You may be on to something. In perusing the log files I found one that stated the nvidia driver 'tainted' the kernel. Now, this is a new installation - only about a week old. after installing, I got YOU going and in the process downloaded the nvidia driver. All went well ... until today. So I guess my next question needs to be how do I disable the nvidia driver and fall back to something that works so I can get in and manually get this beast back on its feet? I tried running sax2, but all I get is a blank screen with an outlined X in the middle of it. I looked in SaX.log and found a long litany of information, but nothing that jumped out at me as a problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Bill Lugg Milstar Software Support Peterson AFB, CO On Thu, 23 December 2004 4:16 pm, BandiPat wrote:

This morning I started my SuSE 9.1/KDE 3.2 box and it goes through the boot process but leaves me at the 'linux login:' prompt in a text console when it should have started KDE. I logged in a root and did an 'init 5' and it put several things up on the screen, displayed the nvidia splash screen and returned to the text console.
What do I need to do to get KDE running again? I'm not seeing any errors during the boot that would lead me to the problem.
My first thoughts would be either your Nvidia setup or you need to run sax2, in order to setup your graphics. I'm guessing you recently updated or installed a new Nvidia driver?
