OK, first of all I am definately a noob. Used Linux awhile back just to play then stopped for several years.
I have a clean install of OpenSUSE 11 on an old dell laptop with an external moniter attached. I have KDE3.5 and Gnome installed. I installed KDE 4.1.1 by 1-click. I boot fine and everything works except I have no sessions button on my log in screen or any other options normally there. I had the same software setup on my toshiba laptop and can switch sessions but it is packed and going back for a bios corruption (I cant tell where to crack open the case ) Am I just stuck with KDE 3.5 or is their a way to fix this? Any ideas are greatly appreciated!
According to yast2 I have the
kdebase4-session
as well as
kde4-kdm
and kde4-kdm-branding opensuse
all installed so still not sure whats up
As an FYI I also have gnome and can’t get to that either
Hi
So what is the setting in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager? You can always
set your DE via editing /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager or via the YaST
sysconfig editor.

OK don’t know what I did but it worked!! Restarted computer, as usual it asked me to specify a moniter resolution. I chose a different one than before and the log in appeared with options and sessions! Maybe it was the way the moniter was working???
Thanks everyone for the help! Now I know how to use the system config and back to working!!!
