Well, I'm not sure of your KDE versus /dev/dsp issues, so I'll remind you about checking rc.conf. It change a while back, but mine still has these settings: DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm" SESSION="kde-3.4.1" The system boots into KDE just fine. I'm not sure if the SESSION setting in rc.conf is deprecated now or not.... Before running 'env-update && source /etc/profile && etc-update' I look at the proposed list of updates to config files that etc-update wants to perform. If I have a question about the files to be updated, I make a backup of the file with the current date appended. That way, you can recover config files or look at them over time to see how they have changed. /etc/rc.conf is a good example.... HTH, James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
