Hi, I'm pulling my hair out. I've been at it all f***ing day! Reinstalled gentoo several times today. My problem is with gentoo+kde+nvidia. This is the 3rd major attempt at installing gentoo (1st time was back in the 1.4_rc2 days with my laptop with VIA samuel CPU, everything was compiled for i686 and wouldn't boot; 2nd time was in a vmware virtual client running on W2k; 3rd time is today). I have previous experience with Linux since '95 - Slackware - and lately with SuSE.
Current situation: I have gentoo running gentoo-sources kernel working fine. Installed X and nvidia glx+kernel and tried startx: worked fine. Did an emerge -k kde (installed from CD2), worked fine. Then tried to run kdm and it doesn't give me the login screen; the nvidia splash screen flashes a few times and I return to the # prompt. What am I doing wrong? Any advice before I pop the SuSE DVD back in is appreciated. Cheers! Chris -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
