I've got a (non-functional) kdm on-screen now when I boo= t up. My ATI Rage XL (onboard) seems to require xf86-video-ati as well as xf86-video-mach64, and the upgrade to xorg-1.5 seems to have obscured that fact. I found it out by searching for all references to Rage XL, and trying everything suggested by what I found there. Eventually, I found a combination that resulted in a promising Xorg.log.0 and a screen with an outline "x" icon, albeit not much more than that. Dirk's message was the next step: while "eselect opengl list" seemed to show that I had selected xorg-x11, it wasn't until I re-did that selection that I started to see anything recogizable after bootup. End result: I get a recognizable kde login screen. Problems: neither keyboard nor mouse is functional in X. Coming soon to a thread near here. Thanks all --=20 Kevin O'Gorman, PhD
