 Posted: Mon Sep 17, 2007 6:28 pm Post subject: Xorg only works the first time, locks up if I run it again |
 |
|
I have a fresh installation of gentoo on a new computer. It ran memtest for 15 hours without error.
When I load X from a fresh boot everything works great. If I quit X, I get dropped back to the console but everything is blurry and not centered correctly, the bottom of the image is somewhere below the bottom of my screen.
If at this point I do startx again, X appears to load but the screen just flickers and then blanks. If I ssh into the box it still appears to be running fine. Xorg.log doesn't show anything unusual as far as I can tell.
I have not figured out how to get the display back other than rebooting the machine.

| When you quit X, what exactly do you do? I would guess that X fails to start the second time because a server instance is detected. Can you start X with a different display number? |

I am using Xfce4, and I just use the "Quit" button on the panel.
I will try that next time I quit X, but how would that explain the graphical corruption? |

you could try specifying modes of screen resolutions in the xorg.conf
the default found may be maximum for your monitor driver.
reffer the xorg.conf.example

| Could you check logs (xorg and messages) as well? |

Do you use a frame buffer ?
I ran into some problems if I did a /etc/init.d/xdm restart" w/ a frame buffer, however w/o a frame buffer my problems went away. |

| I rebooted without using framebuffer and it all works fine now. I was just using the standard vesa one. I tried using the nvidia framebuffer driver but that did not work at all. |
