Hmmm.... maybe you guys would know.... I've gone the same route as you. However, I've emerge 4.1.65. It compiles fine, installs, no problems. However... I normally start my gentoobox as rc 3. When I run startx, kde loads and looks quite wonderful, but just as the desktop grabs the mouse... it locks up. The lockup is so complete, I can't switch to a console and have to reboot... Does anyone have a suggestion? Kde 4,0 actually worked ok. kde4.05 and greater have been a wash for me. No luck what so ever. Total and complete lockup. Things I've done: tried 4.1, tried 4.1.66, made sure evdev is loaded... the logs show that X dies immediately... no output... just bang... Now running 3.5.10 with no problems. But I'd really, really like to get a current kde up and running. Jerry
