When you installed KDE3, it installed the KDE3 version of KDM, but your system is unaware of it. To fix it you to change the line in /etc/inittab from: #x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon to: x:5:respawn:/opt/kde3/bin/kdm -nodaemon This is assuming that your KDE3 is installed in /opt/kde3 and that /opt/kde3/bin does contain kdm.
