Description Mar Vaneke 2007-08-21 14:32:14 UTC

On the page :
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kde-config.xml
Code Listing 2.5: Starting KDE

mention that before issuing the command startx, the user has to run this command :
emerge xdm
/etc/init.d/xdm start

and also this command :
rc-update add xdm default
for the next start of the machine.

The problem is also for Gnome documentation page :
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gnome-config.xml



Reproducible: Always

There's nothing wrong with using startx.
Using xdm/kdm is explained later in the documents.
