Dear all, ======= Short version: If you upgrade to xorg-x11-7.4, xorg-server-1.5 and xf86-video-i810-2.4.2-r1, and X does not start, change Section "Device" Driver "i810" to "intel" in your xorg.conf. Would have been nice if Portage had informed us of this.
If nothing else works, revert to "vesa" (or "vga") and start searching the Net. ======= Long version: Yesterday I upgraded (--deep) my Xorg to xorg-x11-7.4, hence xorg-server-1.5. Upon reboot X would not start. First it complained of missing drivers, and to get rid of these errors I simply commented these lines in xorg.conf: # Load "xtrap" # Load "record" # Load "type1" However, X still refuses to start. I figured, at least I think that the problem was in the Device driver: "i810". =x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810-2.4.2-r1 refuses to detect about anything (also checked with dmesg). I used "vesa" as a joker, and to my surprise X started. But I'd much like to switch to the i810 one. I tried rebuilding xf86-video-i810, but it brought nothing new. I tried downgrading to stable versions (1.6.5, 1.7.4 and 2.1.1), or unstable (2.2.1), but the driver would simply not compile. I did manage to compile 2.3.2, but I see the same behaviour as with 2.4.2-r1. "(EE) No devices detected. Fatal server error: no screens found giving up. xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): unexpected signal 2." When loading X with "vesa", I still get some non-fatal errors: "error setting MTRR (base = 0xf0000000, size = 0x01fd0000, type = 1) Invalid argument (22) (EE) TouchPad no synaptics touchpad detected and no repeater device (EE) TouchPad Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.
