gentoo KDE problem
hi all,
I have installed gentoo on a machine with alpha architecture. I
have installed KDE 3.3

KDE works perfectly alright. but when i try to logout the machine
completely hangs and i am left with no option other than hard reboot.
however, if i try terminating my X server with Ctrl-Alt-backspace i
get the prompt as usual.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
saurabh

I have the same problem on a DEC Alphastation 200 (4/166). Below, I'm posting
my information regarding the problem. Please post the same information.

I am not using X/KDE, but I am using linux 2.4.21-alpha-r16, aboot 0.9-r1, SRM
console with firmware v7.0.

I have not resolved the problem. I don't have a workaround. I've seen a few
open bugs on it, mostly posted with the BSD distros.

I'm confident that the problem has nothing to do with KDE. The problem is
most likely:
1. a problem with the kernel handing control back over to the SRM console
properly
2. a problem with aboot handing control back over to the SRM console properly
3. a bad SRM console setting

For me, the sequence goes something like this:

This is leo.local (Linux alpha 2.4.21-alpha-r16) 16:19:06

leo login: root
