I recently started taking advantage of KDM, but I noticed when I started booting directly into runlevel 4, both xconfig and libdvdread stopped working. I have no idea why, and everything else works just great with KDM. I can boot the DVD, look at the contents of the drive, boot cd's (it's a combo CD-RW/DVD-ROM). Both libdvdead and xconfig work fine if I boot into a standard console and type "startx." Here are the details:
****I set up KDM by editing /etc/inittab and specifying 4 as the default runlevel. I then commented out the sections for GDM in /etc/rc.d/rc.4, leaving both the KDM and XDM entries uncommented (the script looks for KDM before XDM, so I figured that would be fine). I then made the script executable. I have not tried using XDM. I've never used XDM and I'm not sure what will happen.
****I'm running Slack 11.0, kept up to date with slapt-get tracking 11.0. Kernel 2.6.21.4 (though this problem happened using 2.6.21.3 and maybe a few more releases back). The machine is a Dell Inspiron 5150 (it's a real P.O.S, for the record) with a Pentium 4 and 512mb of memory.
****libdvdread returns this error after starting mplayer in console ("gmplayer"):

libdvdcss is installed (using Slackbuild script). Mplayer works fine (expect in this case), and was built using a Slackbuild script as well.
****xconfig returns this error when started in console:

I don't even know where to start to diagnose this. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
