Same here, I tried both solutions, SERVERCMD and SERVERTIMEOUT and a combination of both and no go.

I'm running kdm-4.1.3 on a ~x86. Its no big deal I guess but it would be nice to have. Thanks.

BTW, it seems to try to start, I even see a watch icon, but then it goes back to the terminal login.

tgnb: This didn't work for you?

I noticed problems when I restarted X through /etc/init.d/xdm. It looked like kdm was not using xorg.conf - at least on restarts - weird.

So I added -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf to the X start command in kdmrc ([X-:*-Core]) which fixed the problem.
ServerCmd=/usr ...

Got it working, it was a problem with /etc/resolv.conf and the nameserver.

You could have also upgraded netkit-rsh-0.17-r8 to netkit-rsh-0.17-r9, that worked for me. Just for anyone else with a similar problem.

Thanks.

LOL, I was about to come here and say: FIXED IT!!!

You are right, under /etc/resolv.conf, nameserver was my domainname:
nameserver lilnetwork

I ran dhcpd eth1 and it fixed it. (had to rm the dhcp file)

Do I have to do this everytime?? or I should just get the correct nameserver? Under /etc/conf ...

I'm floored...I tried using different versions of the drivers/kernels, I even tried using the same stuff as the livecd with no luck. Then check this out: I go out and buy a different NIC, which uses Tulip drivers, its a Linksys NC 100...I install that, it gives me an IP Address, just like the intel ...

I have no way to copy and paste since I've been trying to install this, I'll do my best to type it correctly, thanks.

I have the exact same problem but instead of having 82566DM I guess I have a newer one:

It uses e1000e instead of e1000, do you think I will have the same solution? Its different version numbers and all ...

Hi,

I'm trying to install gentoo on this new Dell Optiplex 755, it has an 256MB ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO. I'm just wondering if anyone would have the best configuration for my xorg.conf and make.conf. I would really appreciate the help. Thank You. I will keep this topic open with my development so ...

Wow, that is interesting, I'm assuming they have some connections in high places . Or have given few, but some very insightful posts. I wouldn't mind moderating the spanish boards with my 126 posts though .

Has anyone that has not reached the "Veteran" ranking become a Moderator? I wonder if the number of posts are important.

Thanks for the Link, it helped a lot, but the real site (or updated site) is:

:D Finally I got it to work. Turns out since I'm using a port replicator, and the sound device is inside of it, the snd-usb-audio device is technically connected through a USB Hub. I found out that this caused problems when I searched around the bug trackers and found that I needed to have this ...

I read the Documentation and did what you suggested, Although it is more clean now, it still doesn't work.

This is my new Config:

options snd cards_limit=2
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio
options snd-hda-intel index=1
options snd-usb-audio index=0

I also have a similar problem with my usb-audio device. The problem is that I can't get any sound playback through my usb-audio device.

This is what I have:

I guess chaning the time out to 10 seconds fixed the problem, this must explain why I had the same problem with ifplugd when it would go on the background?
