John the problem is not with xdm, that also works fine, but kdm, an equivalent to xdm created to KDE. BDW, how did you do the change? (I would like to learn more linux ^_^) See you El Jue 03 May 2001 13:13, escribiste: I can recreate the same. I have switched to using GDM as my login manager

Just a me too post. I've got the same bug, and reached the same conclusions you have. It looks like a DRI bug to me. I've seen reports of this bug in comp.os.linux.x, too but no solutions (other than revert to XFree 4.0.2) yet. On Monday 30 April 2001 17:44, John Kloian III wrote: You're
