@krog
I have the same problems. What helps is to search the file kde4-base.eclass and comment out the line mentioning xorg there when compiling portage tree stuff.

We have set xorg-1.5.2 as minimum requirements because of many problems reported with the previous ones.
And as for the snapshots, we have removed them because of the rename of the tarballs by the upstream. We are now waiting for an answer from upstream.

Post by **asturm** » Sat Feb 14, 2009 4:15 pm

Everyone using KDE-4.2 should upgrade to xorg-x11-7.4 anyway.

Krog · Post by **Krog** » Sat Feb 14, 2009 5:50 pm

so now I must upgrade xorg... ok...

Could you elaborate? What issues were fixed in xorg-server 1.5.2? I'm using the KDE 4.2, xorg-server 1.3, nvidia-drivers 180.29 combo and everything seems to be working flawlessly.

so for me...
i tryed xorg 1.5.2 but didn't find an easy guide to configure mouse, keyboard andsynaptic touchpad.

Does the old xorg.conf not work with the new xserver?

neuron · Post by **neuron** » Sat Feb 14, 2009 8:45 pm

you shouldn't need to configure any input device, they are handled by hal.

And make sure you recompile your xorg drivers after xorg updates (as noted in most guides, and as an update message when updating xorg).

I just switched to qt-4.5.0-rc1 as well as to xorg-7.4 and the newest xorg-server in the tree. Now I have several issues:
1.) In kdm I get an English keyboard layout while normally (under kde itself) I have a German one.
2.) The akregator part in kontact does not remember which columns I want to have shown (Title, Author, Date, Source etc.) and which width I'd like them to have. Before the update, I in principal had the same issue, however I only had to tell akregator at the beginning of each session what to show. Now I can configure one feed, go to the next and all settings are gone again

3.) My synaptics touchpad does not support tapping anymore (the least concern, since I hardly ever use it).

I have to add another, very serious problem:

All the popup information, e.g. when a new message in kopete arrives, are not shown anymore. And an instant messenger which does not tell me, when I am getting a new message is quite senseless...

check .xsession-error when you get a msg, got a theory about knotify being broken on this one..

Concerning the xorg-update problems (which don't really belong in here, probably), I managed to get the keyboard stuff solved by copying /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi and changing the keyboard layout given there from us to de.
The touchpad still does not work as I want, though I searched the web and copied over the corresponding fdi file.

tampakrap · Post by **tampakrap** » Sun Feb 15, 2009 11:26 am

we got too many bug reports about composite problems that's why we decided to put xorg server 1.5.2 as dep.
I added the following line

Code: Select all

Option         "AllowEmptyInput" "false"

to the ServerLayout section of xorg.conf, and had to recompile xf86-input-{mouse,synaptics} because they weren't loaded (Xorg.0.log errors)

About this, I just changed the keyboard layout using the KDE GUI-based configuration tools.

Well my problem was nit really kde related but due to the switching to the new Xorg which recognizes all devices automatically using hal.

if you don't like what hal is doing after upgrading to xorg-server-1.5:

you can still use xorg.conf the old way and play configuring your touchpad/keyboardlayout in hal another day, just add into xorg.conf at Section "ServerFlags"

Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"

I had the same problem some time ago. Started with a complete clean .kdelive dir and it worked again (no clue why). It's worth a try.
