     I installed KDE2 and then I killed the dtlogin processes and then
tried to run /opt/freeware/kde/bin/kdm.
     I didn't really want to fool around with the root xsessions and st=
uff
until I can experiment with it.

     Anyways, I tried with a user on the system and just adding the
kdmdesktop invocation in my $HOME/.xinitrc
     When I ran the xinit command, the screen sort of flashed went blan=
k
for a little while and then returned to the
     command-line login prompt again.

Thanks,

Patrick,

how did you try to start kdm? There are several options and I was
successful with two of them:
1. Choose "Command line login" from the dtlogin screen and then say "xi=
nit
-- -T". You need to have a custom $HOME/.xinitrc for that.
2. Change /etc/inittab as described in the README and reboot (the
/usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession file has to be replaced in this case, too).
Did you install KDE2 or the old one?

Let me know, if it still doesn't work.
