I can give it a try.... Actually, I say I use KDM (since it is the current default choice in Yast), but I normally log in via the console.

Does the 2.4.5 kernel solve the long-outstanding problems with using KDM and the NVidia drivers?

The problems are that the machine sometimes soft locks, and sometimes hard locks (ie. keyboard/mouse/video stop responding, but sometimes you can log in remotely and do a soft reboot).
How I get this condition is to log into KDM from a fresh reboot, move a few windows around (do a few little things), and then log out of KDE. Then log back in via KDM, and then press ctrl-alt-F1, to go to a virtual terminal. Sometimes it doesn't happen right away, but usually after a few times of doing this, I'll get a weird colored screen, and I'll see the X mouse pointer in the middle, but moving the mouse will not move it. The keyboard becomes locked up (numlock/capslock keys do not affect the lights) and I have to reboot in order to recover.
Can you get this to happen?
Thanks, Steven
Yeah, if you start KDE2 via "startx", then you won't notice this problem.. it seems to be tied to KDM. Thanks, Steven
