 Posted: Sun Aug 27, 2006 6:58 pm Post subject: Gnome -sometimes- freezes during load |
 |
|
Hello
I have installed Gentoo on my laptop and when it works, it works very well. (Apart from the sound...but that's another, much less irritating problem).
My problem is this: Some of the time, when I attempt to log into Gnome, it gets about half way, and then stops. (The desktop backround appears, but no icons or panels). Killing X and restarting doesn't help, although about 1 time in 4 Gnome will, seemingly at random, fully load and I am left with a completely working Gnome desktop.
My best guess is this may be a conflict of some sort with the ATI drivers, which I have installed according to the Gentoo guide and wiki and which work fine, but I have no proof of this.
I would obviously appreciate all the suggestions people may have, especially advice on logs etc which may contain relevant errors and help diagnose the problem. Thanks in advance.
Laptop specs and xorg.conf follow:
Laptop:
Acer aspire 1650
Intel pentium M
ATI x1300 mobility graphics
(Intel HDA sound...)

| Interesting, I have the exact same thing going on on my ASUS A6Vc laptop. I think it started after I added ssh-add to my startup programs. I also vaguely remember I had this on my desktop but I might be mistaken. I have an nvidia videocard so I suspect this isn't related to your ATI card. I'll post some of my system specs when I have more time tomorrow. |
