Might be on to something there. I just changed the DISPLAYMANAGER to xdm and Xsession to xsession. That gave me a sort-of desktop, although I think there's some tweaking necessary on the mouse - it wasn't working correctly.
I'll go ahead and emerge kde, make the appropriate changes in rc.conf and see if that helps. Thanks for the ideas! I'll drop back in after a while when kde finishes installing :-) On 8/18/05, Etaoin Shrdlu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 21:01, giovedì 18 agosto 2005, Mark wrote: > > > the same result: namely when I type startx, I see the NVidia splash > > screen, and then nothing but a white X cursor on all black > > background.
