Hi Ed,

Oops.  F23->F25.

    /etc/systemd/system/default.target ->

dnf install sddm
    Package sddm-0.14.0-6.fc25.x86_64 is already installed, skipping.

Hi Suomi,

> try:    mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.orig; startx

ls /etc/Xll

    total 32
    4 applnk/      4 mwm/  4 xinit/   4 xorg.conf.d/
    4 fontpath.d/  4 xdm/  4 Xmodmap  4 Xresources

I don't have an xorg.conf file.  

Some poking around on the web led to:

    http://www.systutorials.com/qa/1692/how-to-change-the-display-manager-on-fe
dora-linux

Which suggested 

    dnf install system-switch-displaymanager system-switch-displaymanager-gnome

Followed by running system-switch-displaymanager.  After that I get

     ll /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service 
     
	 0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 35 Dec 21 11:40
	 /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service ->
	 /usr/lib/systemd/system/kdm.service

I'll reboot now.  If you don't hear back from, then no news is good news.

Thanks!
