after issuing init 3, startx will start kde, but init 5 returns the same result.
Perhaps it is a display manager issue. [gkx]dm does not run in runlevel 3, but does in 5.
Should I change the display manager from kdm to xdm or ?? and try 'init 3', 'init 5' again? Or should I reinstall kdm, can I? I am grasping at straws here <grin>.
If you do that, and the problem does not go away, than it is at least not specific to 1 display manager.
BTW, try 'startx', followed by 'startx -- :1' from another console. I like to know if you can run two instances at the same time. My guess is 'no'.
You are correct. See other post in this thread (answering Anders). I just rebooted after changing parallel yes to no and changing from auto-logon to not. The 'welcome' screen shows and X hangs right there. I suppose it is doing the same thing that it did with the auto-logon but doesn't display the 'welcome' screen. Tried again 'startx -- :1', with same errors reported previous.
