Half way there, thanks! But here's what I've got now...

Alrightie then! I put...

  /usr/X11R6/bin/kdm 
  
...at the end of /rc.local. Then I rebooted. 

And, it went to X with a login gadget...which is cool.

But I can't login as me. I can only login as root. 

When I login as me, the screen goes berserk for about one 
second, and then settles down and the login gadget comes 
back again.

Then, if I login as root, it goes to the KDE screen just 
fine. But then I am in root; which is not good. Right?

As me, I am privleged to su and become root-like while 
staying me. But I can't do that till after I login. 
So...hm! What to do?

Anybody care to clue in this newbie???

Thanks in advance.
