That may have helped if kdm was the only thing broken. I got part way |
| 25 |
through the upgrade then had packages that wouldn't build. Portage gave |
| 26 |
up on skipping packages and just stopped building. I couldn't get past |
| 27 |
that problem so I had to go back to the older KDE. So, kdm was broke |
| 28 |
but so was KDE itself. I needed something like Fluxbox that could run |
| 29 |
all by itself with nothing related to KDE. |
