I may have had the same problem a week ago. X would start, kdm would
let me log in, but just about when the kde desktop would finish loading
kde would quit back to kdm. Couldn't find any hint in /var/log.
Started backing out various things ended up getting the system working
again by masking hal 0.5.11:
# cat /etc/portage/package.mask/monolithic
=sys-fs/encfs-1.4.2
~sys-apps/hal-0.5.11
=media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p27725
At the time I was suspecting that hal 0.5.11 was requiring evdev (which
with 20+ hours of unsuccessfully trying to get it to work over the last
year, I wouldn't be surprised if it's the culprit).
Haven't had time to dig further.
HTH,
Roy
