At the meeting last Thursday, I asked about a problem I'm having with
KDE desktop, and Tim mentioned I should run 'tail -f /var/log/messages'
in another terminal while loading KDE.
Description of problem: KDE starts to load, tells me it's checking
peripherals, and then the screen goes black. Ctrl-alt-back kills the
xserver and gets me out. In running the tail, I discovered that KDE
really is runnning OK, but I have to switch to another virtual console
(alt-F2) and then ctrl-alt-F7 will get me to the kde desktop.
I get error messages from modprobe while kde is loading. It's looking
for sound-slot-1, which I think is odd, because modules.conf doesn't say
anything about a sound-slot-1. I only have one sound card, and it's at
sound-slot-0. I tried turning off the sound server in the kde control
center, and that didn't help.
I also get gpm error messages when I go in an out of an x-session.
Changing GPM_PARAMS in /etc/rc.config to the correct type of mouse
helped get rid of flaky mouse behavior in console, but the error
messages continue.
Below are the messages. Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg
