As I just mentioned on the other copy of this.. (grr.. <g>) I'm seeing either this or something similar. (I have an rpmq shell script that runs rpm -q, thus the command as below.) $ rpmq -a|grep libfreetype libfreetype6-2.1.4-6plf libfreetype6-devel-2.1.4-6plf $ rpmq -a|grep libxfree86 libxfree86-4.3-23mdk libxfree86-devel-4.3-23mdk $ rpmq -a|grep libqt3 libqt3-3.1.2-14mdk libqt3-devel-3.1.2-14mdk Note that I'm also running the NVidia proprietary drivers as well as S3/Virge XFree drivers, the former to allow connecting two monitors to my GForce2 AGP card, the latter for a PCI card connected to a third monitor, using Xinerama. No errors in XFree86.log, X comes up but KDE never starts and eventually reports "giving up" to the console. I hadn't run the dm and graphically logged in in ages, as I prefer starting KDE directly from a console, but it does seem to work now, which is how I have KDE and KMail running to get and reply to this thread. At first I thought it was the NVidia drivers not liking the latest XFree, and refusing to start KDE tho X would start. I've had that happen b4 and had to recompile the drivers to fix it. However, since it works from the dm, that now seems less likely. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
