I couldn't find it in xorg.conf but I thought it was there but maybe not. The weird part is I can type in a command, like reboot, and it reboots. It's just that the kdm screen is still there instead of the console. Weird. I wish I had a Nvidia card that would go in that thing. I'd disable the built in and use that. > Can you try logging in with a text-console (eg. without /etc/init.d/xdm in > your runlevel) and then start X with kde? > > Eg: > > Put the following into your ~/.xinitrc: > ** > exec /usr/local/kde4/bin/startkde > ** > ( % echo "exec /usr/local/kde4/bin/startkde"> ~/.xinitrc > ) > > Then start X from the command-line with: > # startx > > The above commands do NOT need root-access. > > If this works, the issue is with the login.

That room has little cooling plus two fairly full freezers. Anyway, keep in mind that KDE works in failsafe mode. It logs right in but it is somewhat limited since it is failsafe mode. I'm not sure what that is really but it seemed to work different tho. Also, when I login, it seems to get to a little bit of a start then comes back to the login screen. The splash screen shows the hard drive then a couple other pics then goes back to kdm. I have no idea what those other little pics are tho. I do recognize the hard drive one tho. I also logged into Fluxbox just fine too. As usual, Fluxbox works. lol Thanks. Will post results later on when it cools off some. Supposed to be 102F today. That little room will get to at least 90F.
