borje2,

okay, now you have "display-manager" in runlevel "default" and after booting you

see some messages form kernel and some OpenRC Init-srcipts ? and THEN have a black screen ? OR imediately a black screen?

"In this" black screen: are you able to reach the terminal with ALT+F1 (or CTRL+ALT+F1) or another terminal with ALT+F2 (or CTRL+ALT+F2) ?

If yes: Please give us again the "dmesg" and /var/log/Xorg.0.log


Also: After you did the initial installation + installattion from X.11 and Kde/plasma, have you installed something else ? If yes, what ?

(I ask because you did the initial installation correct and after this you said you installed X.11 and Kde/plasma also the same way I had described ... and this must work out of the box ... if there are no special settings).

borje2,

In your Xorg.0.log you have

[borje2]

Neddy

in /etc/portage/make.conf
INPUT_DEVICE="libinput synaptics"

https://bpa.st/UTUA


Regards Borje

[pietinger]

borje2, you have been told what to do ... but of course it's your decision whether you do what you're told ...

You have two graphics cards in your computer: an Nvidia and the GPU of your Intel CPU.

I think: At the moment your kernel is using the GPU == loading the i915 module ... but you have configured X.11 for your Nividia (nouveau) ... and "synaptics" will give you problems also ... When I say "remove it", it has a reason.

If you want to use the Nvidia instead Intel, please read (and do) this: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Nouveau#Switching_between_Intel_GPU_and_Nouveau

but check this first: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Nouveau#NVIDIA_Optimus

I am sure @Neddy can help you further (because I am offline now).

NeddySeagoon

I have not

x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa-2.6.0 Installed

[NeddySeagoon]

borje2,

Left to the automatic detection, Xorg will start on a single display, with a right handed mouse and a USA keymap,
Make sure you can type your username and password on a USA keymap.
We probably both hate that equally.

[borje2]

NeddySeagoon

I delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and Xorg.0.log

after reboot Xorg.0.log was missing

/Borje

[borje2]

NeddySeagoon

after I startx I got Xorg.0.log

inteldriver

x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel not installed

We still have a problem with libinput in the xorg-log ... I suspect that we also have bad settings in portage, so DELETE all files in:
- /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords
- /etc/portage/package.env
- /etc/portage/package.mask
- /etc/portage/package.use

(really do it - if you are unsure MOVE the files into your /home)

Delete in your /etc/portage/make.conf the line "INPUT_DEVICES=..."

(yes, this line is not neccessary because this will result in you getting the default: INPUT_DEVICES=“libinput”)

Check again if you have VIDEO_CARDS=“intel” in your /etc/portage/make.conf

Try a world update with:

[borje2]

Ok Peter

I have delete the file in portage but
package.env I did not have

I have VIDEO_CARDS="intel"

now I am doing emerge -uNDv @world

/Borje

[borje2]

Peter now finish with installation

8 packet installed
11 package depclean

borje2,

great to hear that the world-update was working ... but we have no information from you IF you have now STILL problems OR if something works. It would be very kind of you to write a little more ...

Another thema: Your content of world-file ->

IF you emerge a package THEN it will be added to this file ... but you should not emerge packages which you would get automatically if you emerge other packages ... this can lead to problems in the future. If you really want (for testing) emerge a package which IS A DEPENDENCY of another package THEN use the parameter -1 (example: emerge -1vD x11-misc/sddm). So I suggest to clean up your world file ->

1. Make a backup: COPY it to your /home
2. a) Edit (yes this is dangerous and not recommended; because we have a command for this: "emerge --deselect PACKAGE") your world file and delete these lines:

borje2,

That better but
