Thanks Oswald and James. You both hit exactly my problem. |
| 31 |
As James pointed out kdm was using the config files under |
| 32 |
/usr/kde/3.1/share/config/kdm - that's where my kde installation is -, |
| 33 |
and just as Oswald guesses there was a problem with Xservers. |

### Don't change these two lines; they are hints for genkdmconf. ### |

Xservers on /etc/X11/xdm, which gdm and xdm were using, didn't force a |
| 46 |
vt, while Xservers on /usr/kde/3.1/share/config/kdm forced vt7 which was |
| 47 |
already used by a login. |
| 48 |
That also explains why I got some garbage on my 7th console whenever I |
| 49 |
run kdm. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Well, given that not forcing a specific vt should always work, it'll |
| 52 |
simple switch to the first one available, don't you think it's better to |
| 53 |
just remove it altogether, leaving simply a call to /usr/X11R6/binX? In |
| 54 |
fact, the reason some build were running fine while others were not, |
| 55 |
seems to indicate that Xservers have changed between versions. I'll just |
| 56 |
check it now... |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
Yes, I checked the other box where beta2 is installed and Xservers on |
| 59 |
/usr/.../kdm/ is identical to the one on /etx/X11/xdm. |
| 60 |
The installation was done in exactly the same way with all versions, |
| 61 |
might it be a difference in genkdmconf which AFAIK generates the kdm |
| 62 |
config files? |
