Whooops ... I mislead any prespective readers. It turns out even my regular user cannot startx. Its been a while since I left X or rebooted so I just assumbed the regular user could still startx. NOT SO... I see several x11 related items were installed recently in updates. reader > qlop --list|grep ' Jul '|grep x11 Sat Jul 4 08:22:29 2009 >>> x11-misc/util-macros-1.2.2 Sat Jul 4 08:23:25 2009 >>> x11-proto/inputproto-1.5.1 Sat Jul 4 08:23:37 2009 >>> x11-proto/dri2proto-2.1 Sat Jul 4 08:24:04 2009 >>> x11-apps/xfs-1.1.0-r1 Sat Jul 4 08:24:25 2009 >>> x11-libs/libXinerama-1.0.3 Sat Jul 4 08:29:53 2009 >>> x11-misc/xkeyboard-config-1.6 Sat Jul 4 08:41:05 2009 >>> x11-proto/glproto-1.4.10 Sat Jul 4 08:50:49 2009 >>> x11-libs/cairo-1.8.8 Sat Jul 4 08:54:21 2009 >>> x11-libs/pango-1.24.3 Sat Jul 4 09:40:38 2009 >>> x11-base/xorg-server-1.6.1.902 Sat Jul 4 09:42:44 2009 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.2.2 Tue Jul 14 08:22:54 2009 >>> x11-libs/pango-1.24.4 Tue Jul 14 11:19:40 2009 >>> x11-base/xorg-server-1.6.2-r1 Some of them matching the things I got errors about.. kbd input and 2 versions of the full server itself. Has anyone else noticed problems with X in recent updates? I'm backing up xorg-server to pre 1.6.1.902 to see it that does any good but have a hunch it will involve more reinstalls than that.
