Re: [gentoo-user] 2.6.0-test9 X Windows lockup

Ok, I've looked at it a bit more.
Redirecting XFree86's error output gives nothing.

The XFree86 log is ---weird--- .
There must be a massive memory scribble happening.

Since I've been working on this, I've lost my mouse even under 2.4, so I think it has written over disk  buffers as well.

Bug 34144 has been opened.

I suggest you monitor it. Meanwhile, I suggest you don't try to use test9 and X, unless you like to reformat and reinstall.
Better safe than sorry.

I have had the exact same problem.

I've tried numerous re-installs with various options (multilib,
threads, -multilib, -threads etc etc)

If you discover a solution *please* let me know.

btw, I am on an opteron system...hence the multilib use flag

Hello,
test9 works fine for me in text mode, but if i run 'startx'
or even 'XFree86 -probeonly' the system hard locks.

/proc /sys /dev/pts, dev/shm and devfs are mounted.
I'm not using the nvidia driver.

I am using the ~x86 features.

I reeemerged glibc (no nplt threads) and XFree and xfs.
I'm stumped.

Any ideas anyone?

Regards

Dad
