Hi,
I am using the graphical login of KDM to login in my SuSE 5.3 system (kernel 2.0.35) but _sometimes_ KDM does not 'catch on' after booting, and keeps respawning.
What actually happens is: - all the ususal boot messages flash by - 'Starting KDM...' - screen goes black after one very short flash of something while KDM tries to connect to the X-server (I presume) and fails - KDM respawns and etcetera.
The only way to stop this is the three-finger salute, switch off the pc and restart after a while.
What causes this intermittent problem and how can I solve it?
