Sounds like you are using startx to start kde.... if so this means you are at run level 3 not 5 ... no problem. In /etc/inittab change this line. id:3:initdefault: to id:5:initdefault: this will put you in runlevel 5 (graphical) from the go. Then in /etc/sysconfig/ there is a file called desktop. It should say something like DISPLAYMANAGER=GDM or for kdm KDM this sets which dm you use at boot. > > Thanks!
