 Posted: Wed Aug 31, 2005 9:52 pm Post subject: KDE + Nvidia won't start |
 |
|
Hi there, I've been searching for a soulution to this, but I am unable to come up with any fixes.
I've emerged KDE and the Nvidia drivers so far, but I can't get KDE to start. If I do startx I get the Nvidia splash screen for a second and then a blank screen. On this screen I can see the 'x' for my cursor and move it around. If I left click I get a menu called Twm and a lot of sub menus. I can open up a xterm window and type. If I exit this blank screen I'm taken back to the console with no errors shown. Does anyone know how I can get KDE working?
Thanks in advance for any help!

| Create the file ~/.xinitrc and add to it. |

Thank you for the quick reply.. I was almost positive I had added that in the very beginning. KDE is up and running. Now, if I can only get my IPW2200 working ;p |

AFAIK, Intel Intel Pro Wireless 2200 is well supported under Linux, search the forum and read the official doc to get it working: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=4&chap=4
Also, for starting KDE without the ~/.xinitrc stuff, edit /etc/rc.conf
| /etc/rc.conf wrote: | # What display manager do you use ? [ xdm | gdm | kdm | entrance ]
DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm"
# XSESSION is a new variable to control what window manager to start
# default with X if run with xdm, startx or xinit. The default behavior
# is to look in /etc/X11/Sessions/ and run the script in matching the
# value that XSESSION is set to. The support scripts are smart enough to
# look in all bin directories if it cant find a match in /etc/X11/Sessions/,
# so setting it to "enlightenment" can also work. This is basically used
# as a way for the system admin to configure a default system wide WM,
# allthough it will work if the user export XSESSION in his .bash_profile, etc.
#
# NOTE: 1) this behaviour is overridden when a ~/.xinitrc exists, and startx
# is called.
# 2) even if ~/.xsession exists, if XSESSION can be resolved, it will
# be executed rather than ~/.xsession, else KDM breaks ...
#
# Defaults depending on what you install currently include:
#
# Gnome - will start gnome-session
# kde-<version> - will start startkde (ex: kde-3.0.2)
# Xsession - will start a terminal and a few other nice apps
XSESSION="kde-3.4" |
