Dear tapsa, Dear All
regarding the /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45xsession file, do you know where used and why, especially in case of full Hard Disk installation?
It is strange but if I removed the file, the KDE can started but I loss the screen resolution, it is not possible to get 1280x1024 (I got 1024x76. If I put back the 45xsession and ofcourse I restart the kdm (/etc/init,d/kdm restart) I have back my good 1280x1024 resolution...
Strange e?...
Please is there somebody that can help me to get rid of the 45xsession file???

Best Regards,
Mike Kranidis

You should NOT have 45xsession after hd installation. It is used ONLY in liveCD sto start window managers. After hd installation you usually have KDM where you login to X and KDE. Of course you can enable AutoLogin from /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc, too.

But your problem. What happens to other usernames? Does same problem exist in them, too? If not, your problem is with /home/user_name or in /tmp permissions or settings. Perhaps renaming /home/user_name/.kde to something else and copying new KDE settings from /etc/skel/.kde helps (cp -rp /etc/skel/.kde /home/user_name/.kde and chown -R user_name:group_name /home/user_name/.kde). Be sure that owner of /tmp, /tmp/.ICE-unix and /tmp/.X11-unix is root and permissions are 1777 (use command la to check this):

drwxrwxrwt  2 root  root   112 2006-09-10 17:06 .ICE-unix
drwxrwxrwt  2 root  root    72 2006-09-10 17:06 .X11-unix

On thing more: What options are available ins /etc/X11/xorg.conf in Section "Screen"?. I think that Knoppix liveCD uses Knoppix specific /usr/sbin/mkxorgconfig file to build xorg.conf file.

Dear tapsa,

from the beginning (since 2004) this knoppix hard disk installation (Debian like) uses 45xsession although I use kdm as login manager (normally started from /etc/init.d/kdm start) I don't know why. If I remove it, then, it is possible to have kde running (first kdm at 1280x1024 and then kde at 1024x768!!!) but with screen resolution funny problems!!!
I will check all these that you wrote to me (many thanks) and I will let you know.
It is common now, always I suffer from strange problems tho...

Best Regards,

SOLVED!
The problem related with the KDE screen resolution it was related to a kde program that sets kde resolution and by mistake had set 1024x768.

Now all working fine AND without 45xsession.

Mr. tapsa again many thanks.
