Hi all:

Like the subject states, I'm having trouble with GDM. X starts just fine,
but then gives me a crappy gray screen and stays there (indefinitely). I would
like to switch my .Xinitrc or something to boot KDM or XDM, I don't care which.
I would prefer Kdm, simply because I only have a USB keyboard and therefore cannot
choose which OS to boot at the LILO prompt, and therefore must use KDM's shutdown
options. Thank you for your help, I'm sure there's a simple solution that I couldn't find
in the man pages.

If this looks bad, it's because I'm using lynx right now...(long story).

/etc/rc.d/rc.4
you can comment out the gdm section. this pushes to kdm. Not sure what lilo has to do with kdm but .....

Thank you very much for responding. I will test that right now...

Failed, somewhat...

KDM will load, but when I try to login as anyone but a root user, then it will "accept" the password, blank the screen, and return to the KDM main screen. Do my normal users not have access rights to X or something? How would I go about fixing this? Would it be better to just reinstall?
