Hi All, Just installed SuSE 9.3 on a PIII 866, 384 MB RAM, Samsung 19" LCD panel. The installation hiccuped at first, after the initial installation screens the video looked like I needed a horizontal adjust scroll wheel on the back of the monitor like in the old B/W TV days. Couldn't read anything, so restarted the installation in text mode. I set the video display to a safe 1024 x 768, tested it, and KDE started with no problems. My monitor put up a window stating that preferred settings are 1280 x 1024, so after installation I changed it to the preferred settings. Tested it, no problems with the display, everything looked perfect. I downloaded all of the SuSE updates and rebooted. Upon reboot, the login screen is a plain login window, and after logging in I am confronted with ...nothing. A right-mouse click gives some options, including an X Term. From there I can type KDE and get the normal KDE windows (sort of). Some manipulation gets the menu bar back across the bottom. Where can I change this to set KDE as the default Windows system upon login? TIA, 2AM PS - It's this sort of thing that would drive a Linux NOOB back to Redmond (I'm writing this from my XP Pro box).

Yes, it's an unfortunate part of the SuSE 9.3 install (or at least it was for me). Try changing DISPLAYMANAGER to kdm i.s.o. xdm in the /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager file. Let me know if you run into any other issues after this has been changed. Regards, Pieter Hulshoff
