Hmm... are you perhaps trying to mix KDE2 and QT1 ?
my $QTDIR is /usr/lib/qt2 which is a symbolic link:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Des 9 01:55 /usr/lib/qt2 -> qt-2.2.2
oh... yes :) I added to my /sbin/init.d/xdm these lines
export QTDIR=/opt/kde/lib export QT2DIR=/usr/lib/qt2 export KDEDIR=/opt/kde export KDE2DIR=/opt/kde2
and then changed "DISPLAYMANAGER=/opt/kde/bin/kdm" to point to /opt/kde2/bin/kdm...
Prolly that's the solution ;-)

The directory is /usr/lib/qt/
Not sure on the error message as I will have to try that when I get home (remote accessing through to home machine).
Thanks :-)

Hi,
I don't have /etc/pam.d/kdm either, AND I do have the "session required /lib/security/pam_devperm.so" in /etc/pam.d/xdm, so that's NOT your problem. I use kdm as a login manager on five workstations ( three intel boxes and two sun sparc boxes ) along with KDE 2.0. All work as planned
:-)
I havn't followed this thread closely, but there is one problem that springs to mind - what is your QTDIR before kdm is executed ? Oh... and do you get in your logs something about xdm not being able to find "XBINDIR/something" ?

Do not seem to have the kdm file in pam.d, that could be the cause too.
Anyone got the settings please? I can re-create it the pam.d directory and re-run it tonight.
