When I type "startx" (no quotes of course): I should also mention that X does start with what I assume are some really ugly xterm windows.
But anyway, when I type "exit" in the xterm window, this is what I see after x shuts down.

I'm sure it's probably something silly, but any help would be greatly appreciated. Also is there any good reading (book) on this subject that some one would recommend? Never afraid to learn something new.
Thanks,
bruce.

Do you have Device Drivers -> Graphics Support -> Direct Rendering Manager enabled in your kernel? (You shouldn't.) Have you tried using aticonfig to generate your xorg.conf? If neither of these suggestions work, take a look at this wiki page.
Hope that helps. |

Thank you for the quick response.
I removed DRM from kernel config, recompiled, copied the new bZimage to /boot/kernel-2.6.27-gentoo-r5 and rebooted.
I tried running through the configuration steps on the above mentioned link up to the point of "Unable to modprobe fglrx" and got no errors along the way. But I still get the same output when exiting X. I will post my "/etc/conf.c/modules" file just in case someone might spot a mistake there.
| Code: |
# You can define a list modules for a specific kernel version,
# a released kernel version, a main kernel version or just a list.
#modules_2_6_23_gentoo_r5="ieee1394 ohci1394"
#modules_2_6_23="tun ieee1394"
#modules_2_6="tun"
#modules="ohci1394"
# You can give modules a different name when they load - the new name
# will also be used to pick arguments below.
#modules="dummy:dummy1"
# Give the modules some arguments if needed, per version if necessary.
#module_ieee1394_args="debug"
#module_ieee1394_args_2_6_23_gentoo_r5="ieee1394 ohci1394"
#module_ieee1394_args_2_6_23="tun ieee1394"
#module_ieee1394_args_2_6="tun"
# You should consult your kernel documentation and configuration
# for a list of modules and their options.
modules="agpgart"
module_agpgart_args="intel-agp"
modules="fglrx"

Thanks,
Bruce.

| Look at Section ServerLayout, you have extra 0 on the "Screen" line. |

don't autoload fglrx. It should be loaded by X on start. Please remove the PCI device line from xorg.conf. DRM does not hurt to be turned on. In fact this:
<M> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support) --->
won't hurt you

| I remember reading something on www.phoronix.com about AGP with R300 based adaptors being broken in current fglrx releases; you might want to look and ask in the forum over there. Your card should work fine with the opensource drivers though anyways. |
