I have also created (in /root) an .xinitrc with startkde in it as mentioned in a previous post last night. When I reboot the computer, I now get a slightly different version of twm but no kde. I can invoke some kde programs such as kwrite, khexedit and all their widgets are rendering, so I think I am very close, but not quite able to get kde to startup in Gentoo yet. Some suggestions on areas to look would be appreciated. Charles Krinke -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
