In the meantime I found another solution. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
/etc/init.d/xdm did not actually start Xdm, but Kdm. In Kdm |
| 20 |
I could switch to the console by clicking a menu item with |
| 21 |
the mouse. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Yet, I found the most satisfying solution when I ran into an |
| 24 |
emerge-dependency-resolution hell with KDE. I completely |
| 25 |
deinstalled KDE, and since I use SLiM I had not one crash |
| 26 |
any more. |
