Gdm won't start!

[monkey_1]

Did you reinstall your X video driver?

[JohnY]

Yup, rebuilt all drivers, and mesa as the messages said after xorg-server compiled. Until I started gdm manually, xdm would start on every reboot.

Been running ~x86 since 2002.

xserver-1.8 does not user HAL.

You all do not have any idea of Gentoo, yet you're using the unsable branch. If you want to use the unstable packages do it on per package basis rather than specifying the complete unstable branch in make.conf by editing package.keywords.

People.

I've reinstalled the ewhole system.

Everything was doing fine (last 3 days), but then i did two things:

emerge --update world - that updated 2 files, wich i don't remeber wich they are.

emerge vlc

After reboot, gdm wont start again....

Here is some information:

How do i do to show the "emerge --update world" log ?

[kotviski]

I took a look here:

http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-823359.html

Thanks for your help.

Turns out i messed up with my makefile.
and installed xorg-server 1.8 ...

I reinstalled with 1.7.6 and everything is working 100% again

thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

How do i do it?

Maybe this is off-the-wall but the xorg.logs pointed me to a couple of questions:

1.) What version of acpid do you have installed?
2.) Is it running after booting completes?
3.) Is it designated to start in the boot runlevel?

Try

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/acpid status

for the answer to 2.) Your second-to-last posting suggests it is absent.

If acpid is not located in the boot runlevel, run

Code: Select all

rc-update add acpid boot

and reboot.

Sorry for the late answer.

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/acpid status
bash: /etc/init.d/acpid: Arquivo ou diretório não encontrado

-> Not found

Code: Select all

rc-update add acpid boot
 * rc-update: '/etc/init.d/acpid' not found; aborting

I installed and ran rc-update add acpid boot.

Rebooted, and has no effect

If it wasn't installed, something is definitely wrong, as you have the acpi-USE-flag set, as apparent from your emerge --info.

You have a hybrid laptop graphics card, haven't you? The VGA-arbiter line in Xorg.0.log suggests it, also you have two graphics adapters listed in your lspci.

As this is a new install, have you tried recompiling gdm (and xorg-server) because of acpi missing? Also [bug=295686]Bug #295686[/bug] could have something to do with this...
