/etc/X11/Sessions/KDE-4 just runs: |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
exec "/usr/bin/startkde" |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
and /usr/bin/startkde does not seem to look into either .xinitrc, or |
| 44 |
.xsession, both of which are optional files for personal settings of your |
| 45 |
xsession and its applications. It does however check to see if XDM is |
| 46 |
running and then it tries to connect to that X server. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
In my machine (still on the stable baselayout) if I add XSESSION="kde-4" in |
| 49 |
/etc/rc.conf and DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm" in /etc/conf.d/xdm it works. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Assuming that you have not forgotten to emerge xdm ;-) you may want to try |
| 52 |
using the above settings and then running: |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
/etc/init.d/xdm --debug restart |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
from a console to see what errors you get. |
