Probably you will want to use another driver (in due time). You could try the 'ati' driver, but I would recommend to look up the thread which was on the list a few weeks ago on new drivers released by ati. > Any way, I get a graphical login screen but when I login as root That is good. You now know that X Windows works. So this almost certainly has nothing to do with video drivers, resolutions, colour depths etc. BTW: _don't_ login as root. Login as a regular user. You _have_ a regular user account, don't you? > it attempts to load KDE but then returns back the login screen like there > was an error. I am wondering what I did wrong in the setup to have it First try logging in as a normal user. Then, if KDE still backs out, try to login using another window manager (should be selectable on the login screen). If that _does_ work, there is something wrong with KDE. Check as much error logs as you can find: .xsession-errors in your home dir, /var/log/* HTH, David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
