Hi,
I have a raspberry pi4 with a recent install of gentoo.
After running for about 2 weeks, I rebooted it and the GUI did not start.

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log

| Code: |
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/Module.conf
Section "Module"
Load "vnc"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Option "SecurityTypes "none"
EndSection
|
Evidently there is an error in Module.conf. I was trying to get vnc to work and modified Module.conf. I am not sure of the original configuration of Module.conf.
I found the error. Changed Module.conf to this:
| Code: |
cat Module.conf
Section "Module"
Load "vnc"
EndSection
#Section "Screen"
#Option "SecurityTypes "none"
#EndSection
|
Now X windows boots up.
Thanks,
