Just to make sure - you cannot launch any session type from kdm, not even failsafe? What happens if you try to run Xsession manually, i.e.: $ X & [switch back to VTY] $ env DISPLAY=:0 /usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xsession default [switch back to X11] Does KDE start? If not, try running Xsession as above but with shell tracing enabled like $ env DISPLAY=:0 sh -x /usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xsession default to see where it hangs/exits.
