Starting kdm from a root login brings up the login manager window where he ca login as user.. Then make the changes to allow his syste to start as init 5 (Xwindows), log out and reboot into Xwindows, kdm login manager. Yeah, I realise. I was only suggesting an alternative in case for some reason launching kdm didn't work - for example, if it for some reason had not been installed. He mentioned that he was able to launch KDE manually, so a startx based approach was likely to work.

Re: [XFree86] newbie - i wanna run KDE but XFree86 runs first!
>>When the install phase of XFree package finish, the system automatically startup with an old grapich interface, not with KDE intreface. Y loggon in this old interface as root and type KDE, and KDE interface aperst inside the old desktop. I need the system startup automatically with KDE desktop, waht can i do?? sorry for my basic and rudimentary english... Thanks type kdm from a root console login. After you're logged in use the Red Hat control center to make changes that allow you to use kdm as your login mabager. Alternately, you should be able to run (as a normal user, not root) startx `which KDE` (replace KDE with whatever command you used to run KDE, usually "startkde") to get it going. Please do not run this as root - you run the risk of all sorts of problems. You're much better off logging in as a normal user and running a particular command as root in a terminal using "su -c command". Most recent distros will ask you for your root password when you try to run root-only tools as a normal user, making it even easier. Once you've fired up KDE, you should be able to use the KDE admin tools to set it as default. Editing "/etc/sysconfig/desktop" and changing whatever the default desktop shown there is to "KDE" should also work.

Hi, im very newbie in linux. when i try install suse 8.1, 1 package return error, xf86-4.2.0-176.i586.rpm. when then install phase finished, y loggon with command line (consola) as root, and download XFree86 package from XFree86.org in the download section and install them. When the install phase of XFree package finish, the system automatically startup with an old grapich interface, not with KDE intreface. Y loggon in this old interface as root and type KDE, and KDE interface aperst inside the old desktop. I need the system startup automatically with KDE desktop, waht can i do?? sorry for my basic and rudimentary english... Thanks
