Hi,
I'm pulling my hair out. I've been at it all f***ing day!
Reinstalled gentoo several times today. My problem is with
gentoo+kde+nvidia. This is the 3rd major attempt at installing
gentoo (1st time was back in the 1.4_rc2 days with my laptop with
VIA samuel CPU, everything was compiled for i686 and wouldn't boot;
2nd time was in a vmware virtual client running on W2k; 3rd time is
today). I have previous experience with Linux since '95 - Slackware
- and lately with SuSE.
Current situation: I have gentoo running gentoo-sources kernel
working fine. Installed X and nvidia glx+kernel and tried startx:
worked fine. Did an emerge -k kde (installed from CD2), worked
fine. Then tried to run kdm and it doesn't give me the login
screen; the nvidia splash screen flashes a few times and I return
to the # prompt. What am I doing wrong? Any advice before I pop the
SuSE DVD back in is appreciated.
Cheers!
Chris

The first thing to do is look at /var/log/XFree86.0.log. Either cat
the wole thing or do:
cat /var/log/XFree86.0.log | grep (EE)
The latter will just print out the errors to the screen.
This should give you enough info to fix it. If not, post that output
back here.
