Hi guys,

having been running months and months on Xorg 7.2 with my mactel box using fglrx I suddenly find this morning that I can't start X!

I am getting the error:

Check which version of xorg-server u have

stardotstar · Posted: Tue Apr 24, 2007 10:39 pm Post subject:

OK correct:

equery which xorg-server
/usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0.ebuild

emerge -p xorg-server

[ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0

so... do I have to reselect the version of the server I am running?? what has happened here, given that it was all working prior to my last emerge update (I can only think that that was when it all changed.)

I'm trying an emerge -C xorg-server and emerge xorg-x11 again to see what happens - doubt it;ll be any diff..

Yes recently the xorg-server1.3 was released which is marked unstable but still many people like me use it
and it has some problems with problems with ati drivers i think becoz of changed versioning
There is a workaround for this in the forums.
U either have to go to the previous versions or use this workaround
