KDE wont startup

nmares · 10-19-2004, 12:38 AM

G'day
I just downloaded Debian 3.0 and installed it. I am having a problem getting KDE to work properly though. I can successfully login using the gnome login manager an the KDE login manager. KDE starts to run... the status gets up to initialising peripherals and then X seems to crash and the login screen is dsiaplyed again... I can login using Gnome but I do not want to use Gnome because I am accustomed to using KDE.
Im clueless about what to do.
Thanks for your help.

Nathan

what do u use xfree86 or xorg ???

check the logs and paste them if u can... coz we have no idea what is going wrong... from what ever info u've given us..

check ur /var/log folder there should be something like xfree86 or Xorg.log

(EE) indicates errors...

what kernel version are u using????

in 2.6 kernel i believe the mouse is --->/dev/mouse

back up ur the present Xfree86 config file [ it is called /etc/X11/XF86Config or /usr/X11R6/etc/X11/XF86Config].

go to this link [ 5.4.2 Configuring X11] --->http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO.../x-config.html
