[Lilux-help] KDM startup problems

[Mike Pressel]

Can anyone give me some advice on how to begin debugging a KDM startup 
problem?  

Whenever I turn on my PC, it boots normally, starts X successfully, and then 
TRIES to start KDM.  It hangs just after it changes the curser to a watch, 
but still leaving the ugly grey X background.  

If I switch to another VTY, and change the run level to a non graphical level, 
then change it back again, KDM works perfectly.  Likewise, if I do a ps -A 
and kill the first instance of kdm, it starts up without further problems.  
After it has successfully started up, I never have any further problems with 
it.

The only changes that I have made to the system is to install the debian 
version of Grub.  I am running SuSE 8.2, but have upgraded kde to 3.2.
