on 2.6.27-r5 here is the end of xorg log:
Code:
(**) Option "CustomKeycodes" "off"

but on 2.6.27-r7 here is the log output:
Code:

(**) Option "CustomKeycodes" "off"
(**) LaptopKeyBoard: CustomKeycodes disabled
(II) evaluating device (TouchPad)

I have ran modules-rebuild before the upgrade, what can be the reason of that?

No changed kernel settings? Did you forget to run `make modules_install' after compiling the kernel? And did modules-rebuild actually rebuild ati-drivers? Just the basic checks I'm sure you've already done, but just in case. I know I've missed silly things before.

Yes, if this is from a make oldconfig, then you've found a new bug. This is especially true if your last kernel was a .27 family version kernel.

Blessed be!

yes it is, will resetting the .config resolves it?
ok, say it is abug (I want to continue testing it) to whom do report it? kernel bugzilla?

just thought, I had no problem in 2.6.27-r6 but in 2.6.27-r7 I did, so I need to report it to gentoo bugzilla

now that is extremely odd, both with r6 and r7, when I boot x wont start and fall to console, but if after that I restart it from console, it works without any problem...

I would think not. If you moved using make oldconfig, then your .config should have only changed setup version and the file creation time stamp. Other than that, there should have been no change in the basic structure of the .config file. That means that there has been a change in the code, and it has introduced a bug.

You can use both Gentoo bugzilla and kernel.org's bugzilla as well. When you go to report the bug, you might find it's already been identified, and perhaps even fixed.

Blessed be!

I dont think there is a kernel bug. I have 2.6.27-r7 as of today as well and my xorg works fine, though i had to rebuild HALD and xorg-server.

I upgraded to xorg 7.4 recently, for now it is without hal support.
strangely, I had no problems with boot today, all worked fine

ok, I think it is related to the kernel some how, it happens after long shutdowns, I have an issue with my multimedia keys which starts working after a few minutes that my computer is on.
