 |
|
Hi guys,
weird problem !
When I boot up my system everything is okay ! no problems
But If I plan to restart X later it crash :/, I'm unable to figure out the exact reason.
Here's some informations:
emerge --info: http://rafb.net/p/zZYNhR57.html
xorg log: http://rafb.net/p/r8qy0M16.html
xorg.conf: http://rafb.net/p/MoqcPT38.html
Thanks in advance

Your xorg is configured to run ati drivers which you probably don't have installed.
Try this | as root: | cd
/etc/init.d/xdm stop
X -configure
X -config /root/xorg.conf.new |
You should have a grey screen with an X cursor. Use ctrl+alt+bkspc to exit.
If this worked, copy file /root/xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and you're good to go.  |

Of course I do have ati-drivers installed 
Well, if I use the generated /root/xorg.conf.new it will not use my ati-drivers (already tried that)

Ok,I haven't used gdm in a while, sometimes I use kdm and recently I noticed problems when I restarted X through /etc/init.d/xdm. It looked like kdm was not using xorg.conf - at least on restarts - weird.
So I added -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf to the X start command in kdmrc which fixed the problem.
| /usr/kde/3.5/share/config/kdm/kdmrc: | | ServerCmd=/usr/bin/X -br -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf |
I realise it's not gdm, but it may or may not be a similar situation. |

This ought to do it. Hope it works.
| cat /etc/X11/gdm/custom.conf: | [servers]
[server-Standard]
name=Standard server
command=/usr/bin/X -br -audit 0 -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf |

Man thank you very much. You always give me my required solution !
Now I've a last question related to X.
Well, I figured out why I'm getting this:
| Code: | Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified |
That's because when I change my connection essid it changes my hostname to some "new-host". I'm looking for a way to prevent that and always keep my default hostname "localhost"
Thanks
