No. X starts now. But "glxgears" segfaults. > How are you starting the X server? Does it still crash if > you run just "X :0"? I type "startx". X :0 just gives me (as you probably already know) a "checker-board" backdrop and a cursor. Can't do anything else with it. > Take the most recent version of nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx > (~x86) and > take a look at /etc/modules.d/nvidia. There something about a > module-option for notebook systems. Tried various ways with and without this option enabled. However, it says that's to solve "hard lock ups". I don't have that problem. X starts, then just dies (if I have the wrong combination of eselect/glx). It's definitely related to OpenGL now... Tried rebooting after a few different option/tweaks just to be sure too. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
