[SOLVED] I deleted my xdm...

[Eugene33]

Hi
could someone would be kind enough to tell me how I could undo my stupid mistake !?! with the "xf86-input-evdev" problem I deleted the xdm to have access to the console and now I can't "startx" correctly anymore.
I managed to find a XDM from 2003, so when I "startx" it launch a basic graphic environment, then I "startkde" and it launch Kde4, with a lot of missing elements.

I re-emerged xdm, xorg-server, xorg-x11, but can't get xdm working again. When I do "/etc/init.d/xdm start" I receive

bash: /etc/init.d/xdm: /sbin/runscript^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory.

That message sounds like your /etc/init.d/xdm was edited and saved with DOS format (^M\n) instead of Unix (\n).

emerge -1 xinit should hopefully fix it...

wonderful, It worked just fine......I had to

rm /etc/init.d/xdm

and then emerge xinit and I had my good xdm back
Thanks a lot you save my day
