Hi, after many problems, I finally got my gentoox back up.. (dont ask, lol)
Now only 1 (or 2) remain;)
When I log out of any wm, GDM always goes insane.. lookin like a circus midget with a Rainbow Hammer smacked my TV.. (scrambled pascal colors)
I've tried to fix gmd with magic, but I havnt tried to use any other login managers... maybe I'll try kdm, or xdm?
Also.. I have no sound at all:/ heh... I've run emerge sync and magic, both say done.. so I think I'm up to date, or my box is messin with me~
Any insights:)

Sleep... those lil' slices of death - How I loathe them. -EAP
I had the same problem and switch to kdm
I changed the /etc/conf.d/local.start
and remarked all lines that include gdm
and add an extra line
/usr/kde/3.3/bin/kdm
also edit the /etc/rc.conf XSESSION variable
XSESSION="kde-3.3.0"
and
DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm"
this way I can also shutdown with the right mouse logout through KDE and I don't have to go to the menu to choose the shutdown program
Is it possible to have this as the default login manager?

Hi,
I think I've run into a similar problem when logging out, but using VNC. See viewtopic.php?t=3108
One of the things I was un-aware until yesterday was that the main display was also borked when VNC was borked (I run this box headless).
I noticed in my situation that xdm service in /etc/init.d seems to help in this regard.
Note: My version is different than the stock home 4.0 version, tho', since I emerged both gdm, and xorg-x11 to try and fix my issue.
{To be clear, the xdm service starts gdm on my box, but YMMV }
So any update on the "rainbow" bug? Anybody know if the problem is supposed to be fixed yet?

hi,
same here.
if i log out or just restart gdm for any reason gdm becomes unusable :/
(remindes me of the PC-bug where the framebuffer becomes unusable while using the nvidia driver and the tv-out is activated)
back to Topic:
how can i switch to xdm as default?(and how to deactivate this virtual keyboard?)
i dont know kdm very well but i dont like kde and dunno if kdm is as slow as kde ^^
thank you in advance
