Can someone point me to a document that will help me set up my system to start with kdm to log in instead of using a shell. I've checked page out http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdebase/kdm/configuring-your-system-for-kdm.html and it was somewhat helpful but it doesn't give specifics for gentoo.

Thanks

This should do the trick:

Code:
# rc-update add xdm default

Add this also:

/etc/rc.conf
Code:
DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm"
