Re: [gentoo-user] Login manager occasionally fails to show

[Alan Grimes]

Login manager?!?!?!!? Are you nuts?! I mean it almost makes sense as a 
concept but X11 is inherently unreliable and cannot be trusted to work 
at system bootup, the only solution is to boot to text mode, log in, and 
then start x11 (with the opportunity to switch to a secondary vterm and 
solve whatever issues crop up...). I have never attempted to use 
anything other than simple text-mode login in the last 20 years, and 
then when the system is up, just run it for several months without ever 
turning it off or making any change. I'm currently 51 days into a run 
without any attempt at system maintenence. The only issue I have is that 
the CPU frequency manager likes to clock my CPU down to about 550 mhz 
making the system unusably unresponsive despite low CPU temps and high 
load average. =\ I changed a kernel setting for user-space frequency 
management but have been too lazy to reboot.
