[expert] Weird behavior of display+
I have installed all the new XFree86.3.3.5 files becouse I purchase a new video card that wasn't working with mdk 6.0 It's a Diamond Stealth S540Xtreme - Savage-4 Xtreme with 32mb in vram, 128bit - AGP 4X S3TC running @ 166mhz (memory) and 160mhz (engine clock) well after installing all the new stuff finally worked! ;-) well... Now I get the login GUI ok, but when X starts puts me in a xterm intead of the KDE desktop, I have to manually type 'kde' for kde to start. but if I close the xterm, kde closes as well. I also have not been able to configure my sound card, (it's the price to pay for using cutting edge hardware ;-)) The sound card is an 'Ensonic' from Creative Labs. I have tried the couple of drivers included, none of them seem to work with this card. It complains about not being 'kerne' support for that 'module' I might need to recompile my kernel to add support for this particular card (?) its a PCI Card. Sergio Korlowsky

This is because X is not starting up KDE for you. Sounds like you're getting a "failsafe" session with no window manager at all. At the command line, type "usekde", and that should setup your files for you correctly. -- Arandir... ___ http://www.meer.net/~arandir/
