I installed glibc-2.2.5 and gcc-3.0.4 on my Redhat 6.2 system so I could use the XFree86 4.2.0 binaries to do my upgrade. I am running KDE desktop 1.1.2. The XFree86 install seemed to go fine as did the following run of xf86config. During the install of XFree86 4.2.0 I was asked if I wanted to overwrite the previous config files such as app-defaults, fs, xdm, etc. The documenttion said that if I hadn't customized any of these files it would be OK to answer "Y" to all these overwrite questions, so I did. Of course, I guess that installing a desktop such as KDE or GNOME could be considered as a customization. At any rate, when I rebooted following the run of xf86config I was presented with the KDE login screen (sans blue background) and typed in my username and password. The screen blanked for a second and then returned me to the login screen. Does anyone know what is happening here? Can anyone help? Thanks, Jeff Stephens
