hi, thanks for your help. I tried that out but it didn't work. To know the problem in more detail, goto http://www.techspot.com/vb/all/windows/t-36439-Cant-get-KDE-to-start-after- login-screen.html
My problem is exactly same as given on this web page and I got similar log messages in Xorg.0.log file also.
So you can start an X server ( X :1& works from the text console ) but you can't start KDE from it. Nor can you start KDE by hand with startx as I suggested. Can you start KDE as suggested by the third post by 'Nodsu' on that page? $ X :1& $ export DISPLAY=:1 $ startkde If not, what is the output of startkde at the terminal? Can you start KDE as a different user? If so, something in your root's KDE config is broken. If not, most likely your KDE packages are messed up, did you upgrade them recently? Will
