Hi John. That error can mean a number of things: X is not running because it lacked a valid mode line (most common) X is not running because it died for some other reason X is refusing connections (less common) Try starting "X" on its own and see what happens. If you get a grey screen and a mouse pointer than it worked ok - control-alt-backspace to kill the X server you started. If X fails to start it will leave an error message (which will turn up in .xsession-errors too). If you need to use X in a hurry and kdm is broken, startx will get you out of trouble. If this works but kdm doesn't then the problem relates to kdm. Rob -- Robert Brockway B.Sc. Phone: +1-416-669-3073 Senior Technical Consultant Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] OpenTrend Solutions Ltd.
