Just to make sure - you cannot launch any session type from kdm, not even=20
failsafe?

What happens if you try to run Xsession manually, i.e.:

$ X &
[switch back to VTY]
$ env DISPLAY=3D:0 /usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xsession default
[switch back to X11]

Does KDE start? If not, try running Xsession as above but with shell tracin=
g=20
enabled like

$ env DISPLAY=3D:0 sh -x /usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xsession default

to see where it hangs/exits.


Cheers,
