I have gotten my first Gentoo system up to the KDE stage and can now emerge from an X-Windows terminal, so I'm going for kdevelop and a few others next.

[gentoo-user] startx kde
Thank you for the help on keepwork. Next question. My computer has spend the day emerging kde. The function 'startx' does work with 'twm'. So, I can test kde before changing /etc/X11/initrc/xinitrc from 'twm ' to 'kde , what is a good way to do that? Charles -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

If you kde is screwed, ctrl+alt+f2/3/4/5/6, login and nuke it. If you can't login locally, remote login, and nuke you kde session. HTH. -- Joe -- Money can't buy everything.

When I run 'startx' with ctrl+alt-f2, I get twm right now, no problem. If I then ctrl-alt-f1 back to the emerge I'm running, when I ctrl-alt-f2 a second time, I can see that X has died due to an error with a missing /dev/fb0, i.e. no frame buffer. What should I do to correct this? Charles -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] startx kde
Read the Fine Manual set the DISPLAYMANAGER=kdm line in /etc/rc.conf then rc-update add xdm boot /etc/init.d/xdm start On Fri, 2005-05-20 at 19:09 -0700, cfk wrote: Thank you for the help on keepwork.
