First of all, X fails to restart *only* after logging out of kde-4.3.0, it does start fine for the first time and also works fine wih gnome again and again. (Happens with both kdm and gdm. Btw, I log in as root :p.) |
The X failing to restart on logout thing seems to be an issue with the default logout effect when desktop effects are enabled. A workaround is to disable desktop effects before logging out, or to set TerminateServer=true in /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc (if kdm is your login manager).
It used to be possible to simply disable the logout effect, but that setting no longer seems to work in 4.3.0. |

- check for the presence of /etc/dbus-1 and /etc/hal. If they exist, move them to a safe place (clears any leftover bad files).
- delete /var/run/hald.pid and /var/run/dbus.pid (if they exist, this allows hal and dbus to restart normally if this is a pid-related issue).
- emerge -av1 the list of packages in equery.txt (these include dbus and hal)
- (optional) move your hand-crafted .fdi files back under /etc/hal so your keyboard/other hardware work correctly.
- rc-update add dbus default && rc-update add hald default (in case there was an issue there).
- /etc/init.d/dbus start (restarts your should-be-fixed dbus).
- if this fails, post your /var/log/dmesg and /var/log/Xorg.0.log files, and we'll go from there.

But I suggest you add this step, gleaned from elsewhere in this thread...
| Code: | 8a. Copy the the misplaced xorg-server dbus file into the right place:
cp /etc/X11/dbus-1/system.d/xorg-server.conf /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ |
|
Following this advice got me going. One little thing to add: I had xf86-input-evdev, xf86-input-keyboard and xf86-input-mouse installed. previously, that worked just fine. After the upgrade, every event was sent twice. I unmerged evdev, and now X seems to work just fine.
Thanks! |

I have got the same problem:
| Code: | [config/dbus] couldn't take over org.x.config: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied (Connection ":1.0" is not allowed to own the service "org.x.config.display0" due to security policies in the configuration file)
(EE) config/hal: couldn't initialise context: unknown error (null) |
So, what is the finnal solution to fix it? Any one from above doesn't work for me...
It is a bug or something wrong with the configuration? |

Post the results of emerge --info and your /etc/group file.
Blessed be!

|
|
Hello!
This might be a different issue but it is related to xorg-server-1.6.3 / hql / dbus configuration so I'm posting it here:
I followed the gentoo-wiki GMA guide and installed xorg-server-1.6.3, gentoo-sources-2.6.30-r4 and upgraded dbus to
v 1.3.0 as well as hal to v 0.5.11-r9 (both ~x86).
I copied over the xorg-server.conf as mentioned in the posts above. Xorg-server runs with the hal useflag, I've got
xf86 packages such as evdev, synaptics, keyboard and mouse recompiled after the server-update.
Anyhow, when I type startx (I'm not using any kind of login manager) the screen blanks and all I see is a dash on the left
upper corner. I need to hard-reset my laptop then.
Xorg-log show weird things ( I can not paste it here since I'm on a different machine, but the file starts wit[
the user. When this call is made, the viewer already has received all of the pixel information (at full unscaled resolution).
</p> <p> the scaling is vnc primitive....)
and so on.
Everything worked fine under xorg-server-1.5.0
In my xorg-conf I disabled dri and glx in order to exclude these potential error sources.
I have dbe enabled.
Do I for instance need to edit xorg-server.conf in any way or disable fb-support on the console?
Any help greatly appreciated! |

Post the results of lspci -n so we can at least figure out what kind of machine you're using.
Blessed be!

Considering what you have, you might want to try a .27 kernel. If you are already using one, then there is an issue taking that older GPU up to xorg-server-1.6.3. Considering all the changes in drivers and the kernel, the i810 GPU has become the bastard Linux stepchild.
Blessed be!
