Re: [gentoo-user] shutdown, restart problem
when xserver closes there is mess on screen and i loose any control over - just power button. Any ideas where to look? I dont keep track but possibly this is after baselayout and udev upgrade. Hmm. It seems X f***s up your video memory, or something of this kind. What video card and corresponding Xorg driver are you using? m. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Do you have a laptop? What display driver are you using for X? Are you using a framebuffer console? I suspect it may be your X driver conflicting with your framebuffer driver.

Do you mean xorg error logs and /var/log/messages say nothing? yes, logs has nothing relevant to any shutdown tasks when xserver closes there is mess on screen and i loose any control over - just power button. Any ideas where to look? I dont keep track but possibly this is after baselayout and udev upgrade. What happens if you try to switch to a console with your xserver still open? Anyway you can halt from inside X... i can do that, and i can switch back. ok, ill try halt from console, not kdm or gdm provided shutdown and restart. i did revdep-rebuild but there nothing important, just imagemagic and k3b martins -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
