Below is the contents of my xdm.log. I notice there are some missing directories. Is this my problem, and if so, what is the best way of regenerating them? XFree86 Version 4.3.0 Release Date: 27 February 2003 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6 Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.20 i6

Logging in to user account in console mode and typing startx starts kde automatically. Logging into root in console and typing xdm gives a non kdm login screen, and logging in to the user account starts kde. Is there a good place I can put some debug statements to see what is happening? Fred
