Hi everyone,

I searched the forum, but I did not find a topic bout that, my Gnome 2.2 is confronting me with a very strange behavior. It freezes after some seconds. No <ctrl><alt><backspace> works, even <ctrl><alt><del> for reboot does not work! The XFree log does not say anything about that. Can I see somewhere (in a log) what happens? The mouse still moves but I can not open the menu, nothing. The only chance I have is to shutdown my machine.

I had some problems getting my nvidia module to run, but fortunatelly I got rid of this problem with "opengl-update nvidia" (or something like that).

Did anyone here had the same problem? I do not want to reinstall my machine, cause I already did some days ago. Installed Gnome 2.4 (worked perfectly until I emerged some applications depending on packages for gnome 2.2) and the day before yesterday I reinstalled it again cause of "emerge --depclean"! Can plz anyone help help me with that?

Here is my XF86Config (I backed it up from the system before that one):

It looks like no one has an idea... too bad.

I tried to uncomment the module section,

Code:

Section "Module"

#   Load        "dbe"     # Double buffer extension

    SubSection  "extmod"
      Option    "omit xfree86-dga"   # don't initialise the DGA extension
    EndSubSection

#    Load        "type1"
#    Load        "freetype"
#    Load        "glx"

EndSection


did not help. When I run the x server without gnome, it works! Any known issues with gnome about that?

Ok, it seems like it has nothing to do with gnome. I emeged Kahakai and by starting that window manager I get the same "error". X server freezes after some seconds. With the major difference, that I can switch to another bash after some time. It's driveing me crazy!!! No one with the same prob or any suggestions?

So I will have to reinstall gentoo... unfortunatelly.
