Okay, so the problem seems to be isolated in the gdm package. Did it say anything other than "ERROR: could not open the Display Manager..."? That doesnt't make much sense, gdm is the display manager! What about a log file? You need to look in /var/log/gdm for that. Zac -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
