All, I've recently installed kde2beta4 from 7.2 beta on my backup boxen and I've got the following problems. If I try to login from the login manager for kde It keeps giving me login failed messages. When I login from the Console no problem. (Root all users etc) If I boot to init level 3 and then run startx it starts... gives me the kde splash screen.... and then drops out of X! Worst of all I can't find any error messages. All I've got in /var/log is a bunch of messages saying UserX attempted to login, login failed. The why is nowhere I'm finding. (Ok I admit it if I knew enough to find it I wouldn't be asking *grin*) I've even tried to replace XF86Config with the pre X4.0 XF86Config and no such luck. arrggghh. I've installed the following packages.

And yes I know it's beta software *grin* but Beta3 ran so nice on my other box I had to try 4. Any ideas on what I didn't install? Where to look in log files? What caliber bullet works best with Linux *grin* Thanks in advance for your help. James
