The Gentoo page I am following makes no mention of 'consolekit': http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nvidia-guide.xml It is installed but it's not set in rc-update to run at all. Should this be boot or default? dragonfly ~ # eix -I consolekit [I] sys-auth/consolekit Available versions: 0.2.3 0.2.10 ~0.2.10-r1 ~0.3.0 ~0.3.0-r1 {debug doc pam policykit} Installed versions: 0.2.10(02:17:12 PM 04/20/2009)(pam -debug) Homepage: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/ConsoleKit Description: Framework for defining and tracking users, login sessions and seats. dragonfly ~ # Thanks, Mark
