[KDE4.1.3]: No graphic login ... KDE3 works

[Wilson, Richard E]

Something very similar happened to me recently and I "fixed" it by
starting a GNOME session and renaming my .kde directory (to
.kde_backup).  It was simpler for me to recreate my personal settings
than to try and pull individual files out of the .kde_backup directory.
In my case the cause was some screen resolution issues -- an application
made my screen go to 800x600 and KDE wouldn't let me change it higher.
I overrode it with the screen config utility system-config-display and
got it back to 1280x1024 (which is what it's supposed to be) and it
worked.  The screen black issue appeared with my next login.

HTH,

Howdy friends,

Fired up my machine after work today ... at login I put in my name and
pw. 
KDE4 starts (I can see the splash screen) and at a certain point the
screen 
goes black and I am back at login.
>From konsole I can do a startx as user and I can start a KDE3 session. I
have 
no idea what might have happened between shutdown this morning and
startup 
tonite. I think I have read something abouit the returning to the login 
screen, but I can't find it anymore and google isn't of real help ...

Any ideas?
-- 
Talk to you later ... Hans (241 to go)
