Description Tadas 2009-06-05 18:58:34 UTC

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login to KDE
2.
3.

Same for me here. Really strange since I even tried to downgrade to 4.2.3, but still the same error, no matter whether I use kdeprefix or not.

Tracked down that this is related to video drivers. Seems that kdm crashes before login, and after crash, X server is started again, and I have to relogin, but this time there is only software rendering. Everything works fine with xdm.

Need More Info. Video drivers, backtrace of kdm, .xsession-errors, everything.
"Stuff crashes" is unfortunately not enough to diagnose a problem.
