Problem:Since my most recent emerge -autDN world, startx no longer starts up fvwm.

My fvwm configuration file is located at ~/.fvwm/config
I noticed that there are a number of modules that are not loading, could that be preventing fvwm loading? To me it does not even seem like there is any attempt at all to load fvwm. It is as if my /etc/rc.conf xession variable is being ignored.
Sincerely,
dustfinger

There could be kernel issues (maybe too many sata drivers enabled - not sure) regarding: | Code: | | (EE) ioctl EVIOCGNAME failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device |
Maybe take a ride to Pappy's Kernel Seeds for assistance with that.
Also I read about somebody else not getting the new xinit to respond to XSESSION
You might try something more like this: | Code: | ~ # echo XSESSION="fvwm" > /etc/env.d/90xsession
~ # env-update && source /etc/profile |
You can check the postinst messages about this issue with eread if you have app-portage/gentoolkit installed. |

To Mike,
/etc/env.d/90xsession does not exist on my system. I also noticed the Inappropriate ioctl for device error message. I am going to start investigating each issue. I don't know that they are actually related though. I was hoping to get the fvwm not starting issue sorted out first, since the default windows manager is not that nice of an environment to work in.
Sincerely,
dustfinger.

I managed to get rid of most of the errors from /var/log/Xorg.0.log

I am not sure why I get the dri errors. I don't have the dri use flag set and I am not loading the dri module in my xorg.conf.
I still have not got fvwm to start with startx again, but I have been spending most of my time working on resolving some of these other issues.
Sincerely,
dustfinger.

| Nice, the xorg tries to autoload dri modules even if they are non-existent or in the case of nvidia which uses it's own dri stuff, so you can safely ignore that, no problem. |

I did the following to get fvwm to start again when running startx.
# sudo touch /etc/env.d/90xsession
# sudo nano -w /etc/env.d/90xsession
Then I added the line
XSESSION="fvwm2"
The next time I ran startx fvwm was loaded.

I just went through this last week myself. In my situation, adding the 90xsession file alone wasn't enough, and I also had to run an `env-update && source /etc/profile`. |

You can stop the dri, dri2 errors by adding
| Code: | Disable "dri"
Disable "dri2" |
to Section "Module" of your xorg.conf  |
