Questions about x window environment (kdm and xdm)



Hello all,

I have installed Sarge with the netiso cd and then installed x-window, kde, mozilla and everything to have a working desktop.

I have later installed xdm and kdm and changed /etc/inittab to have run level 5.

When it starts it tries to run kdm but then crashes. If I type manually then either xdm and kdm work. What do I need to edit/change to overcome this problem?

The message I get after it boots is:

Starting K Desktop Manager: kdm
Not Starting X display manager (xdm); it is not the default display manager.

Then it shows the text login screen. It looks like that it is trying to load both kdm and xdm.

Can anyone point me the way how to solve this?

Thanks,
Charlie.
