I thought I had it configured for KDM, things are not going well. |
| 2 |
|

rc-update says xdm is in default (and |
| 4 |
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Activate_Graphical_login |
| 5 |
says this is a good thing. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
/etc/conf.d/xdm says |
| 8 |
DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm" |
| 9 |
and /etc/rc.conf just has a comment to look in that place, plus |
| 10 |
XSESSION="kde-3.5" |
| 11 |
|

When I'm logged out, however, I've got that ugly login thing that |
| 13 |
takes only a username and password. There's no way to reboot without |
| 14 |
somehow logging in as root, either on a PTY or through XDM. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I do have kdm-3.5.5-r1 emerged. |
| 17 |
|

Logging does take me to KDE, but the menus in KDE also provide no way |
| 19 |
to reboot. Going to root via su is not wonderful either, as execution |
| 20 |
/sbin/shutdown -r does really strange things until it finally gets |
| 21 |
clobbered |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I'd like to clean this up: I'd like kdm, and I'd like a menu entry |
| 24 |
for rebooting. |

Advice? |
