Aha! Following the FB reasoning, I edited pbbuttonsd.conf:
to:
Problem solved.

Thanks for the help, JoseJX.

Did not have a chance to do any of that stuff...

I discovered today, though, that the same thing happens when I switch from X to a VT and back (CTRL + ALT + FX). Going to poke around for something related to FB and xf86-video-ati.

15", Mobility 9600 (RV350 chipset).

Yeah...I have not tweaked CFLAGS for ppc in awhile...will drop those.

Going to see what goes on during this occurrance when I get home tonight...ssh in and watch dmesg, Xorg output, etc. I will post my findings...

Well, that solves the 640x480 issue. I can sleep it from FB, wake it then start X in 1280x854. However, if I sleep from X it is still wonky when waking. The screen is pretty much just colors blurring and moving around...it is hard to describe. There is nothing discernable from X in the madness. 8)

Until a couple days ago, I had no problems with gentoo on any PPC I have owned (clamshell G3 to my current pbook G4). Tuesday, however, it began to do wonky things after sleep. I put it to sleep with a suspended 'emerge -e world' (rebuilding with gcc-4.1.1) pending, running in X, then resumed and ...

After removing DRI from the kernel, here we are:

http://www.sigil.org/~sarumont/morexglsuck

It still looks like it is having issues with finding 'radeon', but straight up X has no problems. I start fine and can run glxinfo/glxgears with no problems. glxgears *does*, however, seem to be slower than ...

Here is my output:

http://www.sigil.org/~sarumont/xglerrors

Looks like it is having issues with DRM (go figure). I will try taking it out of my kernel and post back in a few....


OT: ibbumpin: you using softmac or the dscape for your wireless? I can bring the card up with dscape, but iwconfig ...

Hey guys. I am trying the same on my iBook G4 with the Radeon 9200 Mobility. I have successfully gotten Xorg modular running with DRI (using the xf86-video-ati, not the kernel driver). Starting XGL and compiz, however, fails. I will post the output as soon as my revdep-rebuild finishes...libexpat ...

Oh yeah...you'll have to add to your /etc/portage/package.mask:
so that an emerge -auDv world doesn't try to overwrite what we did with the drivers.

OK...working now. Here's sorta what I did:

emerge =xorg-x11-6.8.99.15-r2 (not sure if this is required)
emerge nvidia-kernel
emerge -C nvidia-kernel
sh /path/to/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-7676-pkg2.run --extract-only
cd NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-7676-pkg2
patch -p0 < /path/to/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-7676 ...

You do exactly as he says. You'll have to emerge --unmerge nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx then do what the guide tells you. The OpenGL 32-bit compatibility doesn't install on my box, so I tell it to skip that.

Looks like this patch is supposed to fix it:

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=56150

Using that, my box just restarts itself rather than Black Screening. I'm going to play with it a bit more, and I'll report back if I figure anything out.

Someone finally stumbled upon a fix for this particular black/blank screen problem in the nVidia forums ( http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin )! Just enable the 'Execute Disable Function' for your cpu in the system BIOS. nVidia clearly needs to fix some code in their driver so this becomes a non-issue ...

I'm actually starting to think that this is a kernel problem, not an nVidia driver issue. Check this out from dmesg:

PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0 of device 0000:02:00.0
PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 3 of device 0000:04:00.0

and 0000:04:00.0 is my GT6600. Now when I check out ...

Just a thought...why not install gentoo from your RH9 installation?

Unfortunately, I'm not sure what disk I used when booting my proliant 5000. As I stated in PM, it got set aside once I found out that the HDDs were crapping out. I'll see if I can't dig it up this week and play.

Well, I got my new MSI motherboard and every single one of the issues I had before still exists. I have to guess at this point that the Intel CPU is to blame, it has to be since I've changed everything else already. This is very very frustrating.

Not a good idea. I'm running on dual AMD 246s and ...

Just wondering if either of you guys got any resolution on this? I have an issue that's probably the same but haven't had any luck over the past month or so fscking around with it.

Sorry, I don't see anything, offhand.

Hey, sarumont, did you know that, for use of the binary driver, you should specify nvidia, not nv, last I heard? :D

Yeah...sorry...that's my *current* xorg.conf. If you look at the default layout, you'll see that I specify the Screen using TwinView and ...

Here's my stuff. I don't see anything useful in the log, but ya never know. I'm pretty sure it's an issue with the 64-bit part here (maybe nvidia's driver...who knows). Maybe you can find something, though. 8)

To list what I've been through so far:

Nvidia-* 7xxx
All NvAGP options as well as RenderAccel false and HWCursor off
Non-smp 2.6.12
Commenting out Load "glx"
hotplug/coldplug (with PCI Hotplug Enabled in my kernel)

As per this thread (see the last post), it looks like it may be a ...

SMP isn't the culprit...Still not working here. I'll keep searching, though.

My specs:

2x Opteron 246s
Asus K8N-DL
2x1G Corsair ECC Registered PC3200
XFX GeForce 6600GT 128MB PCI-Express

I'm having the same issue as bl00mie. I've scoured the forums, but he's the only one I can find with this issue. I didn't have this issue on my AMD64 system, but now I've upgraded to a dual opteron system and get this hang. I think (now) that it may be related to SMP. I'll go compile a non-SMP ...

I just wanted to throw out my thanks to Darckness for all the effort he's putting into this. I just got a buddy to switch to wineCVS from cedega (rather than going through the whole making a Windows partition just for WoW thing). Everytime I hear about a WoW patch, I immediately head here to see ...

- Is there an automated way to create these "crucial" binary packages? I don't know of one for creating binary packages of curcial system packages only, at least automaticaly. On my computer I have FEATURES="buildpkg" in my make.conf so it makes binary packages of EVERYTHING I emerge. So if I ...
