Can't get x org kde to work when installing Noodle on my lap

Hi

After a lot of problems trying to upgrade my laptop to kde 3.4 I decided to make a new install.

I copied the /etc to safe place (/home/etc ; different partition)
Then I made a new install using the iso-burned Noodle.

Everything worked BUT X!

I have tried to use hwd -x, hwd -xa, mkcfg, and other tools and everything looked nice but it will not work. For some time I had x to start but never kde. And now neither of them will start.

Any hints? My laptop is Amilo Pro 2000. With Wombat I didn't need to make anything to get x work. It just worked all right from the very beginning. But I am not fond of the idea to reinstall wombat and then make an update and change to udf, get rid of hotplug etc, etc.

regards,

/Nahoj

any log files, command line outputs and xorg version would be usefull as it is not quite clear what you're trying to do

Re: Can't get x org kde to work when installing Noodle on my lap

well, now it somehow works...

I have allways had startx as startcommand for the graphical login but now I need to use kdm. I don't know why.

What more: It is not possible to add kdm in the end of /etc/rc.local and that way get it to start at boot up. Now I need to log in in textmode and then write kdm <enter>

I'm a bit confused but it works at least. And the wireless card works too. And boot up is a bit faster than before too.

If you add kdm to your daemons line in /etc/rc.conf it will start kdm at boot.
here is my daemons line:

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !hotplug !pcmcia dbus hal kdm cups webmin autofs hwd network
netfs crond)
