I had also already read the thread "can't connect to any desktop". However, commenting out the line about ssh-agent in Xsession.options did not change anything. From what I read, I understood that the problem occured for versions of openssl and libssl that are newer than 0.9.8-3. But I have only the openssl 0.9.7g-2 and libssl 0.9.7e-3 installed.
Any more suggestions? - Emmanuel A J Stiles wrote:

I ran into the 2 following problems - When the kdm login screen appears, I do not have any keyboard input. I cannot enter neither my login nor my password. If I try to restart the X session, nothing changes. If I try console login, I can log in without any problem. Then, I can start kdm as root and when the login window appears I can normally enter my username and password. - At this point appears the second problem: after validating my username and password, the kdm window disappears... and appears again. I can never get the desktop running. On the other hand, such troubles do not happen at all with gdm. Does anyone have already seen these symptoms? (Is it serious, doc?) Thanks for any help, - EmmanuelDon't know if this is related; but I recently changed my 32-bit machine running Etch from XFree86 to Xorg and there was an error in the generated xorg.conf, an instance of Driver "Keyboard"that should have read Driver "keyboard"This was keeping X from starting up altogether, and it cost me a night's sleep as I faffed around trying to get a working xorg.conf together. OTOH, now I have done it, it rocks bells.If it makes any difference, I have been using the open source "nv" graphics card drivers all along on both my 32 and 64 bit machines.
