RE: kdm and startkde

Show us your ~/.xinit ! for kdm/xdm/gdm, - check your hostname. 
Try to run xdm, gdm and kdm manually and let us know if there is any
difference between them.

Subject: kdm and startkde

hello,
  I am having some problems with startkde and kdm. When I run 
startkde i get the following outpit;
  
 xset: unable to open dispaly 
 xsetroot: unable to open display ''
 startkde: starting up...
 ksplash cannot connect to X server
 kdeinit: Aborting. $DISPLAY is not set
 Warning: connect() failed: : no such file or directory
 ksmserver : cannot connect to X server
 startkde: shutting down
 Warning: connect() failed: : no such file or directory
 Error : Can't contact kdeinit!
 startkde: Running shutdown scripts
 startkde: done

When I run startx kde runs fine.
  
   When I edit /etc/ttys to enable a graphical login, kdm runs but 
nothing happens when I log in. The login screen is just reloaded. Any 
help would be great.

Brett

I thinks it's because startx launches X before it starts startkde, and 
startkde only attempts to launch KDE, which isn't going to work if there 
is no X server running.

What about XDM? Is that working? Is your /var/log/XFree86 giving you any 
useful output? (connection refused or something?)

Cheers,
