Something is certainly wrong.
I had the same problems. I think it was actually a kde 2.2 thing for me. Every so often the screen would just go black on logout and I would have to kill X. Upgrading to KDE 3.x solved the problem. Also I've never gotten xdm to work. If it starts automatically I cant log in. I enter the correct username and password but it just doesn't start my window manager and stays at the password screen. kdm works just fine. This was the same on both my machines, XP 1600+ and Celery 333. leo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
