I would look in /var/log/kdm.log.  See if anything nasty is in there.

Your welcome.  Most logs are in there.  Names depend on what logger you 
use but they are there.  Sometimes they help, sometimes they confuse you 
more.  Sounds like the man pages don't it?

Re: [gentoo-user] kdm 4 won t start kde, AGP seems to be off on kdm-4.0 only

[cypherstrong]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2523 bytes --]

Ok I have found why kdm-4.0 don't work

They doesn't support seamless login over pam even with nullpassword and
nopassword activated !!!
I use pamusb with a key, and login won't done without password sets ...
I will ask to kde team why ...

I have look in kdm.log and I have found another problem

(II) Module already built-in
(II) Module already built-in
(II) Module already built-in
(EE) VIA(0): [drm] drmAgpAcquire failed 19
expected keysym, got XF86KbdLightOnOff: line 70 of pc

expected keysym, got XF86KbdBrightnessUp: line 72 of pc
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:

>                   Ignoring extra symbols
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server

VIA(0) drmAgepAcquire failed

The result is the same between kdm-3.5 and kdm-4.0 except on display speed

If I use kdm-4.0, the screen display is really slow, I really think agp
is totally disabled, and everything take long time to be show even if I
use kde-4.0 or kde-3.5 session

Now I have try the same on kdm-3.5, speed is good on kde-4.0 or kde-3.5,
I think agp is good on it

I have look in Xorg.0.log, dri and agp are well activated

What happen ? Did I miss a use option ?

opengl and dri are totally activated on my use,

perhaps I have to try another drivers for via unichrome ?

In kernel, I have disabled AGP for VIA (because i think it's not a via
unichrome drivers), and activate DRI for VIA (it's a via unichrome dri
drivers)

with or without AGP for VIA in kernel, I have the same message on all
log, so ...

Did you have an idea ?

I'm not real sure but I do have the USE flag dri in my make.conf.  
xorg-server is the package that shows it uses it but there may be other 
packages.

To find out if you have a flag enabled or not, you can do a emerge -pv 
<package-name> and then look in the list to see if it is enabled or 
not.  Something like this:

root@smoker / # emerge -pv xorg-server

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

root@smoker /

If you have color on yours, red is enabled and blue is disabled.  If not 
color, the flags with the minus sign is front are disabled.  You can do 
a euse -i <flag name> to see a short, very short, description of what 
the flag does or it's use.

If you change make.conf, you can do a emerge -avN world to make sure all 
the needed packages are recompiled with the changes.

I have never seen that error before.  Not real sure what to think about 
it.  Anybody else here have a clue??

Hi, thanks for recalling of emerge usage

I have set opengl and dri, Xorg seems to see properly agp, but kdm
failed to aquire on it

difference between 3.5 and 4.0, it's that 3.5 even if they fail, they
seems to use it properly by not 4.0

I will wait for another version, more usable

4.0.2 has some disturbing bug, that should be correct in svn now
wait and cross leg for 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 version
How this version don't be disturb for downloading by "Page Not Found"
exception (Error 404 :) )
Ok I get out

See ya
