kdm now uses themes as default, I think you have to remove that to be able to see the user icons.

Try this:

In the file:

"/etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc"

change the line:

"UseTheme=false"

to:

"UseTheme=true"

Give it a try...

About Nvidia, I have been running the latest, 7667, for a week now without any problems. Before that I used the 7174 for a long time.

What errors do you get when running " XFdrake --expert " ?

for Xorg.0.log:

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | more

in the console and look for lines starting with "(EE)"

do you get any errors in:

/var/log/Xorg.0.log

when you restart the xserver after changing screensize

KDM now uses themes in Mandriva.

In the file:

/etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc

change:

UseTheme=true

to:

UseTheme=false

It should apear in /mnt after a second or two

There should also popup an icon on the desktop

How much cached memory do you have?

Thats right. You need libstdc++.so.5 and you can find it in contrib.

Go to:

http://www.mandrivausers.org/easyurpmi/

and follow instructions to add contrib (and others)

then:

urpmi libstdc++5

in a konsole as root

try to type:

./thunderbird

in the folder.

In the file:

/etc/sysconfig/network

you can set:

HOSTNAME="to anything you want"

Works for me...
