Hi folks,

I did my updates a bit ago. I notice xorg and a lot of friends were
updated. The update went fine as far as it compiled and installed
fine. I did my config updates and such as well. To make sure
everything stayed sane, I logged out of KDE, then went to single user
mode and back to default. I figured this was a sure way to restart all
the services that would be upgraded.


When kdm came back up, no keyboard, no mouse nothing. So I used the
trusty sysreq keys to get back to a console. Now I'm trying to roll
back to the older version that I was using before the upgrade. As most
of you know, I have hal disabled and I confirmed that it is indeed still
disabled. I masked mesa and xorg back to the old version. Now they
won't compile. I get errors like this:

There is my wish list. If I can get the new xorg stuff working, that is
cool. If no one else is having trouble with them and it is my hardware
or something then getting the old version to compile and install would
be fine too.


Anyone have a clue how to get something to work here?

BTW, if I log into KDE with the new packages, I can log in once but when
I log out of KDE, the screen goes black and nothing happens. Even the
sysreq keys do nothing. Reset button is all that works.


Thoughts? I need a hammer?

Hi Dale,

Somne shots into the dark:
I am running a non-kde and non-gnome Gentoo here (Openbox is my
friend) and after upgrading X nothing works.

I rtecompiled openbox, lxpanel and the X11-drivers like
xf86-input-keyboard, xf86-input-mouse. nvidia-drivers and
everything was ok.

Try to recompile the x11-drivers and the kde equivalent of the
window manager (I dont know much about kde/gnome...sorry )
and may be X11 will be you friend again...

HTH!

Keep hacking! and have a nice weekend!

That makes sense now that you mention it. I'll give that a try. Heck,
nothing to lose. I know how to use the sysreq keys pretty good now. lol


Thanks.

Hi Dale,

to get out of X (or not-so-X in your case :O) ) you dont need the
sysreqs every time. since they are somehow a 'very hard hrmmm
"feature"' .

Look into your Xorg.conf file under /etc/X11 and look for "dont zap"
or something like that (I removed this from my xorg.conf ) and
remove that (or better comment it out).

After that you kann kill X without disturbing the kernel (and risk
your data) with ALT-Backspace. You will get back a console. Log in
as root and do a "telinit 2" since the setuo still think of running
runlevel 5 "without X" and this is not a sane setup: Runlevel 5 is
"with X" and runlevel 2 is "without X".
To restart X the clean way do "teleinit 5" as root.

HTH

Keep hacking!

Well when it locks up hard, nothing works not even sysreq. That was the
first time it failed me. I'm not sure what made it lock up tho.


Oh, ctrl alt backspace doesn't do anything either.

Hi Dale,

you have to remove this "Dont Zap"-Option from your xorg.conf first.
Should work then.
But of course: If a busmaster (in this case your GraphicsCard) doesnot
release the bus...no way for little folks little some tiny keys
on the keyboard...

Keep hacking!

I got rid of that a long time ago. I like to be able to switch when
needed. I'm the only one on this rig so its not a security issue for me.


I got the original issue solved. I emerged everything installed in
x11-drivers/* and it works fine. I guess I missed something in the list
earlier.


I now have a new problem to solve. I mentioned this before but now it
is a system killer. I boot the system, log into KDE as usual then log
out. Instead of going back to kdm, the screen goes black and sits
there. I thought maybe it was busy or something so I let it sit for
about 10 minutes. It never did anything. The monitor stays on so it is
getting some sort of a signal.


Also, ctrl alt F* keys do nothing. They work elsewhere but not when it
locks up. The only way to do anything is to go through the whole sysreq
set until the system reboots. Then the process repeats. I can boot up,
the services start fine, I can even log in but once I log out, it locks
up with nothing on the screen.


Anybody have a clue what could cause this?

I searched the logs in /var/log and found this:

(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module; please check in your X
(EE) NVIDIA(0): log file that the GLX module has been loaded in your X
(EE) NVIDIA(0): server, and that the module is the NVIDIA GLX

(WW) NVIDIA(0): this mode's HorizSync (29.5 kHz); ignoring HorizSync
check

(WW) NVIDIA(0): for mode "720x405".
(II) NVIDIA(0): Assigned Display Device: CRT-0


I searched the forums and it appears this is a known issue. Going back
to the older xorg is one solution according to what I read. If anyone
has a sure fire fix, I'd be willing to fix but otherwise, I'm back
tracking.

This is Gentoo, not Red Hat.

And just like I did. It still didn't work. I had to go back to the old
version to get things back to normal. I found a thread on the forums
where others are having issues with this as well. They went back to
the old versions as well.
