Hi Bob and welcome to Gentoo, |
| 12 |
Which graphic desktop you have installed? If its plain X server |
| 13 |
(i.e., xorg-x11) then you'll get a very basic desktop, which you |
| 14 |
obviously dont want. If you installed kde, then probaby you've not |
| 15 |
modified your .xinitrc file. Execute this command from from console, |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
echo "exec startkde" > ~/.xinitrc |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
next time you execute 'startx', kde will startup. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
for GNOME, execute this command first |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
echo "exec gnome-session" > ~/.xinitrc |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
then startx will bring gnome up. For more info on other desktop's |
| 26 |
checkout the Gentoo docs at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/list.xml |

Hope this helps, |
