However, I saw mostly installation of yours were Minimal X + Trinity or you installed OpenSUSE with default desktop (KDE 4) then installed Trinity. Also, I think minimal installation without X causes some permission problems or something else to prevent opening kdm. Hence, when you did a minimal X installation, your system has tones of unnecessary packages like some ncurses applications of yast and with dependencies, bootsplash etc etc (for me of course). > > 1.

Hence, I looked at logs and there's no error about kdm or anything related with Trinity. After all, I think I'm going to choose Minimal X + Trinity installation and I'll inform you what I achieved.. Thanks for your answers. If someone will try minimal without X then install Xorg and try to install and run Trinity and in the end success to run, let me know. Sincerely, Eren
