I have this too, when using ati-drivers. I think the nvidia-drivers also |
| 15 |
have their own dri, so this is okay. |

This is the problem. /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdm_greet links to |
| 26 |
libpng12.so.0, which you removed. It needs to be rebuilt so it links |
| 27 |
against libpng14.so.0. A simple emerge -1 kde-base/kdm should solve this. |
| 28 |
Use ldd /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdm_greet to verify this, there should be no |
| 29 |
'not found' entries. |

Better use revdep-rebuild, there might be many other things that are still |
| 32 |
linked to the old libpng. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
You could also try to emerge media-libs/libpng:1.2, this will install the |
| 35 |
old libpng in parallel. At least I do have both on my system, but my kdm |
| 36 |
inks to 1.4. If the revdep-rebuild list is very long, maybe you can get a |
| 37 |
working system faster this way. |
