[gentoo-user] [urgent] X11 fails after reboot (using a new X11)
Hi, after reboot X11 fails with (II) Initializing extension GLX (EE) config/hal: couldn't initialise context: (null) ((null)) I have x11-base/xorg-x11-7.4 x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r1 installed on a x86-64 machine. Has anybody an idea what's going on? Many thanks for your help, Helmut. -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany

Now, I have reinstalled x11-base/xorg-server after adding 'hal' to my /etc/make.conf But probably there are further x11 packages which need to be reemerged. But on an another machine I'm running these x11 versions without 'hal'. So, there must be a different cause of the problem.

Maybe try emerge -uvDNp world and see if the USE flags are changed. If they have, remove the p and let it rebuild. The -N is the big part here. Dale :-) :-)

I have
x11-base/xorg-x11-7.4
x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r1
installed on a x86-64 machine.
Has anybody an idea what's going on?
Many thanks for your help,
Helmut.

Installed versions: 1.5.3-r1(09:46:41 01/29/09)(hal input_devices_evdev
input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse ipv6 nptl sdl video_cards_nv xorg
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-180.22
if you are using the closed source drivers, you should add nvidia
instead of nv to your ${VIDEO_CARDS} in the make.conf
I vaguely remember having removed the 'hal' use flag for some time.
Now, I have reinstalled x11-base/xorg-server after adding 'hal' to my
/etc/make.conf
be sure the hald is running before starting the X.
But probably there are further x11 packages which need to be reemerged.
But on an another machine I'm running these x11 versions without 'hal'.
So, there must be a different cause of the problem.
Thanks,
Helmut.
Never test packages if it is urgent to recover a working state, ;)!
P.s. past your xorg.conf, just to be sure that there is now problem

The snag here is that the change became visible pnly after rebooting or restarting X11, at least. But there were some long running applications on this 8-core machine, so I couldn't try. Thanks for all your help, I'm trying to find the source of the problem, Helmut. -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany
