Posted: Fri Dec 07, 2012 1:50 am Post subject: Wierdness in X: video mode not set, no keyboard or sound |
|
|
MSI S270 laptop. I routinely emerge --sync -q && emerge -quDN --keep-going world or equivalent. I did so on 2 December and it seems to have done some strangeness. Before that, I did so about four weeks ago without problems.
Because of the lack of linking with LDAP, I've hard-masked gnutls-3.
Neither revdep-rebuild nor emerge -quDN world find anything to do so the system is up to date as of 6 December 2012.
The machine boots fine with a nice column of [OK] down the right. It behaves correctly until X starts up. I've rc-update del xdm for now. When X/KDE starts,- it starts in 1024x768 although the screen is 1200x800
- the keyboard does nothing (including caps. lock)
- KDE reports that the audio hardware is missing.
So what's going on ? I repeat, the machine was working correctly up to the current batch of updates. /usr is not on a separate partiition, so nothing to do with udev wierdness in that area. _________________ Michael Mounteney |

Obvious first question when anyone reports problems with X and I/O: did you upgrade the X server and not rebuild the relevant x11-drivers packages? |

In any case, that wouldn't explain why the sound has gone ... _________________ Michael Mounteney |

Udev is currently broken and not loading modules. You'll have to add them to /etc/conf.d/modules manually. |

Hmm. I'm obviously adding too much because that locks it on boot. I wonder how long udev will stay broken.
I didn't even realise that udev was related to loading of modules ... I assumed that was entirely the responsbility of the kernel. _________________ Michael Mounteney |

It was broken only on ebuild side and just for a short time.
It should work correctly now. |
