Already done that. The XF86Config and XF86Config-4 are fine, since X works in Failsafe
mode , i.e. not running Gnome or KDE, and at any reolution/colour depth.
Since posting the initial message I've actually managed to "fix" KDE. There's a laptop
APM section in /usr/bin/startkde...
# if [ ! -e "$HOME"/.kde/share/config/kcmlaptoprc -a -e /proc/apm ]; then
# # Try to figure out if we're on a laptop
# if ! /bin/cat /proc/apm |grep -q "?"; then
# We appear to be on a laptop with battery status notification
# cat >"$HOME"/.kde/share/config/kcmlaptoprc <<EOF
#[BatteryDefault]
#Enable=true
#EOF
# fi
#fi
And commenting that out allowed KDE to start succesfully. Now to fine the Gnome
equivalent...
Thanks for the suggestion though.
Will.
