|
|
After an emerge world, kdm fails to launch. kdm.log contains
Code: | Fatal server error:
no screens found
Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support
at http://wiki.x.org
for help.
Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information. |
Xorg.0.log contains these errors:
Code: | [ 81.046] (EE) module ABI major version (8) doesn't match the server's version (10)
[ 81.046] (EE) Failed to load module "sis" (module requirement mismatch, 0)
[ 81.047] (EE) module ABI major version (8) doesn't match the server's version (10)
[ 81.047] (EE) Failed to load module "vesa" (module requirement mismatch, 0)
[ 81.047] (EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)
[ 81.048] (EE) No drivers available.
|
I'm using sisfb, as grub.conf contains
Code: | title Gentoo Linux 2.6.38-r6
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.38-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/sda6 video=sisfb:1200x800-24@60,mtrr:2,ywrap
|
Here's the entire xorg.conf and the entire Xorg.0.log
Any pointers to correcting kdm/X would be greatly appreciated as I would love to get KDE running again. Thanks.
[SOLVED] chithanh, below, correctly suggests that all x11-drivers need to be re-emerged after an xorg-server upgrade. [/SOLVED]

After you upgrade xorg-server, it tells you to rebuild all x11-drivers. Follow this advice, or you will see such ABI mismatch errors. |

You are correct. The messages accompanying an emerge of xorg-server includes
Code: | * You must rebuild all drivers if upgrading from <xorg-server-1.10
* because the ABI changed. If you cannot start X because
* of module version mismatch errors, this is your problem.
* You can generate a list of all installed packages in the x11-drivers
* category using this command:
* emerge portage-utils; qlist -I -C x11-drivers/
* or using sets from portage-2.2:
* emerge @x11-module-rebuild
|
I was tired after a 6-hour emerge of KDE and just missed this.
Thanks for your help. |
