 |

i've emerged kdebase-startkde and X server appeared to be installed as well by default with KDE, but there's no xorg.conf yet, just xorg.conf.example.
why does my KDE work if X isn't configured at all? |

Sometimes X will start up just using the default VGA settings if your video card supports it.
Running:
Should create a file called xorg.conf.new. Just copy that to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and that *hopefully* will work. It might need sometweaking though. |

from what i get right there it looks like you might have to change /dev/mouse to /dev/input/mice in your /root/xorg.conf.new.
| Code: | | Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" |
to | Code: | | Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" |
then if that works copy it over to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
| Code: | | cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf |
