This isn't really a problem of your distro; surely you are using kdm to login;
am i right?
Kdm links to a librarie of the Xfree86 in compile time; and if you change the
number version of the XFree; kdm no longer works; this isn't a problem of Red
Hat; this happens with every distro.
What you have to do is to recompile kdm afer you have installed 4.2.99 and it
should work; if you use RPMs for updates; maybe yo could get the kdm part of
kdebase package from the kde's cvs
See You

You've probably already received messages about this before, but just
making sure. I run GNU/Linux, and when I updated to 4.2.99.3 on this
other Red Hat 8 system, the login manager no longer works. I have to
boot into init 3, and was only able to get X to successfully launch
after modifying xinitrc.
I'm going to switch distros shortly, partly because of this problem
(that and RH doesn't support KDE well, and isn't as standards compliant
as I'd like), but in the mean time I figured I'd might as well send in
this feedback. I know a lot of Linux users run Red Hat, and thought I'd
make sure you know that RH's xdm modifications cause problems with
XFree86. It may be just upgrading X in general on RH 8, as I've only
tried upgrading to a pre-release.
If there could be some information regarding this (i.e a work-around or
something) on the site, I'm sure it would help a lot of RH users who
want to upgrade XFree86.
I hope I've helped in some way. I love the kick-ass new features btw :)
