RE: [SLE] SuSE 9.3 Login/Splash Screen Problem
Easiest way to fix the problem is to use YaST. Select System and then select /etc/sysconfig Editor. In the left hand navigation tree, select Desktop and then DISPLAYMANAGER. Set this to "kdm". Mine had been set to "xdm". Set the DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_THEME to "SuSE"
You will also want to go to the Window manager and make sure that DEFAULT_WM is set to "kde".
One more item that I had to change was under Display Manager. I had to set KDM_SHUTDOWN to "all". This restored the options to reboot or halt the system in the Log out menu.

Ditto on the problem here. Brand new install of 9.3 - all things were OK until (presumably) I installed the nvidia drivers... Now I get XDM, no shutdown, and a popup on the KDE screen saying the nvidia driver module taints the kernel. Arg.

The report that the nvidia driver taints the kernel has been reported throughout all of the SuSE 9 series. However, you can, at least, use the features of the nVidia graphics adapter. The nv driver is marginal, at best. At the time that I purchased my dual-processor Athlon system, I should have insisted on having the vendor install the Matrox graphic adapter that I had specified. Matrox has, at least, provided developers with the needed technical details allow them to produce full-featured drivers for their product lines.

There's no such thing. It's either 'X', or 'X system' I take it you get FVWM or OLWM as windowmanager now.
I want to go back to starting with kde .
Revert the changes, i.e. take off the offending binaries and re-install the SuSE X rpms, or make a new ~/.xinitrc with 'exec startkde' as last line. Theo -- Theo v.
