Can't you try switching to a new virtual console, and logging in? That works for me. loging, killall xdm or just run halt. ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Re: [SuSE Linux] Can't exit from KDM Author: "CO" [SMTP:costyn@unicall.be] at BCEEXCH Date: 2/11/99 1:03 PM Hi, I'm experiencing a similar problem. I have KDM running on my PC and because my graphics card is not supported yet (S3 Trio 3D) I have to work with the VGA16 server. That way I work in the lowest resolution possible. When I try to logout, KDM gives the login screen but the "console window" is partially in front of the login screen. Of course, just where the buttons are. So, I can't click the Shutdown button and I have to switch off my PC. This causes the LILO booter to force a harddisk check every time I start up (and on this takes some time). I also would like a solution for this. Does somebody know a way out ? thanks, Claude Ostyn -----Original Message----- From: Delbaere, Tim <TXDELBAE@ctrl.co.uk> To: 'Linux List' <suse-linux-e@suse.com> Date: Thursday, February 11, 1999 12:29 PM Subject: [SuSE Linux] Can't exit from KDM

Hello,

I recently installed SuSE Linux 5.2 onto my PC, and last night I set up

KDM,

and change the login to be graphical. All OK. When I tried to exit last night I could not shutdown, the little button was pressed, but the GO button would not highlight, and so I had to switch off the PC.

Any Ideas

Thanks Tim Delbaere Environment & 0171 692 8024 ) EGH 603 <<A HREF="mailto:txdelbae@ctrl.co.uk">mailto:txdelbae@ctrl.co.uk</A>>
