As I mentioned in my first post on this subject, X and KDM work fine.... "If I start up my machine, it goes to runlevel 3, and fails to start KDM. It prints the message saying "Starting K Desktop Manager: kdm." but it doesn't do much else. If I login to the shell and run "init 3" from runlevel 2, the same happens. If I then run "/etc/init.d/kdm start", kdm starts up fine. I've noticed that "/usr/bin/kdm" and "/usr/bin/kdm_config" show up in the process table when init tries to load KDM, and they stay there for some time, but there is no entry for an X server... KDM seems to fail to load X when run from init. I've tried everything I can think of, hacking the shell script /etc/init.d/kdm, removing, changing and reconfiguring X, xdm and kdm, to no avail. I wrote a new simple init script, "local", put into it "/usr/bin/kdm", and added it as default, with no luck. There's this black hole problem that I can't get any closer to when init calls kdm via an init script." Regards, Tom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
