The Display Manager hasn't anything to do with the sound card, at least not after you entered username and password. So my guess is that you broke your KDM configuration somehow. The situation you describe usually means that the session you're trying to execute is invalid. This can have a variety of reasons. I can't help you here because I don't know what session you're trying to execute. Are you using KDE or Gnome, or do you have a ~/.xsession defined? If the latter is the case I doubt that kdm did work for you, because AFAIK KDM doesn't support Xsession. First check what session is execute upon login. There is a Session menu somewhere on the kdm login screen. Choose a session that you know does exist. > I've recompiled KDE but there's no change. > > I need suggestions on how to analyze this problem and to get kdm to work > again.
