Greetings,
I spent the last weeks building a 64-bit cblfs-linux setup with
kde4.2.1. (The machine is AMD64-CPU-based with via K8M800 chipset and via
unichrome vga driver. It uses xorg-7.4. I spent most of the time logged in
as user or root (from a bash shell) and executed startkde via
startx. I had little use for kdm as I was troubleshooting and tweaking the
newly built setup. It is almost ready for use so I decided to give kdm a
spin. I launched kdm from a root shell and I obtained a fairly
old-looking login screen. Unfortunately login by any user or root fails
from this login screen. I tried man kdm, man kdmctl for help without
success. Below is the tail of the file /var/log/kdm.log.

It is unclear what the logfile message means notably:-
FATAL: Module via not found.
(EE) [drm] drmOpen failed.
(EE) CHROME(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed. Disabling DRI.
help would be appreciated
