Re: kdm restarts the x server twice and then gives up
This looks like a xft2/fontconfig issue, you may want to try upgrading to the version of libxft2, libfontconfig1, and fontconfig to the ones in sid. libxft2, libfontconfig1, and fontconfig were all up to date but I found libqt3c102-mt depended on libxft2. Upgrading libqt3c102-mt to the version in sid solved my problem and kde now works fine :-) Thank you all for your help.
Re: kdm restarts the x server twice and then gives up
After finding some have had similar trouble running the nvidia driver in xfree86 I changed to nv but that doesn't help. Have you tried to recompile the nVidia drivers? You have to do that every time you recompile your kernel. Have a look at http://www.StephanWehrheim.de/computer/dell8200+debian30/dell8200+debian30.html#X Ciao, Stephan

Have a look at http://www.StephanWehrheim.de/computer/dell8200+debian30/dell8200+debian30.h tml#X I recompiled my kernel a week before the trouble started. I did what the link desribes and it worked fine for a week. As I said I tried running the nv driver which comes as part of the XFree86 and requires no kernel module but that did not fix the problem. Both startkde and kde3 do not start kde from an xterm and the default setup of xdm does not have a select session option so I now cannot run kde anymore! mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .

If you want a selection like kdm has but you don't want kdm, try wdm instead of xdm.

kdm restarts the x server twice and then gives up
I am running sarge with kde 3.1 from sid. My setup was fine before today but now when kdm runs it restarts the x server, tries again, restarts the x sever and then gives up. From /var/log/syslog: Mar 30 22:06:53 danscomputer kdm[17514]: Greeter exited unexpectedly Mar 30 22:06:53 danscomputer kdm[17514]: Abnormal helper termination, code 127, signal 0 and eventually... Mar 30 22:06:53 danscomputer kdm[17488]: Display :0 is being disabled (restarting too fast) I have tried clearing /var/lib/kdm and deleteing /etc/kde3/kdm After finding some have had similar trouble running the nvidia driver in xfree86 I changed to nv but that doesn't help. I ran apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade today but no kde packages were updated? mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
