Ok, I do not know what it is called. I'm running kde-meta 4.3.3 It's the kde screen where you put your login and passwd. It flashes for a second or 2, like the passwd is accepted, but kde cannot start. If I do not auto start kdm via rc-update, then I can log in as a user and X starts (twm?). I can also ssh into the system so the user passwd is ok. > Before you reply, take a look for anything useful in /var/log/kdm.log.
