Hmm, that should not be. Check, if there is any other loginmanager active in
init.d. Search at kdm, gdm and lightdm. Just remove all of them. Maybe you
might want to deinstall all of them. I suggest, to purge them, too. (either
aptitude purge packagename or apt-get --purge packagename)
Apropos purging: the comman aptitude purge ~c purges all configurations of all
deinstalled packages and libs. So these do not interfere.
Can you see the output, when you do "startx" as root from the prompt? There
should appear some messages.

Yes, kdm is working also fine. But for testing purposes move it away from
/etc/init.d/, just like gdm.

Hmm, this should work. Did you install the package eeepc-acpi-scripts? If yes,
look at the configuration of it. Note: FN + Space, FN + F6 do not work after
reboot. They are working again, when you did a dpkg-reconfigure eeepc-acpi-
scripts - until next reboot. I sent a bugreport, but still no one cared.

Network-manager is not woorking very well on an EEEPC. I suggest to change to
wicd. If you want to use a GSM-card, try "umtsmon". It is an old qt4-package,
but working very very well. I am no coder, but I tried to change it to use
qt5, but still got no success. For this I am not experienced enough.

Try also apt-get autoremove, and if you know, what you are doing, you can also
try orphaner. This will remove a lot of crap from your system. If after that
something is missing, just reinstall it.
