Dear all,
My apologizes for asking a question which is not so related to the list ...
Here it goes: I have a machine recently upgraded to FreeBSD-Stable 3.3
through cvsup+make world. Some weeks later I decided to give KDE a try, by
(cd /usr/ports/x11/kde11-i18n;make install). Everything went smoothly
except the KDM, which seems couldn't let me login. After entering the
correct userid and password at the KDM welcome window, then for a very short
period of time the screen becomes black, very short in fact. After that the
KDM welcome window will just reappear again.
The password checking part is fine, if I enter the wrong password, some
error message will be printed on the KDM welcome window.
I've checked the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config file. No any error
message printed in the DisplayManager.errorLogfile (which is the standard
xdm-errors). I also couldn't find anything in the ~/.xsession-errors file.
in fact, nothing at all in these two files.
I have a ~/.xsession file, which is a symbolic link to ~/.Xclients (mode:
0755).
The KDM was started by typing "kdm" when login as root.
Oddly enough, if I run xdm instead of kdm, everything just works fine. I
can login successfully and whatever program specified in ~/.Xclients will be
executed, error message/output will also started filling the two error log
files (/usr/X11/...../xdm-errors and ~/.xsession-errors).
I've searched the KDE mailing list, seems someone also facing the same
problem. Too bad he said he had solve it, by looking at the two error log
file (xdm-error, ~/.xsession-error).
As ususal, any comments/hints will be much appreciated.
Thanks for your time!
