KDE problem on Mandriva 2007 Spring


Hello,

I have Mandriva 2007 Spring edition and I use KDE. Almost everytime I try to log out of my account, the XServer and KDE fail and shell comes up and I have to reboot the computer (or use startx) to load the XServer again.

Can anybody help me out?

Thanks

as root from the console, the command "service dm restart" should get X going again without doing a startx.

Beyond that, what do you mean that Xserver and KDE "fail"? What error messages are there? These might appear in a window on the screen, or in the console window, or in the file /var/log/messages, or not at all.

What version of KDE are you running; what version of Xorg? I ask this because there have been some updates since 2007.1 came out; are you up to date?

What video card? What video card driver? Have you had any abnormal events with your system that might have corrupted a library (lose power while writing to disk, for instance)?
