[SOLVED] 2 problems with KDM

Hi!
I have 2 arch systems and 2 problems with kdm.

1. On eeepc 1000h machine I have 2 black stripes on the left and right side of the screen, but the resolution is good (1024x600). My xorg.conf:

# **********************************************************************
# Module section -- this  section  is used to specify
# which dynamically loadable modules to load.
# **********************************************************************

Section "Module"
    Load "glx"
    Load "dri"
    Load "drm"
EndSection


# **********************************************************************
# Files section.  This allows default font and rgb paths to be set
# **********************************************************************

Section "Files"
    FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc"
    FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/TTF"
    FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/Type1"
EndSection


# **********************************************************************
# Monitor section
# **********************************************************************

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "LCD Panel"
EndSection


# **********************************************************************
# Graphics device section
# **********************************************************************

Section "Device"
    Identifier "Intel Integrated"
    Driver "intel"
    
    Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
EndSection


# **********************************************************************
# Screen sections
# **********************************************************************

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Default"
    Device "Intel Integrated"
    Monitor "LCD Panel"
    DefaultDepth 24

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth 8
        Modes "1024x600"
        ViewPort 0 0
    EndSubsection

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth 16
        Modes "1024x600"
        ViewPort 0 0
    EndSubsection

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth 24
        Modes "1024x600"
        ViewPort 0 0
    EndSubsection
EndSection


# **********************************************************************
# ServerLayout sections.
# **********************************************************************

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier  "Simple Layout"
    Screen "Default"
EndSection

2. On machine with ATI card after clicking logout I get dumped to console VC/1. I know this problem exists with fglrx and the same solution works, but does anyone experience the same problem with xf86-video-ati driver?

Cheers

Re: [SOLVED] 2 problems with KDM

2. By me this problem isn't exist with fglrx. What's in your Xorg log, error log, syslog ? Can it work with other drivers ? If you start this session from terminal what's written out to stdout of vc ?

This isn't fglrx but simply radeon driver. There are no errors in Xorg.log or daemons.log (beside that it shows that kdm cannot be started on screen :0). When I am out in console ps aux indicates that kdm is still running.

Marking as SOLVED. It seems that kdm just didn't like xorg.conf without ServerFlags section. 
Solved by acciednt, huh
