Hi, I have just recently reinstalled Linux with the 2.6 kernel (gentoo-dev-sources). Also, I have just emerged kdebase, along side with other kde ebuilds. The problem is when I start-up kde.... here is what it shows.

Code:

#startkde
xsetroot:   unable to open display ''
xset:   unable to open display ""
xset:   unable to open display ""
xsetroot:   unable to open display ''
startkde:  Starting up...
startkde:  Running kpersonalizer...
kwin:  cannot connect to X server
kpersonalizer:  cannot connect to X server

Because there is no X Server running, right? Try "startx". I hope you have X configured.

cheers

Here is the last screen I get from startx
Code:

New driver is "ati"
(==) Using default built-in configuration (53 lines)
(WW) RADEON: No matching device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1)  found.

Fatal Server....

So I ran xorgconfig to configure the xorg.conf file, and now when I do startx:
Code:
...
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"

Using vt 7
(WW) RADEON: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) found
Symbol drmGetClient from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.o is unresolved!
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/CID, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/local/, removing from list!
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 40: xterm: command not found
.etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 41: xterm: command not found
.etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 412: exec: xterm: not found

waiting for X server to shutdown..
