Maybe try the 4.2.1 debs for woody from: deb http://debian.mpe.mpg.de/apt-cacher/people.debian.org/~blade/woody/i386 ./ > instructions.

Does KDM run? ps -ef | grep kdm If not try '/etc/init.d/kdm start' for root on the console work. Check /etc/kde2/kdm/Xserver and check that the path to the xserver match the one you've chosen for your own Xfree86 installation (I guess here's the bug ;) Check grep ' kdm[' /var/log/syslog tail -100 /var/log/kdm.log Achim > > debian_newbie, > Thanks -- To me vi is Zen.
