startx dies "XIO: fatal IO error 104"

[Jomomomo]

Hi folks

Could use some extra brain power here. I've followed the gentoo install guide as close as possible.

I can't get KDE to work. I emerge'd it according to the desktop install guide, I ran xf86config

startx died into a blank screen

I modified XF86Config

startx died into a blank screen

So I emerged NVidia drivers, modified XF86Config use it (I've done that before on a Redhat system)

startx dies into a blank screen.

Here's the most recent run:

newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/)

I've google'd the heck out of "XIO: fatal IO error 104" and haven't found much.

Any ideas?

Hi, thought my keyboard stuck mmmm ?

Go to desktop environments forum, close to top of list is good info on Nvidia drivers.

Has been other insights on related item also - if this no cure, try a quick forum search.

If need be, can try to show how to use ( Yech ) frame buffer device.

That should avoid repower boots until Nv working .
