Bug#524751: kdm: KDM 4.2.2 X server startup timeout, terminating
Daniel Pittman
the NVIDIA binary driver is to blame, as it is very slow to start up.
To resolve the problem I set in /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc:
[X-*-Core]
ServerTimeout=120
That gives the server time to start up even though the NVIDIA driver is awful,
and everything seems to be stable. Before that it would consistently time out
even without any other settings.
Below is the information from a normal bug report.
Regards,
Daniel
