I encountered this problem too, and it seems like it has a chance of cropping up for anyone that's upgrading from a previous kdm version with a modified kdmrc, and doesn't choose to overwrite it with the packaged file on upgrade. Since everyone that's ever used the Login Manager panel in the control center will have a modified kdmrc, this could be a lot of users.... Reverting /etc/kde3/kdm/Xservers to the previous version solved the problem. 3.3.0-1 dropped the 'vt7' from the end of the :0 line. Might it be worth reverting this change? I'd expect that few people have modified Xservers, so the fix would be silent for most users. % diff Xservers.3.3.0-1.orig Xservers 13c13 < :0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp --- > :0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp vt7 -- Nicholas Breen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
