Hi all, currently it seems that I have a similar problem: I wanted to have kdm as display manager (please! no hints aboutdisplay and windowmanagers, ok?). I selected it with dpkg-reconfigure kdm... and it does not work. I only can start kde by calling startx, not as runlevel default login. Is this a bug? When I call dpkg-reconfigure kdm and select gdm, startkde tells me lots of errors about the missing display. but anyway, I wanted kdm :-)
