Re: KDE Themes Missing?

I was able to get KDM working by switching a value in one of the config files from true to false so that it would force KDM to start. Worked great except for the fact that my keyboard didn't work...
I looked online and it seems like it's a fairly common problem. I just decided to turn off the graphical login and just use the console and startx. It's easy and probably less CPU intensive. Thanks for the help. :)

Why not just: apt-get install kdm, and when it asks, say you want kdm as
the default display manager.  Or change /etc/X11/default-display-manager
file to have the right name.  That is what the init.d files for xdm, kdm
and gdm look at to decide which one of them should actually start.
