[I wan to add a few kde apps to the mix, but not everything.] Since then, I get a keyboard and mouse lockup when gdm starts. and can't login graphically or switch to a text console. I'd rather not do a complete re-install on that instance, so some clue as to where to look for problems beyond the obvious dmesg and boot info. I do get a "dmeventd" failure to start, so lvm-monitoring fails to start (even after a re-emerge of lvm2) but don't think that as anything to do with the X lockup. Startx from single user mode also causes a kbd/mouse lockup. I've verified that the kernel has the proper event configuration.
