smp - Super Multiple Processors (or something like that.. ) I have two cpus. The 'Terminal' problem I don't see. But I'm using Gnome instead of KDE. There is a configuration parameter that says that you cannot log in (remotely) as root if it is turned on. You must log in as a regular user and then 'su' or 'su -' to root. Maybe that is what you are seeing. If you start X as root, there are other problems too. Better to start 'X' when you are logged in as a regular user. The 'cmd has white space' - maybe the line in the file that starts up 'Terminal' has a typo - a space where it shouldn't? Your full-screen bug - can you grab the lower right corner of the TV window and resize it? If you click on the full window icon at the upper right of the TV window - does it resize to full screen? Whether it does or not would be a clue as to where your problem is. You could also try Gnome and see if the problem is there too.
