startx works but kdm won't (videoram issue)
 

Like the topic says when I run a startx from console KDE comes up prefectly, but when I add:
"ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure"
to /etc/ttys X craps out. Going through the log I see:

But when I issuse a startx from console I get:

In addition I also see:
/kernel: nvidia0: rm_init_adapter() failed! in /var/log/messages

I'm assuming that this is after the xserver tries to start and is not the cause, maybe i'm wrong.

I have tried manually videoram to my X config file but this did not work aswell.
