Ok, I do not know what it is called. I'm running kde-meta 4.3.3
It's the kde screen where you put your login and passwd.
It flashes for a second or 2, like the passwd is accepted, but
kde cannot start. 


If I do not auto start kdm via rc-update, then I can log in as a user
and X starts (twm?).

I can also ssh into the system so the user passwd is ok.

Maybe a keyboard error? I have ran this several times:
emerge -D1 $(qlist -I -C x11-drivers)

No xorg.conf file in use:
x11-base/xorg-x11-7.4-r1
x11-base/xorg-server-1.6.5-r1
ati-driver-9.11
linux-2.6.31-gentoo-r5


Ideas?
