Sorry if i am cross posting but the reason is that i the last post i was unable to address my problem properly..

my problem is that many a time when i want to shutdon the kde session i.e logoff kde and go to the shell prompt(i.e runlevel 3 i.e the default runlevel for Slackware) my keyboard and mouse hangs and nothing seems to help, not even pressing ctrl + alt + backspace.
So i have to simply press the reset button thereby resulting in an inappropriate shutdown.
I have used xorgconfig to configure X many times but nothing seeems to help.
is this a bug in KDE (i doubt so because i haven't seen a post addresssing this problem ever)?


Kindly help !!!

If remember correctly if you choose using X on slackware you have tty7 and tty8 for X and tty6 for console.

Try to use Alt+F6 or Ctr+Alt+F6.

As i have already said that both the keyboard and mouse hangs so the questions of thses keys working doens't arise(i have tried them already)
thanks anyway for your reply
but can some one solve this problem? is thre anyone facing a similar probelm because i have heard many a times that X crashes usually
help needed

cheers

Delete your '~/.kde' directory. (of course, save important stuff in there first).

How could deleting this directory solve the problem.Can you throw some light ?
And what do you mean that save importatnt data before deleting ?

that's the kde settings folder ... kde tends to mess it up once in a while ... try it, it's worked before, search the forum, you'll see.

If you don't trust me, just rename it to '.kde-crap' or something then restart kde.

Ok i'll try that thanks for helping
