"Start New Session ..." in KDE menu does not work
A new X server starts (I see the NVidia logo and then the standard X mouse
pointer) but then fails immediately, returning me to my original KDE session
I have enclosed my log files and /etc/X11/Xservers

The bug is in the nVidia driver. See the nVidia Linux mailinglists for more info. If you really want to open more sessions, you have to use the built-in driver 'nv'. Put a section like the next in your /etc/X11/XF86config: Section "Device" BoardName "0x0312" BusID "1:0:0" Driver "nv" Identifier "Device[nv]" Screen 0 EndSection In the section 'Screen', change the Device accordingly: For the (broken) nVidia driver: Device "Device[0]" For the built-in nv driver: Device "Device[nv]" Match the device name in the 'Screen'-section has to the identifiername in the appropriate 'Driver'-section. This is the way I have set it up. I don't need nVidia's driver frequently, but with a few keystrokes and logging out of X I can change the driver. Cheers, Leen

I have search there and not find anything particular useful. Is this a KDE 3.2 only problem? Thomas
