Having trouble starting KDE
I am using Gentoo have emerged and configured X11 which comes up with startx and I just emerged KDE.
After issuing: echo "exec startkde" > ~/.xinitrc
And editing the /etc/rc.conf file with: DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm"
And: rc-update add xdm default
startx does not start KDE and only an x session - I get this error at bootup for XDM:
Error could not start Display Manager... xdm: no process killed
Any ideas?
