After more hours than I like to think about without X, found a warning in: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=238969 > ------- Comment #13 From Dan Coats 2008-10-10 14:47:42 0000 [reply] ------- > > on a side note, nvidia-drivers ebuilds should now warn that backingstore > should be set to false or not specified in xorg.conf at all now. kde4 will bail out with backingstore enabled. Commenting out the BackingStore option fixed my problem with KDE 4.1.2 crashing on logging in. Also I was finally successful in using the latest version of HAL, so that was not the problem. The only other gotcha I'm looking into is that KDE 3.5.10 recently disappeared on my system, leaving just KDE 4.1.2 available. HTH, Roy
