Hi,

after reboot X11 fails with
(II) Initializing extension GLX
(EE) config/hal: couldn't initialise context: (null) ((null))

I have
x11-base/xorg-x11-7.4
x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r1
installed on a x86-64 machine.

Has anybody an idea what's going on?

Many thanks for your help,
Helmut.

Installed versions: 1.5.3-r1(09:46:41 01/29/09)(hal input_devices_evdev input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse ipv6 nptl sdl video_cards_nv xorg
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-180.22

I vaguely remember having removed the 'hal' use flag for some time.
Now, I have reinstalled x11-base/xorg-server after adding 'hal' to my
/etc/make.conf
But probably there are further x11 packages which need to be reemerged.

But on an another machine I'm running these x11 versions without 'hal'.
So, there must be a different cause of the problem.

Thanks,
Helmut.

Maybe try emerge -uvDNp world and see if the USE flags are changed. If
they have, remove the p and let it rebuild. The -N is the big part here.

if you are using the closed source drivers, you should add nvidia
instead of nv to your ${VIDEO_CARDS} in the make.conf

be sure the hald is running before starting the X.

Never test packages if it is urgent to recover a working state, !

P.s. past your xorg.conf, just to be sure that there is now problem

Or, at the very least, use quickpkg on the working version first.
