If not then try:- /etc/init.d/kdm stop apt-get --purge remove kdm apt-get install kdm /etc/init.d/kdm restart Once you've got a desktop you can attempt to sort out the 3D driver problem. Many of the files at www.kanotix.org/files are out of date and Kano doesn't recommend you use them. I changed my Kanotix installation to Sidux because most of the knowledgeable people have moved to Sidux and in consequence postings to the Kanotix forums has become sparse. You should be able to get all the help you need at Sidux. The Compiz stuff is still alpha for Debian based distros so expect this sort problem to crop up fairly frequently until it becomes mainstream.
