 Posted: Fri Jan 01, 2010 9:52 am Post subject: X garbled after update |
 |
|
Last week I ran an emerge world and ended up with a garbled X after KDM. I'm running ~x86 with gentoo-sources-2.6.32 on my netbook and never had problems so far. Couldn't find any errors in xorg.0.log or any hints on what could be wrong.
I recompiled the kernel, emerged xorg, mesa and xf86-intel-video without solving the problem. Funny thing is that sometimes this error doesn't occur at all and sometimes a reboot or two helps to get to a normal desktop. |

With the newer xorg-servers it is important to emerge all x11-drivers after an upgrade. | Code: | | emerge -av $(qlist -IC x11-drivers) |

Quick question, can you try without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf since you use hal ?
Also, why do you still use the old method for your input device ? |

Yes, I've also thought about using no xorg.conf at all but was a bit unsure because of my resolution of 1024x600 and if xorg will detect it correctly.
What do you mean with old method regarding the input devices? |

| It is also possible that some config(s) in the $HOME/.kde4 folder have become incorrect. To test this hypothesis, I would create a new testuser and login to KDE4. |

I manage my keyboard with this :

<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys">
<merge key="input.x11_options.XkbRules" type="string">evdev</merge>

Thanks, just switched to a minimal xorg.conf and an input fdi file. My fdi folder was empty.
My xorg.conf still has to use a modes line because chances to get a normal resolution with it are just a bit higher.
It seems as though X tries to set the right resolution but can't. After the KDE splash screen the screen is black and when I move the mouse to the bottom the desktop flickers and looks like scaled to 1024x50. |

Hmm, yes. Will change that. But that's my backup xorg.conf now.
My new xorg.conf looks like this:

| And now, is this working or not, because your xorg.conf seems to be pretty clean to me. |

| No it doesn't. It seems to me as if xorg is unable to set the proper resolution. Ksplash works normally but swtiching to the desktop after Ksplash (I use autologin) brings up a black screen. The whole desktop is stretched at the bottom of the screen and only shows up when you move the mouse over it. |

And if you do this inside your /etc/X11/xorg.conf :
| Code: |
#SubSection "Display"
# Depth 24
# Modes "1024x600"
#EndSubSection
|
Comment that little section inside your xorg.conf and reboot your box. |

Today I synce again and did an upgrade world, swtched to kernel linux-2.6.33-rc2 and the four or five boots
I did today brought up the desktop flawlessly. I hope everything stays like this and guess that one of the steps above led to solve the problem. |

It often happens. A mismatch of kernel version
xorg-server version
video-driver version
So udgrading/downgrading one or more of those will fix the problem.
As long as it works as expected, all is well.  |
