Odd problem here. X worked just fine. Rebooted a few times, worked... Rebuilt X, KDE, fluxbox, etc, worked... Then, it stopped working.

I've got a generic GeF2 MX.

Starting seeing the Speedo error, but it probaby doesnt really mean anything.

Tried re-emerging XFree, back and forth between 4.2.0 and 4.2.1, no help.

When I try the nv kernel drivers, I see the splash screen, then it bombs right after that.

Tried to xf86config a few times to a regular fresh driver, which I should
at least be able to xinit, no good.

No error messages whatsoever.

last message I see in /var/log/Xfree86.0.log is

(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Mouse1" (type: Mouse)


Anyone have any ideas? Since there are no error messages, Im at a loss to what may be causing it. It worked just fine for a couple of days when I initially installed the box.

Thanks!

what type of mouse have you got? what are your XF86Config mouse settings?

Have you installed the NVdriver kernel & driver? have you changed XF86Config to use the new driver?

Standard generic PS/2 Mouse... Mouse settings are

Section "InputDevice"

Identifer "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "/dev/mouse"

Tried with both the NVdriver kernel and nvidia driver, and with the standard nv driver that comes out of the box with a xf86config

Hmm.. nevermind! Had an empty .xinitrc in the home directory... Apparently this was causing it to trainwreck..

Thanks!
