Description Andrés Becerra 2008-12-05 04:30:37 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 3.5.10)
Compiler:          gcc-4.3.2  
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

kdm starts correctly always. The problem comes when I log out, kdm crashes and
I have to log in the text console and restart the kdm service.

My video card is a sis, this is the lspci output:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter


And this is the message I get in /var/log/xdm.log (In gentoo this is the login manager logfile):


xdm error (pid 2791): Display :0 is being disabled

Fatal server error:

that's a driver problem and kde cannot do anything about it.
you might try the TerminateServer option in kdmrc to work around it.
