it turns out to have been a probblem with PAM all along. I had /etc/pam.d/kdm (as I had /etc/pam.d/xdm - I had login in with xdm). The relevent file is /etc/pam.d/kde. I am now able to login to the kde4 desktop with the via vga drivers using kdm (as opposed to startx from the command line). An example of the /etc/pam.d/kde is shown below:- [ /etc/pam.d ]# cat kde #%PAM-1.0 auth include system-auth account required pam_nologin.so account include system-auth password include system-auth session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke session include system-auth session required pam_loginuid.so session optional pam_console.so Hope someone struggling with kde4( on 64bit builds) will find this of use, yours sincerely lux-integ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
