Hello List Members, I decided to install C7 KDE on a workstation for a friend of mine. Works great, but the post-boot KDE splash screen (light blue and has 3 or more up ^ arrows that move from the lower center upwards) is a bit of a frustration for that person. I've determined that one can press the Escape key and move from that bluish splash to the login screen. (And at one point rolling the wheel on the mouse worked too, but didn't consistently cause the transition from splash to login screen.) At this point I think it's more ideal to just disable the splash screen and instead have the system go straight to the login screen (where user names are listed). Can that be done? Here's to hoping a KDE user or two on this list knows a solution. ;-) Thanks! -- ---~~.~~--- Mike // SilverTip257 //

I'm typing this on a C7 laptop under KDE, but I still use GDM as display manager - and I don't see that splash screen you describe (though I may have configured it away, I can't remember). Which DM are you using?
