First off, XDM and GDM work fine. I can log in with either, see a splash screen, then get the regular KDE desktop. Whenever I opt for KDM, I get the login screen and the splash, but after that all I get is my background image and a console window. I can operate at the console, but that's it. Any ideas how to fix it? Thank you. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance Tax Center - File online. File on time. http://taxes.yahoo.com/filing.html
