Ellick and Stephen,
Thank you both - that got KDE to run, but only from startx in the
console. Getting there, though. If I boot to runlevel 5 I still get
the "cannot execute "/etc/X11/prefdm"" and respawning too fast
messages. Any further thoughts on how to achieve a normal boot to KDE?
I am beginning to think a fresh install is the only way to unscramble
the mess 7.1 made of my X config. Most grateful for your help so far,
though.
Regards.
