Bug 382139 – KDE 4 login not smooth

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description Prince George 2011-09-07 12:20:52 UTC]

I have recently installed KDE 4 in gentoo with desktop 10.0/KDE profile. KDM is the default login manager.
1) When the login transitions from tty to kdm the screen blanks out with white color before showing the login screen.
2) Whenever I right click the mouse or say click on any menu and select a new options there is a blinking in screen.

How can I solve this. I installed kdebase-meta

Hmmm... please tell us more:

* which kde version?
* emerge --info
* which graphics card?
* /var/log/Xorg.0.log

I have a intel graphics driver in my netbook too. But i have only set "intel" as graphics driver. Maybe thats the trick and please check your kernel settings for driver support.

There is an article for intel graphic driver in official wiki available: http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Intel

Did the intel wiki article solve your problem?

KDE SC 4.7.3 is stable. No response after gave hints for configuration. I guess its solved.
