All of your points exactly match mine now that I have corrected the problem of a missing background file. I suspect that kdm is restarting X or something when a session ends and it can't find the backgound.

I also use i810 and see this behaviour only when trying to restart the X server from within X. Going to a VT first and running "/etc/init.d/kdm restart" works, though. However, shutting down from within X works. I also use the framebuffer to get a nice VT and I actually blame the crappy video output situation under linux for this. Try without framebuffer, without DRI and without XVMC support and maybe that fixes it. HS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: kdm background - where?
Hi, | Over the past few days, my kdm background (a sort of swirl of blue) | has dissappeared. Instead I have a solid mid blue background. | | my /etc/kde3/kdm/backgroundrc file refers to | | Wallpaper=debian-kde_default.png | | but searching my complete hard drive for such a filename fails to | find it. | | I am keen to understand where it should be located and replace it | (what package should it be in?), [. . .] I use the testing distribution of Debian, both at work and at home. It seems that debian-kde_default.png is basically included in the kdebase-data package, but version 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-2, which I use at work does have it, but version 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-5, which I use at home does not. That means that the latest upgrade (yesterday or the day before yesterday) eliminated it. Today when I switched on my home machine, I noticed that the login background has changed. By the way, the file is /usr/share/wallpapers/debian-kde_default.png in my work machine. If you need it, I could send it to you. (But, I might upgrade my work machine soon, losing the file. So hurry up if you want to ask :-) Regards, Ryo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I store my config in git and did a git -reset just recently. I think it wiped away an update to the config done my debian.

kdm background - where?
Over the past few days, my kdm background (a sort of swirl of blue) has dissappeared. Instead I have a solid mid blue background. my /etc/kde3/kdm/backgroundrc file refers to Wallpaper=debian-kde_default.png but searching my complete hard drive for such a filename fails to find it. I am keen to understand where it should be located and replace it (what package should it be in?), because I have had a new fault for a few days. When I end my current session, instead of seeing kdm's login screen I just have a completely blue background. Even worse than that Ctrl-Alt-F1 does not bring up the console but a blank grey screen The only way to do anything is to ctrl-alt-backspace followed by ctrl-alt-del which reboots the machine I suspect some combination of xorg-xserver and my i810 video not working, but before submitting a bug report I just want to rule out a kdm problem. Can someone explain to me where I should find this background file and what package it should be in, so I can restore it.
