</I>><i> So the next step is to see where the rest of the errors come from.

</I>><i> 1. What display manager are you using? I'm guessing KDM. If so what

</I>><i>
</I>><i> I'm pretty sure it's KDM that failing and subsequently bringing X

</I>kdm.log was >5000 lines and full of identical lines, so I mv'd it. The
attached is a clean kdm.log. Those 29 lines have the answer :-)
