I installed kdm with the ~x86 mask (ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge kdm
But kdm is not installed on my system if i run "whereis kdm" i get as result "kdm:"
So where is kdm? the emerge didn't generated any errors!

My xorg is working perfectly, if I run kdestart in a xterm it will start kde.

I'm using this machine for mythtv and i want to auto login with kdm.

everything works except the auto login with kdm.

You can't find the kdm executable via whereis because it's not in your PATH.
In /etc/rc.conf, set
Code:
DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm"

and
Code:
XSESSION="kde-<yourversion>"

(supposing you want to use KDE; for Gnome, use 'Gnome', etc...)
Finally, execute
Code:
rc-update add xdm default

to run X at startup.
Refer to the KDE Configuration HOWTO for more info.
