Another xorg grey screen

Hi, with the following I get to log in fine the only issue is that I get a grey screen with x cursor in the middle for around 10-15 seconds at log in before kde starts, everything is correct in /etc/rc.conf, I have the following config

Kernel 2.6.9-r1
xorg 6.7
ati-drivers (with 3d working fine)

I get the following in dmesg

Fire GL built-in AGP-support
Based on agpgart interface v0.99 (c) Jeff Hartmann
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 816M
agpgart: Unsupported Via chipset (device id: 3188), you might want to try agp_try_unsupported=1.
agpgart: no supported devices found.
[fglrx] AGP detected, AgpState = 0x1f000a1b (hardware caps of chipset)
agpgart: Found an AGP 3.0 compliant device at 0000:00:00.0.
agpgart: Putting AGP V3 device at 0000:00:00.0 into 8x mode
agpgart: Putting AGP V3 device at 0000:01:00.0 into 8x mode
[fglrx] AGP enabled, AgpCommand = 0x1f000312 (selected caps)
[fglrx] free AGP = 121909248
[fglrx] max AGP = 121909248
[fglrx] free LFB = 116387840
[fglrx] max LFB = 116387840
[fglrx] free Inv = 134217728
[fglrx] max Inv = 134217728
[fglrx] total Inv = 134217728
[fglrx] total TIM = 0
[fglrx] total FB = 0
[fglrx] total AGP = 32768

any ideas?

What Display Manager are you using? xdm, kdm, gdm? Check your /etc/rc.conf and look for DISPLAYMANAGER.

ok, I think it may be a kde issue, I took off the auto log in feature in kde and get the user and root log in splash screen, then when logging in it hangs for around 10 seconds, I must have updated a config file somewhere but not sure which one?

another thought, whenever I recompile my kernel, (just changed from vesfb-tng to vesafb it reboots no worries, then it changes back on second reboot with hang and then when rebooting there is a hang with lots of garbage on the screen (lines) is there some file where settings are saved to?

I have read some where about 4k stacks in the kernel with 6.8 and 6.9 kernels. Do you think this may be the issue
