Well now, that's a good idea! I see now that I DID run xf86config in order to
solve a different problem. And I DID backup my working /etc/XF86Config :-)
So after renaming the XF86Config created during the install, X works fine.
I had forgotton that the initial problem was that I couldn't DO anything once
X and KDE were up and running (oops -- sorry about that.)
Since then, I've figured out that in Slackware, unlike in RedHat, we need to
set up the files in /etc/skel .
After ensuring that /root and /etc/skel and /rks (a user account I had already
set up) had the file .kderc and the directory .kde , I could open programs by
pointing and clicking, but I couldn't type into the terminal window konsole!
No keyboard input would appear in the screen.
After closing X, I read the error messages which were visible, so that I'd
be able to repeat them to the list, when I noticed I still could not use the keyboard.
I could change using alt-F1 alt-F2 and so on, but I couldn't log in, so I had to
implement the 3-finger salute (ctrl-alt-del.)
Any ideas? Following is the error message I could read regarding the keyboard; I also
had messages regarding audio, but I'll look into that later.
