I just upgraded my MDK8.0 system to MDK9.0 and everything seems to have gone smoothly except for one slight snafu. I can't login into my system through kdm. If I give it my login and password, the kdm window goes away, I get a black screen, and then the login screen immediately comes back. Running 'last' shows that I did actually login, but for about 1 second. The interesting thing is that if I 'init 3' and then just run startx, I am able to use X w/o any problems. These login issues only happen when using my account, the superuser can login t hrough kdm with no problems whatever. I've looked through various log files and there does not seem to be usefull data anywhere. I've deleted all .k* and .X* and .x* files from ~ to attempt a reset of my X environemnt, but still no luck. Any ptrs appreciated. Tnx, ~Deepak -- Deepak Saxena - dsaxena@plexity.net How much do you value your freedom? Would you trade your freedom for some illusion of security?
