I just bought and installed SuSE 9.0 as an upgrade to my SuSE 8.2 system, which was fully functional.

The problem: I cannot log into my home account with KDE.

The system boots successfully (as far as I can tell), and presents the graphical login screen. When I select KDE and a user to log in as, the system attempts to create an X-session, and then goes into a full hard reboot. It's a cycle.

I can run Window Maker, FVWM and a few others, so it doesn't appear to be an X11 issue. I have run SaX2 successfully, so there should be a valid X config. Coincidentally I also can't run Gnome, but I guess that's an issue for the Gnome list.

Is this a known issue? Any suggestions? Sorry if this has been addressed before.

Reid, If you haven't yet checked, I think I would check to see if all of KDE & Gnome was installed that you needed to use those. Seems odd that at least KDE is not working, as that is the default, but it certainly sounds like both are missing some files to make them work.
