kdm won't start after xorg7 upgrade

I can run startx and things startup okay (except no background color in icewm on desktop), but I can't get kdm to start.  My /etc/inittab is configured correctly and hasn't changed. 

Any ideas?

Re: kdm won't start after xorg7 upgrade

Did you upgrade to KDE 3.5.1 at the same time as upgrading to Xorg 7? Maybe try a different mirror if your present mirror hasn't been updated yet with the new KDE version, that should fix your KDM problem.
A temporary solution could be to make a symlink pointing from /usr/X11R6/bin/X to /usr/bin/X (ln -sf /usr/bin/X /usr/X11R6/bin/X , remember to create the /bin directory in X11R6 if it isn't there)

That is exactly what happened.  I changed my mirror, updated and now everything works great. 

Thanks you!
