    SOLVED - KDE 4.1

    I upgraded to 4.1 this week. While I was trying out some of the display settings my screen went black. I could see the cursor but nothing else. I had to reboot and log into KDE 3.

    How can I change the settings in KDE 4.1?
    Would it be possible to delete a file or folder and have the default loaded at login?

    Thanks

    I deleted the .kde4 folder; logged out; selected KDE4 for session type when logging in; everything worked!

      Wow -- it's hard to beat the self-teaching new user!

        I am currently having the same problem, I tried to remove the mentioned folder but I have a feeling I didn't remove it and messed up somewhere along the way because my screen is still black. If you could explain to me how to remove the folder correctly I would appreciate the help.

          1) ctrl+alt+F1
          2) login
          3) rm -fr .kde4
          4) reboot ( not stritly needed, but its the easiest way to restart kde if you dont know how to do it)

            If you'd prefer not to delete your whole .kde4 directory...

            I had this same problem (I think). It happened when I switched on the desktop effects for KWin in the System Settings. To fix it, I had to get to a console and edit
            '
            Code:
            vim ~/.kde4/share/config/kwinrc
            and change
            Code:
            [Compositing]
            Enabled=true
            to false.
