Can you tell if you are running kdm or gdm?

ps ax|grep kdm

I can't cut and paste right now, so this is truncated, but if you want
me to get more details from any specific line, I can:

ps ax|grep kdm
2173	tty2	St	0:00 grep --color=auto kdm

ps ax|grep gdm
1131?		Ss1 	0:00	/usr/sbw/gdm-binary -nodaemon
1226?		S1	0:00	/usr/libexec/gdm-simple-slave
1269	tty1	Sst	0:02
1524?		S1	0:00
2175	tty2	St

all those lines in the second group after the second had long file
location strings like the first two, but much longer - if they are
needed I can copy them over


You are running gdm which is probably trying to log in to Gnome automatically.

1. Do you have kdm installed?

   rpm -q kdm


2. If not, install it.

   yum install kdm


3. Prevent gdm from loading on boot by either:


Adding to /modifying /etc/sysconfig/desktop so it contains these two lines:

   DESKTOP="KDE"
   DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE"


  or:


  yum remove gdm
