RE: KDE and X
I'm not so sure it is a KDE problem.
I have this same problem, but I also have it with
sawfish/Gnome (it is worse - I can't get to a
terminal), and even with only twm and the basic X
system running. Trying to log in just puts you back to
the login screen.
I also have an nVidia card (GeForce2 MX - but that
may be a coincidence).
Anyone else have this problem?
By the way, I managed to get by my xserver-xfree86
hanging-on-install problem. I had debconf set too
high. Putting it on "low" worked fine.
Cheers,
JP

At a guess I'd say it's a KDE problems, if it was an X
problem you
wouldn't get the kdm login screen, Failsafe mode is
nothing like
safe mode in windows, what it does is start a X
session and run
a xterm, it still loads all the same drivers so it's
not a nVidia
problem, I'd look at your KDE install
Cheers
