1 Hi All,

3 Problem has been resolved, however I am not positive what worked. As the situation was, I could not log in graphically with any user, root included. I had recompiled all x11 drivers as well as the kernel and every package I found /usr/bin/X linked against, recompiled hal, etc. All this and no fatal errors in the Xorg.0.log :-( On this final try I rechecked the config files for xdm, Xsession, xorg.conf and a few others and made a few tiny changes. I also went ahead and recompiled the x11-drivers again and one I had not recompiled prior to now ..... mesa. The problem was definately with one of the programs that was recompiled, however I can only suspect which one. Many thanks to all the suggestions. I did learn a couple of new tricks out of this. Now to get KDE reinstalled and go back to the nvidia driver.
