kdmgreet sigsegv crash on startup

I purchase a "new" computer and moved my disk to it. I've been changing the kernel to support the different hardware including a ati 3d rage pro video adaptor. kernel is 2.6.11.7 kde is 3.4 xfree86 is 4.5.0

When /etc/init.d/kdm start executes, KDM crashes in KDMGREET with a sigsegv

I can start a KDE session using the command startx from a shell prompt.

Attached is kdm.log with lots of debug info.

RE: kdmgreet sigsegv crash on startup

It looks like the problem is here:

Quoted

Apr 25 21:38:41 kdm_greet[4533] error: Can't open default user face
QImage::convertDepth: Image is a null image
QImage::smoothScale: Image is a null image
Apr 25 21:38:41 kdm_greet[4533] debug: GreeterPlugin classic (Username + password (classic)) loaded
KCrash: Application 'kdmgreet' crashing...

Check those user icons.

Right you are! It turns out that I had accidently reinstalled kdm 3.3 when I needed kdm 3.4 to run with kde 3.4. Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction.
