New info on the previous message. If I select XDM as the login manager, it gets to the login screen, but does not accept keyboard input and locks up the machine. Going back to KDM still results in console login.

I upgraded ALSA to get the sound card working, Now I don't even get the gui login screen, have to do console command login, then start X. I the X Font Server problem perhaps related to not being able to get the gui login.
