I just compiled Kernel 2.6.8.1 (Vanilla) and fixed subfs. I can live without 'splash', but not without X/KDE or the NVIDIA driver. The NVIDIA Driver won't recompile (I use 1.0-6111); saying it has no precompiled kernel interface. KDM won't even start. I use SuSE 9.1. Any ideas?

I had similar experience with KDM when I compiled my own kernel 2.6.8.1. KDE would consistently crash after boot. I switched to XDM

Oops, I meant KDM would consistently crash after boot. I could launch KDE fine from XDM and KDE worked fine.

(plain but works) and XDM worked fine.

In /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager, change to xdm as follows:

DISPLAYMANAGER="xdm"

YMMV. Osho
