Guys, Changing from gdm to kdm, I modified the displaymanager settings in sysconfig and set the displaymanager to kdm and the theme to a theme name in /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/themes as follows: 14:59 zephyr:~> noc /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm" DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS="no" DISPLAYMANAGER_ROOT_LOGIN_REMOTE="no" DISPLAYMANAGER_STARTS_XSERVER="yes" DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER_TCP_PORT_6000_OPEN="no" DISPLAYMANAGER_AUTOLOGIN="" DISPLAYMANAGER_PASSWORD_LESS_LOGIN="no" DISPLAYMANAGER_AD_INTEGRATION="no" DISPLAYMANAGER_SHUTDOWN="auto" DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_VGA="" DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_auto="1024x768_60 64.11 1024 1080 1184 1344 768 769 772 795 -HSync +Vsync" DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER="Xorg" KDM_USERS="" KDM_GREETSTRING="" DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_THEME="lzfy-kde4" DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_LOCALARGS="" 14:59 zephyr:~> noc /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager DEFAULT_WM="gnome" INSTALL_DESKTOP_EXTENSIONS="yes" X_MOUSE_CURSOR="DMZ" KDE_USE_IPV6="yes" KDE_BUILD_GLOBAL_SYCOCA="initial" KDE_USE_IDN="yes" But regardless of what I set the theme to, all I ever get is that generic square xdm login with the round clock above the username/password fields. How do I get kdm going again? What else to check? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
