I can enter startkde and get kde up and running nicely. So, I'm wandering the land of the missing config file. UDEV is also failing on me, and that seems to be pretty major. <sigh>

I haven't seen the earlier part of the thread,
but I "yum-upgraded" a laptop to FC5 a couple of days ago,
and X did not work because /etc/X11/xorg.conf
contained explicit FontPath's.
When I changed them to
FontPath "unix/:7100"
as on machines where I had installed FC5 cleanly
X ran fine.
What's strange is that I did yum upgrade, but now I'm having to yum install kde* and gnome* so there's is no telling what else I'm missing. yum upgrade smugly reports there is nothing else to install, the little blighter. I ran rpm --rebuilddb and that's when the lack of KDE became known to yum. But, it still insists that nothing is in need of update. You gotta love these little buggers, or you'd be taking an axe to 'em. <g> Thanks for the reply... very much. Ric
