I'm using Kernel 2.6.18 , so the 1st thing to try is a kernel update. Make sure you check the ACPI section when configuring it recompile the Nvidia drivers for the new kernel. -- ,, SUPPORT ___//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban Community Studies TRANSIT`-O--O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Help! Xorg broken!
Hello, The error regarding the /var/run/acpid.socket means that you don't have acpid installed, nor running. I don't know if the fault has something to do with that. It may be a good idea to emerge sys-power/acpid and add it to your default runlevel: rc-update add acpid default Also, add Option UseEDID false to your xorg.conf under the nVidia Device section. It fixes a lot of issues. - Neil On 19:42 Mon 16 Oct , Jeff Cranmer wrote: Hi, I am running gentoo kernel 2.6.15-r1 I recently updated xorg, and installed the new nvidia-drivers package.
