Everything else works, just the keyboard is hosed, and those keysym messages sure seem suspiciously coincidental. I did remerge things, and it made no apparent difference. You should have a /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so -- that's the dri module that your X can't find. It's a symlink on my machine because I have both the xorg and nvidia versions of opengl on my machine. The 'eselect opengl' function is what creates the symlink to the correct version of libdri.so. I have no libdri.so anywhere on my system. Eselect shows nvidia and xorg-x11; I tried both, it did change some symlinks, but never created one for libdri.so. I didn't see any ebuilds for that. I also didn't see any kernel modules for it. I also tried rebooting with 2.6.29-r5 and that made no difference. Is the 'ati' driver correct for your video card? Be sure to re-emerge that if it is truly the right driver for you. Yep, some kind of Radeon on this server. I figure my best bet is figure out when the last boot was and check emerge.log to see what changed since then. Maybe something will pop out and look likely. Or, when I get to work and have a GUI again, google around some. -- ... _._. ._ ._. . _._. ._. ___ .__ ._. . .__. ._ .. ._.

I have xorg- server-1.6.1.902 which installs these two (and of course much more): /usr/lib64/opengl/xorg-x11/extensions/libdri.so /usr/lib64/opengl/xorg-x11/extensions/libdri2.so When I use eselect to set the opengl version to xorg-x11, it sets a symlink: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so - /usr/lib64/opengl/xorg- x11/extensions/libdri.so* If you don't have these libs and links then I'd say as your first chore you should figure out why they're missing. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/dri-howto.xml DRI is a kernel option.

I see that for some ATI cards kernel support is needed, as you say. It doesn't seem to involve nvidia cards though. because nvidia has their own kernel modules. Now that you got me thinking, I notice that I have the dri USE flag set in make.conf, so that might be a consideration too. The DRM options were set in the kernel config. I started a make, but it won't do me any good until the end of the weeke when I get a chance to try that machine again. I also have dri in make.conf. Thanks for all your help. I'll try again end of the week and see what happens. -- ... _._. ._ ._. . _._. ._. ___ .__ ._. . .__. ._ .. ._.
