hello Eric,
After installed the X window system and KDE I created the
file ~/.xinitrc which contains;
exec startkde
after I created the file I could use startx to run KDE.
I then setup KDM by editing the file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession. I
added the following to the file;
case $# in
1)
case $1 in
kde)
exec /usr/local/bin/startkde
;;
failsafe)
exec xtem -geometry 80x24-0-0
;;
esac
esac
Finally I added the following to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0;
/usr/local/bin/kdmdesktop
KDM loads but when I log in nothing happens, I just end up back at the
login screen. This is all the info I can think of. If I missed any
please let me know.
Thanks again
Brett

Brett,
startkde isn't working, because X11 has not be started yet, so there are no
sessions for it to connect to. This is, iirc, the normal behavior.
Generally, people could start a generic x session and run startkde from an
xterm in that session. Having an "exec startkde" in your .xinitrc file just
basically does this for you.
As far as your other problem, we'd need more information about your setup.
What did you do/not do to get kdm working.
Give us the info and we should be able to help you.
