KDE setup

[dansoccer1010]

Well, i finally got my gentoo setup and this time it actually boots. Once i log into my username, i type startx and it goes through some text outputs, but then says it cant find a screen and so im still stuck at my text input stuff and without a windows manager. I did the GRP install of KDE when i installed linux, so now i need to figure out how to actually start up my KDE. like i said, startx has that error, and startkde does nothing either. Id really like some help here. Thanks iun advance.

try start kdm
if X is setup properly.

That did nothing for me. How do i set up X correctly? All i have done is to install my gentoo from the cd and then boot into the operating system. Do i manually set up x? If so, how do i do it?

Ok. I just finsished setting up X windows. Now, how can i get my KDE up and running? Thanks

ALso, i just did an emerge of kde and so i have kde 3.1 now. I installed X Windows correctly, but how can i make it boot into KDE when i use startx? Thanks.

Anyone? Like i said, i have all of the kde files ( at least i think i do. ) I set up Xfree86 correctly and when i do a startx, it goes into the default windows maanager ( the crappy looking one with nothing on it basically ) Please someone help. I need some KDE action ASAP

edit your '.xinitrc' file to say 'startkde' :)
