Problems with X shutting down.

[alexsb]

Hi,

I have just switched from XFree to Xorg and from Kernel 2.6.1 to 2.6.8.1.
At first everything worked just fine.

But since emerge the latest Base Layouts I can no longer shut down my computer. It simply hangs shortly after the shutdown command, with the mouse cursor still visible.

This happens with KDE as well as with the Fluxbox.

I chekced Xorg.o.log, but I dont see anything suspicious.

I don't really know where to start looking, so I would be thankfull for any help!

Greetings,

Alex

Try shutdown X before halting the system, or halt the system from vc/1. If you do you can see the error messages and it will be more posible to understand whats wrong

I can't shutdown x, I can't kill x (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace), i can't switch to any consle. All of this leads to a total crash.

I somewhat solved the problem by doing global updates, now it is quite different.

I can no longer log in using KDM as user. root can log in. I can start kde from the console as user as well.

I should have all the rights. Once again, its no KDE Problem, same for Fluxbox.
