problems with kdm after update to kde 3.1 on suse linux 8.0

hello, first of all, complements to all working on kde, KDE 3.1 is a great release. good work. But something goes wrong in kdm. After I pressed the logout button in KDE, two large black bars on screen overlaps the logout dialog partially . Only the "ok" and "cancel" buttons are visible in dialog, the rest is black. This error messages appears after starting kdm: Jan 31 14:26:17 stp kdm_config[954]: Unrecognized key 'EnableChooser' at /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc:67 Jan 31 14:26:17 stp kdm_config[954]: Unrecognized key 'LogSource' at /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc:68 Jan 31 14:26:17 stp kdm_config[954]: Unrecognized key 'ShowLog' at /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc:69 The keys are also in the previous kdmrc configuration file (now kdmrc.SuSEconfig). What is going wrong? Wehre can I get detailed information about detailed setup of kdm and xdm? Thanks for your help, Steffen. (PS: Sorry for my bad english)

Hi Steffen! Because kdm configuration is not so difficult, I would suggest that you use the original kdmrc from the rpm and configure kdm again from scratch. The original kdmrc which is insalled through rpm is located in /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm. Don't forget to symlink /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc to /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc Perhaps this solves your problem. Greets, Daniel Am Freitag, 31.

Thanks for your help, Steffen.
