Earlier tonight I changed the setting in /etc/conf.d/rc for the RC_DEVICE_TARBALL from "yes" to "no" and rebooted. Now I can't get into GNOME. For my personal account after I enter my username/password the screen clears and I see the default background color and my mouse pointer, then nothing else. I can move the mouse pointer, but there's nothing the click on and the context menu doesn't come up when I right-click. When I tried to log in as root from the welcome screen I see the "GNOME Starting" box with the Gentoo logo, but it never goes on from that. To get out of both my personal account and the root account I had to Alt+Cntrl+Backspace. I got a Failsafe Terminal and looked at the log files for gdm and saw this:
(EE) GARTInit: Unable to open /dev/agpgart (No such file or directory) There are five log files in /var/log/gdm; they all say roughly the same thing, and their timestamps are consistent with the times I tried to log in and got stuck. I can't even find out why it's looking for this file or how to make it stop looking for it. Can anyone help me out here? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
