unable to startx

Good evening!

I've been away from Gentoo for a very long time and I'm trying to set up 2 machines. My first install went well until I tried to start xfce. Here is the output of startx:

Rizz0-Built ~ # startx

So I'm incredibly rusty and I feel like a newbie again. KMS is enabled in the kernel so after that I am lost. Any and all your help is much appreciated!

edit: I forgot to post X -configure:

I have a feeling that the ATI and Radeon drivers are not working well together?

Hi,

Apart from running startx as a regular user, can you post /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
And lspci output ?

Alex.

FrankRizz0,

Running X as root is a very bad thing but its not your problem.

Also, that was after I took KMS out of my kernel.

I found an old topic that used fglrx as the driver and it worked, I changed my VIDEO_CARDS="fglrx", did emerge --changed-use --deep @world and still the same error.

No, that was not available in the kernel, and after that I had no idea what to do next so I skipped it. If this is what it takes to get my card going please post a how-to, thanks.

FrankRizz0,

You cannot set up the kernel to support both radeon and the ati binary blob.

Choose which one you will use and we can take it from there.
To have both drivers and switch between them requires two kernels - one for each driver.

Meanwhile, pick one.

Please install wgetpaste to post things like Xorg.0.log and your kernel .config

Hi Neddy,

I don't remember setting up the ati binary blob. I'd like to stick with the radeon drivers :-)

NeddySeagoon · Posted: Sun Oct 18, 2015 5:04 pm Post subject:

FrankRizz0,

The Wiki covers it fairly well.
There are three pieces.

You need all three pieces. To avoid complications with firmware, set <M> Radeon in the kernel.

Make friends with wgetpaste too. Your kernel config will not fit in a post and we may well be asking for it later.

[code=Xorg.0.log][ 185.321] (II) [KMS] drm report modesetting isn't supported.
[ 185.321] (EE) Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section.[/code]
tells that your kernel support is not correct.

Yeah I followed the wiki to install it, I will review how I built the kernel again, and I will also go through the xorg again. The firmware is just emerge. I'll let you guys know.

FrankRizz0,

Put your kernel .config file onto a pastebin site and tell us the link.

Rebuilt the kernel as instructed, but it still points to yesterday's build :-/

Edit: Not sure how to change it to today

FrankRizz0,

You messed up the kernel install.

Did you mount /boot ?
Did you update grub to see the new kernel?

No I did not update /boot or grub, I realized it this last time I was rebuilding the kernel.....I'll update you in a few

Edit: damn I'm rusty

Ok up and running, thanks Neddy

So I'm running into an issue that I have no idea how to fix. I installed KDE on my office system and the DM won't start. No idea how to fix this, I used the KDE wiki so if there's a step missing , that would be the only thing I could think of. Here's the Xorg log:

Trying to use KDE, just trying to startx. Not sure where to go from here.

NeddySeagoon · Posted: Wed Oct 28, 2015 6:57 pm Post subject:

FrankRizz0,

You need an ~/.xinitrc file that tells Xorg how to start KDE.

By default, Xorg vill try to run three xterms and an analogue clock in twm, but note of that is installed.
Type startkde at the shell prompt.

If that works. try

OK so it looks like I missed a step with KDE, and this was the error:

FrankRizz0,

Does KDE need systemd now ?
I thought it was only Gnome.
