Have you installed mesa? Otherwise I suspect an nvidia issue - but I have never used nvidia to know what to look for. PS. Make sure you reboot or restart dbus/hald after you finish emerging and configuring xorg and x11-drivers. HTH. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

[gentoo-user] Slim hassle...to login or not to login
Hi, while installing a new system from ground up on my new harddisc I came accross a silly problem: I have setup X and slim as login manager. I installed openbox (no kde/gnome) as session manager. Slim starts...and: The keyboard and the mouse are not responding... Same happens when I start plain X as root. Screen remains black and I have to use the sysreq-keys to get my box back to normal... The X-logfile shows as only Error, that the GLX-module could not be found. I am using nvidia-drivers and reinstalled them as adviced but the effect remains the same. hald is running. fonts are installed (at least the default ones). Also installed are: x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev Generic Linux input driver x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard Keyboard input driver x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse X.Org driver for mouse input devices eselect opengl set nvidia is done. What is missing? Why dies this not work (my old system running on the same hardware using the same setup in principle has no problem at all with X/Openbox. Why does X only half??? Thank you very much in advance for any help! Best regards, mcc -- Please don't send me any Word- or Powerpoint-Attachments unless it's absolutely neccessary. - Send simply Text.
