I've just upgraded the XFree86-server for the security problem and from the kdm login screen, I can't login as a user, but root is OK with either KDE or GNOME. I moved the user directory and copied the original in from a backup copy -- no good. Used YaST2 to create a new user -- still no good. I can successfully login from a terminal via "xterm -e login lancelot". From /var/log/messages when I am up as root, START NEW SESSION and try logging in on the session as user on either KDE or GNOME. The screen goes blank and throws me back into the root session.

It looks like you've upgrade the XFree pkg without restarting KDM. You must do this because the X server is running so you can use KDM.. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org ----- If two men agree on everything, you can be sure that only one of them is doing the thinking.
I've also rebooted several times. I upgraded with X up and running, then I decided to shutdown and 1. booted 2.6.0-test5 kernel, but had a problem mounting root. 2. Rebooted the 2.4.20 SuSE kernel and had the user login problem. 3. Rebooted to runlevel 3 and reinstalled the XFree86-server with --force --nodeps. 4. init 5 and was able to login only as root. 5. Rebooted and again, was only able to login as root. Regards Sid. Ben Rosenberg wrote:
