Hi All, Just installed SuSE 9.3 on a PIII 866, 384 MB RAM, Samsung 19" LCD panel. The installation hiccuped at first, after the initial installation screens the video looked like I needed a horizontal adjust scroll wheel on the back of the monitor like in the old B/W TV days. Couldn't read anything, so restarted the installation in text mode. I set the video display to a safe 1024 x 768, tested it, and KDE started with no problems. My monitor put up a window stating that preferred settings are 1280 x 1024, so after installation I changed it to the preferred settings. Tested it, no problems with the display, everything looked perfect. I downloaded all of the SuSE updates and rebooted. Upon reboot, the login screen is a plain login window, and after logging in I am confronted with ...nothing. A right-mouse click gives some options, including an X Term. From there I can type KDE and get the normal KDE windows (sort of). Some manipulation gets the menu bar back across the bottom. Where can I change this to set KDE as the default Windows system upon login? TIA, 2AM PS - It's this sort of thing that would drive a Linux NOOB back to Redmond (I'm writing this from my XP Pro box).

Check the file /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager and look at DISPLAYMANAGER= so that it looks like DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm" if you want to use the kdm login screen. If you change anything in the file then issue SuSEconfig as the user root to save the changes in their proper places. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
