Re: [gentoo-user] Blank screen in X, no errors in Xorg.log
FYI, this is fixed. I ran 'strace startx startx.strace.out 21' and this showed; /usr/bin/X: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so: undefined symbol: GlxInitVisuals2D Which means that i forget to eselect opengl set 1, though it wasn't logged to Xorg.0.log (so it was logged to STDOUT, but i couldn't see that as the screen was blank). Then after fixing that; which: no keychain in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.5.3) /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 63: exec: xterm: not found /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 61: xterm: command not found xinit: connection to X server lost So i emerged keychain and xterm and it now works. Of course i didn't need xterm as i'm running gnome, so i could have just kicked that off instead.

The default xinitrc or something starts twm, xterm and xclock or something like that, that's normal behavior for first time X.org users. You can toggle that to your needs, or you emerge gnome and add gdm to your default runlevel, and forget about startx. About what kernel configurations you have to check and what you have to make sure to not have checked, you can see it here: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Fglrx You'll want to disable everything related to DRM, basically.

Try with this simplified xorg.conf: Section Device Identifier aticonfig-Device[0]-0 Driver fglrx #Driver radeon EndSection You can toggle video drivers also and tell what happened. By the way, you realise you also need to setup correct kernel modules and disable conflicting ones when changing from fglrx to radeon, right? Claudio Roberto França Pereira (a.k.a.

Re: [gentoo-user] Blank screen in X, no errors in Xorg.log
By the way, you realise you also need to setup correct kernel modules and disable conflicting ones when changing from fglrx to radeon, right? Really - i thought changing the X driver was all that was required. Is that do with with KMS? Anyway, i think i'll focus on just using fglrx as its what i use successfully on my laptop.
