Does your monitor shut off before or after you try to log in.
I had lots of trouble when I used xdm. I switched to gdm, and still
had trouble. But the nice thing about gdm is that I can specify what
window manager to use each time I log in. This allows me to experiment,
I hand-upgraded icewm and gdm, and then icewm worked.
I never got KDE to work, though.
