Subject: [gentoo-amd64] windowmaker and kdm not working

1 Hello,
2 My Gentoo system graphics work when I s'tartx' However, I defined
3 'wmaker' as my default in '/etc/rc.conf'. When I startx I get a
4 windowmanager similar to the windowmaker I am used to but instead of the
5 3 icons on the top right and the desktopswitcher on the left I only have
6 a clock. Is this correct?
7
8 Also, I have set my default runlevel to 5 in '/etc/inittab' and chose
9 kdm as my prefered login method. But when I boot I always get a console
10 login. Kdm runs if I btype 'kdm'. It doesn't give me the option of
11 windowmaker and the default won't start anything.
12
13 Can anyone help?
14 Gavin.
