18 Thanks very much. I've got a (non-functional) kdm on-screen now when I boot up.
19
20 My ATI Rage XL (onboard) seems to require xf86-video-ati as well as
21 xf86-video-mach64, and the upgrade to xorg-1.5 seems to have obscured
22 that fact. I found it out by searching for all references to Rage
23 XL, and trying everything suggested by what I found there.
24 Eventually, I found a combination that resulted in a promising
25 Xorg.log.0 and a screen with an outline "x" icon, albeit not much more
26 than that.

28 Dirk's message was the next step: while "eselect opengl list" seemed
29 to show that I had selected xorg-x11, it wasn't until I re-did that
30 selection that I started to see anything recogizable after bootup.
31
32 End result: I get a recognizable kde login screen.
33 Problems: neither keyboard nor mouse is functional in X. Coming soon
34 to a thread near here.

36 Thanks all
