-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 If you want to use kdm, can you start it from a shell, and then send us the debug output? what exactly does it do?
You need to be more specific than "it doesn't work" to get useful replies. As per your suggestion I started KDM from the shell. And I am sending you the error I got. ******************************************************************************** Note that your system uses syslog. All of kdm's internally generated messages (i.e., not from libraries and external programs/scripts it uses) go to the daemon.* syslog facility; check your syslog configuration to find out to which file(s) it is logged. PAM logs messages related to authentication to authpriv.*. ******************************************************************************** X Window System Version 7.1.1 Release Date: 12 May 2006 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.1.1 Build Operating System: UNKNOWN Current Operating System: Linux sujith 2.6.18-6-686 #1 SMP Sun Feb 10 22:11:31 UTC 2008 i686 Build Date: 24 January 2008 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.
