I may have had the same problem a week ago. X would start, kdm would let me log in, but just about when the kde desktop would finish loading kde would quit back to kdm. Couldn't find any hint in /var/log. Started backing out various things ended up getting the system working again by masking hal 0.5.11: # cat /etc/portage/package.mask/monolithic =sys-fs/encfs-1.4.2 ~sys-apps/hal-0.5.11 =media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p27725 At the time I was suspecting that hal 0.5.11 was requiring evdev (which with 20+ hours of unsuccessfully trying to get it to work over the last year, I wouldn't be surprised if it's the culprit). Haven't had time to dig further. HTH, Roy
