Ah ha! GREAT suggestion. I didn't even know that there was a setup utility like this for KDM.

Okay, I ran kxconfig and it seemed to have found everything okay.

Video Card: NVidia Riva TNT (actually, it's a Diamond Viper V330, which is a Nvidia Riva 128 chipset)
Monitor: Envision monitor that I'm using
Keyboard: found it
Mouse: well, it's telling me that my PS2 mouse is USB, but it works!

I beleive everything autodetected just fine.

But, you got me thinking! I took a look at the KDM error log, and found that in addition to the "no screens found" error, that it was saying that it couldn't start in 16 bit resolution. So, I used kxconfig to change my resolution to 24 bit, and guess what?

IT'S WORKING!!! Just finished rebooting, as I had initially set it to 640x480 resolution mode, which stinks. It's now loaded up and running like a champ in 1024x768, which is about the maximum capability of my monitor.

THANKS MUCH!
