Hi Bob and welcome to Gentoo, Which graphic desktop you have installed? If its plain X server (i.e., xorg-x11) then you'll get a very basic desktop, which you obviously dont want. If you installed kde, then probaby you've not modified your .xinitrc file. Execute this command from from console, echo "exec startkde" > ~/.xinitrc next time you execute 'startx', kde will startup. for GNOME, execute this command first echo "exec gnome-session" > ~/.xinitrc then startx will bring gnome up. For more info on other desktop's checkout the Gentoo docs at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/list.xml Hope this helps, Farhan Ahmed -- Place : Bangalore, Karnataka, India GPG Key : 8BE90E98 Skype ID : farhanahmed06 IRC Nick : farhanahmed / farhanahmed06 (irc.freenode.net)
