After running Caldera linux (happily) for several years, I tried to update the kernel of my system. Really bad plan.

I now have gentoo running on an athlon XP system. I can get into the X system and most things appear to be running. I need help with a few things;

How do I get sound? I have a SB Live! 5.1 and have alsa loaded. I tried loading emu10k1 but get an error (unresolved external) [If I could find more detail I would report it.]

How do I get the system to come up in the graphical login? I have Gnome working but I would like to get kde up instead. Can I select that from a graphical login prompt?

How do I get drivers for the cups printing system? I have a tektronix 740L color laser printer and none of the drivers packaged with cups give me color. (The HP postscript driver works with the printer in BW only.)

I am sure this is just the beginning of a wonderful learning experience. I am now learning just how much my kids would like to use the system so any help would be gratefully received.
