Listmates,
After the kernel update, my kdm3 is crashing with each user logout. Basically, on logout you are dumped back to tty1 and must then login and issue kdm3 restart to restore the display manager. I am using the radeonhd driver. Before the latest update this didn't occur. What can I check to get information to help solve this puzzle?
I've checked /var/log/messages.log and Xorg.0.log, but nothing is out of the ordinary. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have a look at /var/log/kdm.log and/or ~/.xsession-errors (before relogin).
You can try to add:
TerminateServer=true
to the [X-*-Core] section of /opt/kde/share/config/kdm/kdmrc
I need(ed) that line because of similar problems.
Alessandro, I think the new kernel and vesafb is the problem.
