This is happening because /etc/X11/prefdm reads /etc/sysconfig/desktop to see what your preferred desktop is (GNOME or KDE mostly) and starts the relevant display (login) manager - you are probably seeing kdm because your default desktop is now KDE. Change /etc/sysconfig/desktop to GNOME and your should get gdm back... Alternatively you can change the line in /etc/inittab which says x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon to x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/gdm -nodaemon > > Mark -- Stuart Sears RHCE, RHCX, RTFM, ASAP If at first you don't succeed, you're doing about average. -- Leonard Levinson
