Cant start X using KDE on Gentoo!!

[andutt]

I have difficulties getting up X... i have installed a gentoo dist and KDE. When i try to start X now i get follwing errormessages on the screen.

xsetroot:  unable to open display 'localhost:0.0'
xset:  unable to open display "localhost:0.0"
startkde: Starting up...
startkde: Running kpersonalizer...
kwin: cannot connect to X server localhost:0.0
kpersonalizer: cannot connect to X server localhost:0.0

- I have maked sure xfs are running..
- Have tried X -configure and try to start on the new XF96config
- Have tried to set the DISPLAY variable to :0 and to :0.0

But no luck...i am not a X expert...have anybody any tip for me??

Regards

It almost seems as if the X server isn't started at all. Can you see it starting? What would happen if you started the X server manually, exported DISPLAY=:0 and tried to just run startkde?

[andutt]

How do i manually start the X-server, i have started

- xfs
- xdm

And tried startkde and startx wit no luck. Here is my XFree log for people that can X better then me...I think i have read something here before when people get

[Dolda2000]

It won't recognize your video card. Does this work, and what happens?

XFree86 -configure
XFree86 -xf86config XF86Config.new

Otherwise, does the xf86cfg program work for you?

[andutt]

XFree86 -confiure and booted on the new config worked...Then my mousecursor comes up graphicly and some strang terminal windows, but not real KDE....do i have do change anything to start real KDE later???

I moved this new configfile under /etc/X11..

Regards

[Dolda2000]

Maybe your default session isn't KDE. What happens if you run "startx startkde" from text mode?

[genlee]

Atr the bottom of /etc/rc.conf, make sure its se to kde.

[andutt]

That was it!

The last line in /etc/rc.conf said XSESSION="xdm" i changed that to kde-3.1.2 and then i found a utility in gentoo called xf86config that was a interactive X-setup..worked OK. So now when i started x with startx it worked fine!!!

Thankx a lot guys for your help! case closed over and out

Regards
