25 Hmmm.... maybe you guys would know.... I've gone the same route as you.
26 However, I've emerge 4.1.65. It compiles fine, installs, no problems.
27 However... I normally start my gentoobox as rc 3. When I run startx, kde
28 loads and looks quite wonderful, but just as the desktop grabs the mouse...
29 it locks up. The lockup is so complete, I can't switch to a console and have
30 to reboot...
31
32 Does anyone have a suggestion? Kde 4,0 actually worked ok. kde4.05 and greater
33 have been a wash for me. No luck what so ever. Total and complete lockup.
34
35 Things I've done: tried 4.1, tried 4.1.66, made sure evdev is loaded... the
36 logs show that X dies immediately... no output... just bang...
37
38 Now running 3.5.10 with no problems. But I'd really, really like to get a
39 current kde up and running.
