 |

Hi folks,
I tried to install xorg-x11-6.8.1.901 (in fact it was automaticly installed by a emerge -u world using the ~ppc flag) on my iBook2.
After reboot x was not starting any longer...
I updated my kernel and recompiled x.org but still no success
No errors in Xorg.0.log or /var/log/messages or dmesg
It took me very long to figure out that there was nothing wrong with the kernel (actually fbdev was sort of working with xorg-x11-6.8.1-902, but that's not what I want, startx did not work at this point, but I thought it was because of the unstable package) and switched back to xorg-x11-6.7.0-r3
now, startx just produces the "normal" output then a quick flicker on the screen and then back in console a "waiting for X server to shut down" as if everything is alright
I tried "Xorg" and the X-Server was up. A "kdeinit & startkde" starts kde just fine. Everything is working, even dri and glx.
So this couldn't be xorg.conf related or neither a x.org problem but some bug in startx?
I can live with the situation because I hardly reboot the iBook and everything is working fine, but this _is_ strange
/usr/X11R6/bin/startx (i didn't modifed it):

# This is just a sample implementation of a slightly less primitive
# interface than xinit. It looks for user .xinitrc and .xserverrc
# files, then system xinitrc and xserverrc files, else lets xinit choose
# its default. The system xinitrc should probably do things like check
# for .Xresources files and merge them in, startup up a window manager,
# and pop a clock and serveral xterms.

# Site administrators are STRONGLY urged to write nicer versions.

Initially XSESSION in /etc/rc.conf was kde-3.3.2 but I changed that to Xsession because I thought it might be a kde problem.

starts needs $HOME/.xinitrc. What does yours point it?

| Code: | | export XPSERVERLIST="`/bin/sh /usr/sbin/xprint get_xpserverlist`" |
/usr/sbin/xprint does not seem to exist...
this could be the reason why there is nothing happening at all
I looked through my backups and found out that a couple of days ago the file was not there
So I deleted it and startx is working again
Thanks a lot |
