It sounds like you may have changed the display manager to gdm instead of kdm or mdkkdm.

Check to see what it is set to in /etc/X11/

i type kde at the shell prompt and i had this error:

Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
at least one device section is required
(EE) Problem parsing the config file
(EE)Error parsing the config file
Fatal server error :
so screen found

Then i view the the content of /etc/X11/xorg.conf by typing "less /etc/X11/xorg.conf " but there nothing in the xorg.conf and also there is nothing in the "XF86Config" file
plz help !!!!!!!!!

On the text console ( [CTRL][ALT][F1] ) log in as root.

Then type

service dm stop

It should respond with OK

Now type

XFDrake


And configure your X windows display and mouse.

TEST whatever you try, and make sure you see the rainbow test screen before you exit and save.

Then

service dm start
