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!

Since this is pre-login, it's the display manager's splash screen, not the desktop environment's. 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?

The DM ends up being GDM (stock from a LiveDVD install). Thoughts?
Thanks,

Update: So on initial boot I'm seeing that the login list is shown. Once the display is idle, the bluish splash [0] (with the time in large numbers) is then present when the display is woke again.
So far perusing the gdm.conf and some GDM config setting documentation hasn't yielded me any good leads.
Still searching for a solution. Thanks for any suggestions.

It is not a splash screen , it is a timeout screen saver
Press the enter key (that brings up the login screen) or login when the machine first boots.

True enough, I did notice that post-boot it didn't show up until after the machine went idle.
Press the enter key (that brings up the login screen) or login when the machine first boots.
Thanks.
Any idea if the timeout screensaver can be disabled?
(Or maybe not worth the bother.?) Though [0] and [1] may be a solution which I'll try later today.
