hello,
I am having some problems with startkde and kdm. When I run startkde i get the following outpit;
xset: unable to open dispaly ""
xsetroot: unable to open display ''
startkde: starting up...
ksplash cannot connect to X server
kdeinit: Aborting. $DISPLAY is not set
Warning: connect() failed: : no such file or directory
ksmserver : cannot connect to X server
startkde: shutting down
Warning: connect() failed: : no such file or directory
Error : Can't contact kdeinit!
startkde: Running shutdown scripts
startkde: done


When I run startx kde runs fine.


I thinks it's because startx launches X before it starts startkde, and startkde only attempts to launch KDE, which isn't going to work if there is no X server running.

When I edit /etc/ttys to enable a graphical login, kdm runs but nothing happens when I log in. The login screen is just reloaded. Any help would be great.



What about XDM? Is that working? Is your /var/log/XFree86 giving you any useful output? (connection refused or something?)

Cheers,

Jorn
