'm starting to suspect it is not an Xorg problem. When I upgraded the kde upgrade bauked at the end saying a series of image files already existed, so I seem to remember I forced the install because I thought they were only picture files (bad boy). Obviously that trashed it.
If I change .xinitrc from exec startkde to exec /opt/kde/bin/startkde, then kde starts, although positions of my icons on toolbars have gone funny. can't enclose the Xorg.0.log cause it bounced from the list. I start from the command line , no kdm.log file Richard On Thu, 24 Feb 2005 11:35 am, you wrote: > Richard Terry wrote: > > run 0.7, working flawlessly, upgraded everything yesterday and swtiched > > off box on way home (runs in my surgery and used by my secretary with > > win4lin). > > > > today craps itself on the startx - comments something about no speedo or > > glx, so I commented out these and still won;t run kde. > > > > Strangly I can start xfce4 or start x as root and run kde from within > > that basic wm that comes up when you type startx as root. > > > > Any ideas?
