On an old box, which rarely gets much attention since it usually "just works". It's my fault, no doubt. I looked at the sources.list before I ran the dist-upgrade, but it completely slipped my mind that the "testing" that was on the box was still etch, and I should have changed "testing" to "stable". I didn't, so now it's lenny.
Now, kdm opens the login screen, apparently at the maximum resolution of the monitor (1600x1200), but the video signal stops as soon as I log in. It blackscreens, then kdm reloads the login screen. I checked the xorg.conf file and tweaked settings, ran dpkg-reconfigure on it, and even tried running it with the old config file. There aren't any glaring errors from the driver in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and the only error reported is: (EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable The video card is: 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: 3Dfx Interactive, Inc. Voodoo 3 (rev 01) using the tdfx driver. This is correct. The config sets it up to run at 1280x1024 24-bit depth, which is also correct. The monitor is a Viewsonic GT775. I have never seen kdm successfully display a login screen when X wouldn't open a session. In my experience, if there's a bad X problem, kdm doesn't work either.
