Chances are that the keyboard maps don't match ...

What does Option "XkbLayout"
say in your /etc/X11/XF86Config?


If it is the same as your actual country-code
it may be a SuSE security setting, but I'm not
too familiar with SuSE...



Cheers,
Tink

Hi Tink:

The line "XkbLayout" reads "es" which stands for spanish.

I have other 5 PCs in the network, and that line reads "es" as well, I reconfigured the keyboard to English to see if that would cause any good, but nothing different happened, root password is still being ignored, just in the KDE environment.

A buddy adviced me to try Rescue System.

Thanks anyway.

Mauricio

AFAIK, SuSE dosn't allow you to login as root into the GUI. You can change that, by changing your security setting from "Paranoid" to "Secure"

Hope that helps
