There is no such thing as kdm-5.5.1...
@RoboGrinch: Do you want to start kde with startx (then please create an .xinitrc as shown) or do you want a graphical login manager? If the latter, the emerge of plasma-meta has already installed one for you: it is sddm. Here's how to configure it: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/SDDM#Configuration

1. If you are still working on the KDE5 install, please don't use kdm, use sddm. Which is also giving some KDE4 apps installation options which you don't need.
2. If you are still have problems starting X?
A. You need to set /etc/portage/make.conf VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia"
B. Add the following file:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/nvidia.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "nvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
3. Add to package.accept_keywords
kde-base/kcheckpass ~amd64
If you have anymore questions or something isn't correct ...just ask.
Thanks

Crap, my bad RoboGrinch. Use the sddm wiki genstorm posted.
Edit: I would recommend sddm, it's very easy to install (I'm pretty sure plasma-meta pulls it in) so all you would have to do is edit the xdm conf.d file, add dbus and xdm to default and poof, you're up and running. |

If you have a graphical login screen, you must have added xdm to your default runlevel at some point.
Remove it:
| Code: | | # rc-update del xdm default |

Please consult the Xorg Guide if you haven't yet.
If you have done that already, check the log in '/var/log/Xorg.0.log' for errors (look for 'EE' lines in particular). |

Yup, in your make.conf you don't have evdev.
| Code: | INPUT_DEVICES="evdev"
# emerge -uavDN world |

@FrankRizz0: If you are using a desktop profile, the following values are default if INPUT_DEVICES is not set in make.conf:
| Code: | # Sane defaults for input drivers
INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" |
One can always check these settings running `emerge --info` |

Oh, good catch!
This is indeed bad and needs fixing - your make.conf: | Code: | VIDEO_CARDS=" "
INPUT_DEVICES=" " |
It actually clears any defaults... |

Didn't you say you had an nvidia card?

You just switched on two variables, you still need to rebuild xorg-drivers.
Please, I've already posted the X.org Guide, these things are all explained there. |

I think I posted the solution for startx twice - although it won't solve your mouse/keyboard problems.
What are the contents of your ~/.xinitrc?
Did you remove the nvidia configured xorg.conf again?
Did you rebuild xorg-drivers? |

OK, for the third time we go:
| genstorm wrote: | Don't startx as root!
Your ~/.xinitrc should contain something like that:
| Code: | #!/bin/sh
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session startkde |
