Hi Kent! I think it's not window-manager related. I tried different windowmanagers and it's all the same problem. The display manager tells me "login failed" (in kdm) or "authentication failed" (in gdm) everytime I try to login with the correct log-in and password. So the only way to get into KDE or something like that is to start X manually. I have also the blackbox and the enlightment installed. If I start X with startx, the blackbox is loaded as the default. Could it be, that there occurrs a conflict, if X is started then automatically by kdm or so? Do I have to edit a config-file to change something?
