when linux comes up it does not automatically start KDE:

when kde comes up by executing 'kdm', the screen resolution is always wrong.

after emerging the bash always tells to update a configfile:

The DISPLAYMANAGER setting in /etc/rc.conf

Probably /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

The easiest way is to emerge gentoolkit and use etc-update.

When I change to DISPLAYMANAGER=kdm, it starts like before and nothing special happens.

Please refer to this to configure your desktop correctly. Please read the sections related to desktop managers, in particular.
