Hi

I am able to start kde from startx at the command line. I edited startx
so that it calls startkde instead of the original stuff.

I am unable to figure out how to get kdm to start kde after a user logs
in. The best I've been able to do is get xsm and an xterm to start. :-(

I have KDE 2.1.1 whit X 4.03 my kernel is 2.4 SMP and my graphics card is
a Matrox G400Max with 2 monitors.

If you want a copy of my startx, just send me an e-mail.
