Wondering if I just run emerge kde if xorg gets install too? or do I need to install Xorg first before I install kde?
thanks in advance

| I believe you have to emerge xorg first, but do an emerge -p kde, and it will list everything it wants to install, see if it's in there. Please post what you see as I'm curious but don't want to uninstall xorg to see. Thanks. |

| Xorg will be installed also, as it is a dependencie for every X program. And of course, all the dependencies of X will be pushed also. |

The nice thing about emerge is, that it does install all packages your program depends on. As KDE needs a working X, as long as it isn't installed already, it will get automatically installed by emerge. You can check this by doing an, that will give you a list of all packages it plans to install and also give you some info about each package. Then you can decide whether or not to install them.
A good place to check what program needs which other programs also depending on the USE flags you set, is: gentoo-portage. You can also look what USE-flags can be set and what they do mean.
When compiling KDE it is good to set USE=kdeenablefinale in your /etc/make.conf - that will give you a much better compiling time. And especially on older systems KDE will take a lot of time to compile. Or, if you don't know how to set use-flags just do this: | Code: | | USE=kdeenablefinal emerge -av kde |
In most cases you don't need to configure X, but it is better. For example a scroll wheel at your mouse won't work otherwise. And you need to configure X to start KDE. That will be very easy if you follow the steps in these documents:
Configure X
Configure KDE

Just be sure that if you already installed xorg (for example with "emerge kde") that you only follow the instructions in chapter 3. "Configuring Xorg" from http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml. Don't reinstall xorg by doing "emerge xorf" or something. |

Ok I haven't install Xorg if kde is going to install it first, but seems like I won't be able to install it cause seems that kde is not stable or is masked....
So I still want to install it but now I just want to install basic and test it
so I emerge kdebase-startkde and gives me a error that its masked....
now reading how some people installed it
nano -w /etc/portage/package.keywords

Your problem is that the split ebuild for kde are only availabe for 3.4, that is still unstable. kde-base/startkde is a split ebuild, so that's the problem.
You have to solutions:
1.- To unmask kde-3.4 packages while the system request them, it's painfull but if you dont want to do that just search the packages list, is around in these forums. 3.4 is stable even being masked, and is working in lot of boxes w/o any problem.
2.- To emerge the old kde-3.3.2 monolithic ebuilds, then you have to start emerge kde-base, and then any other you want, like kde-graphics, kde-network, kde-graphics....... These are stable and unmasked. The choice is yours. |
