Hi, Thanks a lot for your answer. It does'nt work on me for two reasons : - startkde does'nt finish the job, it awaits in graphic mode for some answers from my side but I don't see anything. Being lost with 'graphic mode not supported in front of me' I can't end the process at all and need to stop the pid startkde. - xorg.conf is not created at that time, probably a bit later on in the graphical process. I used find command but it does'nt find anything.
If someone could help please, I need to find either how to : - switch graphic mode of the Xserver in another console (example tty2 which works fine while the Xserver is in unsopported graphic mode) - use startkde with some options that makes it use another graphic mode more standard.
