After a recent emerge update, the X (kdm and startx) stopped working. Here are the error messages from startx

Current version of pixman: 0.22.0
Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org
to make sure that you have the latest version.
Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting,
(++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational,
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Mon Jul 25 22:31:16 2011
(==) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d"
(EE) module ABI major version (8) doesn't match the server's version (10)

(EE) module ABI major version (8) doesn't match the server's version (10)
(EE) Failed to load module "vesa" (module requirement mismatch, 0)
(EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

I followed the tread https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-885090-highlight-module+abi+major.html

and re-emerged both xorg-server and x11-drivers. But I am still getting the same error messages. Do I need to recompile the modules?

Thanks.

Yes, re-merge X11 drivers:
Code:
qlist -I x11-drivers
ls /var/db/pkg/x11-drivers

or you try
Code:
emerge -1 $(qlist -IC x11-drivers)


which will rebuild all installed x11 drivers without futher interaction

Thanks a lot, sebaro and s_bernstein. "emerge -1" solved the problem. The problem I had was that the command I used was "emerge x11-base/xorg-drivers", which didn't actually force the rebuilding of those x11-drivers.

When X was trying to load the keyboard driver it got an ABI version mismatch (or whatever) between 13 and 14.

Re-emerging xf86-input-evdev, xf86-input-keyboard, and xf86-input-mouse solved the problem

Another thumbs up.

After a session of updating by emerge, my XFCE would start and my mouse and keyboard would not work (Dell Inspiron Laptop); I had to hard reboot. The most helpful advice offered in this topic:
Code:
emerge x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev
emerge x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard
emerge x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse

restored my mouse and keyboard.

An aside: I found a way to test that without having to resort to the harmful and risky power-off button. I would start my laptop, then SSH into it from another machine and then "startx" within the SSH shell which would cause the XFCE session on the laptop to start. The advantage of this remote activation was that I could kill the XFCE session (Ctrl-C) from the remote shell and not subject my laptop to the really bad push the power-off button maneuver. Doing it this way is really compelling for performing emerge updates where there is a risk you might be frozen out of your machine. I guess one should having sshd auto start when rebooting after an emerge that affects X windows, XFCE or the likes.

Worked. Thanks. I should pay more attention to the emerge logs.

Great ! Thanks for your post, it has solved also my problem after an upgrade of nvidia-drivers. It could be nice if this tip was added in the post-install of the nvidia-drivers for those who have a problem of this kind.

Code:

Many thanks from me, too!

(I know this does not add information to this thread, but since it already has all needed information, the thank you should not hurt :) )
