A question I recently posted in #gentoo on freenode (issue still unresolved, hence this post):

Quote:
okay, i've been happily tinkering around for the last 30mins trying to solve this problem (an x86 stage3+GRP, emerge kde'd system): startx -> default window manager loads with "console" message: "Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation." Mind you, I've already set 'XSESSION=kde-3.1.1' rc.conf (... sidenote: if i set XSESSION="kde", twm loads up WITHOUT said error message). i've tried forums.gentoo.org. could anyone please help a lost gn2r?


Also, I can't "emerge kdm". I was under the impressing that it would have been installed during my "emerge -k kde".

So basically, I'm still stuck.... do you know the answer? If so, could you post? Thanks.

You cannot 'emerge kdm' because kdm is part of kde itself.
For info on how to setup kdm to load at startup comsult:

And in general read the excellent docs first:

enjoy reading
