Were you using the same kernel the last time you were running Gentoo? Perhaps some incompatibility? Perhaps, try emerging gpm to see if the mouse works on console. Or just cat /dev/input/mice and move the mouse around. ;-) Also try doing something in background while you launch kdm to confirm if it's a hard lockup. Perhaps "kdm& sleep 60; reboot"? Ahh, troubleshooting, eh? Just try to isolate the symptoms as much as possible. Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
