That's just 1 suggestion: HTH. Not the case in this situation. True, when I did an emerge recently, it downloaded new kernel sources, but I haven't installed them yet. (This is because I am working on something that has a deadline and I've never updated the kernel in Gentoo before. Despite the fact that the Gentoo documentation is excellent, I don't want to risk making a "boo-boo" and then being at a point where I might have to spend days correcting my mistake.)

If I select to restart or turn off the computer, the computer will do neither. My monitor shuts down, but the computer itself neither restarts or shuts off depending on which selection I've made. i,v run into this problem few weeks ago too with no luck fixing it. yes, and sometimes shutdown from console fails too. only guess in list was - "It seems X f***s up your video memory, or something of this kind". Anyway should check forums and bugs for something similar. Well, I'm certainly not an authority here, but based on your comment, I do recall that when I did a recent update (either the emerge of Open Office 2.0 or the upgrade of MySQL), one of them changed some files that were related to X and QT (sorry, this isn't a very good description - I just saw the listing go by on the screen). At the end of the emerge, I got told that some configuration files in /etc had changed and what to do to find out out the files were. When I ran etc-update, it then gave me 3 choices regarding what to do -1, -3, and - -5. I chose the -3 options, which replaces the config files. However, even knowing this, and surmising that this might be the problem, I have no idea what to do to correct it.
