I can give it a try.... Actually, I say I use KDM (since it is the current default choice in Yast), but I normally log in via the console.

Does the 2.4.5 kernel solve the long-outstanding problems with using KDM and the NVidia drivers?

The problems are that the machine sometimes soft locks, and sometimes hard locks (ie. keyboard/mouse/video stop responding, but sometimes you can log in remotely and do a soft reboot). How I get this condition is to log into KDM from a fresh reboot, move a few windows around (do a few little things), and then log out of KDE. Then log back in via KDM, and then press ctrl-alt-F1, to go to a virtual terminal. Sometimes it doesn't happen right away, but usually after a few times of doing this, I'll get a weird colored screen, and I'll see the X mouse pointer in the middle, but moving the mouse will not move it. The keyboard becomes locked up (numlock/capslock keys do not affect the lights) and I have to reboot in order to recover. Can you get this to happen? Thanks, Steven
