 Posted: Fri Mar 06, 2009 2:23 am Post subject: Strange Xorg/KDM bugs on a fresh install |
 |
|
Hi,
I made a fresh install of gentoo with kde 4.2 on my box. Now i have 2 very strange bugs:
If i use ctrl-c to copy things or stop a process in the konsole, the X session terminates and it will go back to the login screen.
I can only login one time with KDM. If i log out and i wann log in the screen goes black and then i am back at the login screen. If i reboot, i can login, but only once.
in the logs i doesn't find nothing about that, after hours of using google i wanna ask you for a tipp or solution of that problem, because they are really annoying.
some package versions:
kde-4.2.1
kdm-4.2.1
xorg-1.5.3

Of course I have no idea what is causing your problems, but I experienced similar ones and more when I upgraded to xorg-server-1.5.3 recently.
Here are some suggestions:
(1) Make sure that the use flag hal is included in /etc/make.conf.
(2) Make sure that you have emerged x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev
(3) Make sure that evdev is included in INPUT_DEVICES in /etc/make.conf
and then do emerge -auvDN world
(4) make a backup copy of your /etc/X11.xorg.conf and remove the original.
(With xorg-server-1.5.3, you should not need and xorg.conf. in fact unless xorg.conf is "just right" its presence may
degrade xorg performance.)
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-742730-highlight-.html
discusses some of the questions and problems concerning xorg-server-1.5.3. That topic also discusses ways to
use xorg-server-1.5.3 without evdev.
Hope this helps, but of course I do not know the source of your problems. |

I have the very same issue!
I have a dualseat workstation that was working perfectly fine with KDE 4.2.0 and Xorg 7.2 yesterday until the forced xorg upgrade. >
Ctrl-C will kill the X-session on the first seat and no one on that seat will be able to login again afterwards. Seems to work fine on the second seat, though.
Anyone have any ideas?

Xorg-server: 1.5.3-r2 (evdev for input, rq'd for multiseat)
KDE: 4.2.1
nvidia-drivers: 180.29 (2x Nvidia GF 7600 GS's with twinview enabled)
/usr/bin/X0 -br -nolisten tcp -layout Seat0 :0 vt7
/usr/bin/X1 -br -nolisten tcp -layout Seat1 -novtswitch -sharevts :1 |

Copying my Xorg config and starting xorg without a configuration file has solved all 2 problems.
but now, it don't uses my nvidia drivers |

hi,
I made a new X Config without the keyboard and mouse sections and alle works, it uses my nvidia drivers and the strange bugs are gone away, but i think that is only a workaround, not a really solution |

| Also, do you use the new hal + fdi + Xorg-Server 1.5 method to configure your keyboard and mouse etc... ? |

When I removed my xorg.conf, xorg-server also stopped using my nvidia drivers.
I managed to use the nvidia drivers AND the OLD keyboard and mouse drivers (this made the problems go away)
as follows:
(1) Add
x11-base/xorg-server -hal
to /etc/portage/package.use
(2) Make sure that the INPUT_DEVICES in /etc/make.conf includes "keyboard mouse"
Then run emerge -auvDN world
(3) Used the following as my xorg.conf
(Notes: (a) Using the old keyboard and mouse drivers rather than the evdev ones. (b) This is just my OLD xorg.conf
with | Quote: | | Option "backingstore" "False" |
in place of | Code: | | Option "backingstore" "True" |
Item (b) Seems to be required to make kde-4.2.x be stable.
This is what worked for me.
