Hi.

Iv started an installation of Debian Sarge. It works. Because of my early experiences I change the apt.conf, so e2fsprogs installed well without an error or break.

So far, so good: The installation worked well and closed. I only choose the Desktop to install.

But KDE wont start. First of it, X starts only with a creepy or black screen. I changed the xorg.conf, so it works now. I see an x-window with a shell, if I do "startx kde".

But I got only this shell. KDE wont start.

I recieved the following errors:

Using config file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
(WW) **** Invalid IO Allocation *** b:0xfe002000 e: 0xfe0020ff correcting
(EE) end ofg block range 0xfdffffff < begin 0xfe000000
The XKeyboard keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
>Warning: Type "One_Level" has 1 levels, but <RALT> has 2 symbols
Ignoring extra symbols
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the x server
Warning: font renderer for ".pcf" already registered at priority 0
(followed by nine lines with changes only between the "")
No absolute path found for shell: kde

I have a Radeon 7500 and 256MB-Ram in a Peg1/G3@600
My kernel is 2.4.27.

Hi!
The xorg.log you wrote shouldn't be the prob!
I have a similar output with a working displaymanager...
Instead of "startx kde"
you maybe should try
"startx /path/to/startkde"
Of course from a real terminal and not from the xterm within xorg!
Not sure what /path/to/ is on debian, maybe simply /usr/bin or /usr/kde...

Good luck so far
