<http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29223> already noted. I had the same problem and took the trouble to check bugzilla and add my comment... you need to emerge both libart_lgpl and fam-oss then it "just works (tm)" :) What I would like to see on future GRP ebuilds of KDE would be the gentoo icons and wallpapers etc. added to the ebuild and set up so that they are the defaults. ie. a themed splashscreen, KDM wallpaper and default stuff al la SuSE... and better instructions on getting the nice framebuffer bootsplashes running. I sucessfully got the thing going on an old box for playing with... now I'm going to do it properly on my big P4 box rather than put SuSE 9 on it. Paul Cooke -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
