[gentoo-user] Problems starting x after update

[Stewart Taylor]

Hi all

I've just completed an emerge --update --deep world, all went ok until I re-started, then I could only get console mode. This is the contents of /var/log/xdm.log.

Note that your system uses syslog. All of kdm's internally generated messages
(i.e., not from libraries and external programs/scripts it uses) go to the
daemon.* syslog facility; check your syslog configuration to find out to which
file(s) it is logged. PAM logs messages related to authentication to authpriv.*.

When I checked for /usr/lib/X11/rgb the file is not there. Can someone please tell what went wrong and how to recover from  this.

TIA
