Daniel: Were you attempting an x loggin as root? That might not be a good idea, and it also might not work depending on your security setup. Were you attempting to log in as user? Then take a look at the file in this user home file called .xsession-errors for any details related to the kde failure. Off the top of my head, it might be a missing lib or component for kde. The errors should help you track it down. In my case, I start with blackbox and IceWM first. Once these two super light weight GUI's are installed, I then install kde. If kde breaks, I always have a solid desktop GUI to fall back on. It is also helpful when I am doing a lot of *stuff* to use blackbox to free up extra hardware resources. Congrats on the xfree setup. You're half way there! :) hth tatah - -- Jaye Inabnit\ARS ke6sls\/A GNU-Debian linux user\/ http://www.qsl.net/ke6sls If it's stupid, but works, it ain't stupid. I SHOUT JUST FOR FUN.
