I have cost eight hours and forty minutes in installing KDE Meta.
When I wake up this morning it has done. But when I startx,
it can't work, output messages are below:
>xauth: file /root/.serverauth.xxxx (xxxx is changed each time
>I use startx) does not exist
>/etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc : line2 : /usr/bin/X  No such file or directory
>/etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc : line2 : exec /usr/bin/X : Cannot execute : No such file or directory
>xinit : giving up
>xinit: unable to connect to X server : Connection refused
>xinit : server error


I gotta to tell you that I'm not going to recompile whole package in order
to solve it.
So if anyone could afford simple methods, I would appreciate him .

Install kdm, modify /etc/conf.d/xdm, test it using /etc/init.d.xdm
start and turn kdm on permanently with rc-update

good luck,
Mark

The problem is that X is not installed. to install X, edit
/etc/make.conf and add VIDEO_CARDS="<your video card here>" and emerge
xorg-server or emerge xorg-x11 to get X

How can it not be installed?  Wouldn't KDE pull in Xorg packages as 
dependencies?

If not read these pages for instructions:

No, not the server. Mind, X is a client-server architecture. It's perfectly 
valid to run kde-clients on a machine, that has no xserver installed.

Best,
Michael

Oh!  My mistake.  I thought that xorg-server would be pulled in by some X USE 
flag or other.

I have recompiled the kernel as <The X server configuration howto> says.But when I emerge xorg-server  it had errors:!!!Error: The xorg-x11 OpenGL implementation doesn't seem to provide!!!Error: libGL.so file. This might be an effect of breakage introducedby a prioprietary driver installer. Please re-merge the package!!!Error: providing your OpenGL implementation!!!Error: Selected OpenGL implementation incompleteHmm, installing KDE is not that easy.So what's wrong with this?

I don't think that has anything to do with KDE.

Maybe this forum thread is part of the answer?

It seems that you have not installed the correct drivers for your card and/or 
have not defined these correctly in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, if indeed you have 
created such a file (it may not be necessary to create it unless there is a 
particular configuration need for your hardware).

I suggest you go back to the Gentoo instructions on how to install Xorg and 
retrace your steps.

I've explained where the problem is:  you seem to have defined the ati driver 
on your system but not installed it?

What is VIDEO_CARDS set to in /etc/make.conf?

If a man is standing in the middle of the forest speaking and there is
no woman around to hear him - Is he still wrong?

Post the complete output of /etc/make.conf please.

You almost certainly didn't define the right drivers, or never built
them, or they are outdated. It's one of those three, and the output of
make.conf tells the list what your next step is.


p.s. you are still a newbie at this Gentoo thing. I *highly* recommend
that when someone asks for output or files, that you just give it. Don't
make it more complicated for yourself and others by claiming that it is
correct and not post the output - you are almost certain to be wrong at
this stage. Nothing personal, that's just what happens when you are new
to something.

Besides, if you knew how to solve the problem, you would already have
fixed it, right? If you don't know how to solve it, then you also
usually don't know where to look for the problem, right?
