I have now fixed all the problems with Xorg7.4  but I still cannot login in 
via kdm.  (just to recap   the machine is an   AMD64 linux box with 
kde-4.2.1.   kernel-2.6.28.10,  gcc-4.3.2,  and  Xorg-7.4  

a) I can start kde  via the startx/startkde command from the command line for 
normal user and root
a) and xdm works  -I can login via xdm  
c) but I cannot login with  kdm.  

the snippet below shows   a tail of the file /var/log/auth.log

---------------------
[ /etc/pam.d ]# tail  /var/log/auth.log
May 18 10:01:14 clfsX6408b login[2137]: ROOT LOGIN  on 'tty1'
May 18 10:03:48 clfsX6408b kdm: :0[2176]: pam_warn(kde:auth): 
function=[pam_sm_authenticate] service=[kde] terminal=[:0] user=[forker]

ruser=[<unknown>] rhost=[<unknown>]
[ /etc/pam.d ]#

Note  in the above snippet the arguments   [ruser=<unknown>] and 
[rhost=<unknown>].  I tried to  modify /opt/kde4/share/config/kdm(Xaccess 
and Kdmrc)  to   disable xdmcp  and set host as localhost only,  but it made 
no difference.    Below are the entries I use for  /etc/pam.d/xdm 
and /etc/pam.d/kdm

--------------
[ /etc/pam.d ]# cat xdm
#%PAM-1.0
auth     include        system-auth
account  include        common-account
password include        common-password
session  required       pam_loginuid.so
session  include        common-session
#session  required       pam_resmgr.so

[ /etc/pam.d ]# cat kdm
#%PAM-1.0
auth       include     system-auth
#account    required    pam_nologin.so
account    include     system-auth
password   include     system-auth
#session    optional    pam_keyinit.so force revoke
session    include     system-auth
#session    required    pam_loginuid.so
session    optional    pam_console.so
--------------------

Below is to a tail of the logfile /var/log/kdm.log

----------------

[ /etc/pam.d ]# tail /var/log/kdm.log

I checked my Xorg configuration and  logs and there are no errors. 

Help would be appreciated.
