No, this is a problem using kdm. I guess you had to reboot to stop it and
then your filesystem needed e2fsck checking? If it did, first re-mount as
advised to allow you to write and then disable graphical login in rc.config.
then try starting x (startx) and killing it (Ctrl + Alt + backspace),
manually changing the parameters of xf86config file as needed. When you
have gotit working to your satisfaction, it will be safe to re-enable kdm.
You may need to run the file system check (at a guess e2fsck -f -b 8193
/dev/yourrootpartition). Once everything is fixed, reboot and kdm should
start as normal.

:
:Hey there again everyone,
:
:Well I gone and done it this time. Following the advice of changing
:the colour depth on my linux box, thanks for the advice everyone- I
:started up XSetup and it told me that x11 was already running did I
:wnat to reconfigure. Foolishly, I said yes, changed to 16b colour
:depth and saved the configuration. Then I logged out of K, and as
:usual the system started up kdm. Execpt thsi time it didn't it said
:started kdm and then just stopped on the text only screen and then the
:screen began to flash. I rebooted the same thing happend.
:
:Its my own fault, every time I've used XSetup telling it to use
:current settings a sdefaults made it crash, I should have known
:better. anyways, in yast my system is set to do the kdm thing every
:time. I tried booting fron the boot floppy, same thing.
:
:How can I fix this? Or should I just bare with windws for the next few
:days until I get SuSE 6 and have it up and running?
:
:Feeling silly,
:Dom
