It has? I'm using startx instead of KDM currently for various complicated reasons. It works fine. I've seen it not work in the past, though. I think what I did in that case was xinit /usr/bin/startkde I seem to recall having to do that for awhile, the last time KDM was broken. i'll give that a whorl...looking at the file seems to tell me what i wanted to know thanks and Peace..ed Edward M Dunagin 514 Sanders Ave Bozeman, MT 59718 406.555-7282 Skype-phone +1 406 662 0179 __ Yahoo!
