I actually just figured it out - I switched from using xserver-xfree86 to xserver-svga and it works now. My only problem now is that I get "interference" sort of.

small icons
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hey Folks! Odd question time I've got some customized 'folders' (directories) on my KDE Desktop (net apps, office apps, misc apps, etc) and I've added these folders to my task bar as Quick Browsers. The oddity is, when I click on these folders and open the menu, only a very few of the applications have icons associated with them. Even though I have assigned icons to all applications in the folders. Why? What am I over looking? p.s. Mr. Bishop!

KDE freezes on "initializing peripherals"
Hey all, I've installed KDE on my debian box (via apt-get) and when I fire it up it seems to work fine until I it gets to "initializing perihperals" at which point it freezes - and takes console with it. Nothing can be done at console. ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't kill X, virtual consoles can't be used. I CAN ssh in, but killing X doesn't bring back console - the KDE start up screen stays until a reboot is done. Interestingly enough prior to getting to "initializing perihperals" I can use my mouse just fine. If I set KDE to startup at boot I can use my mouse and type in my password just fine (implying both mouse and keyboard are configured correctly in XF86Config) - but after logging in, when it gets to "initializing perihperals" it again freezes. Another note: I can launch X and twm and it works fine - it's just KDE that has a problem.
