Hi all,
In attempting to unlock some Python related mysteries (which neither
python-list nor python-help would respond to despite repeated queries),
I found myself recursively portupgrading myself right up the xorg
distribution. That wasn't half as bad as the fact that - after all that
effort - X does not even start now.
startx complains :
(EE) No devices detected.
Fatal server error:
no screens found
giving up.
xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
The Xorg log file says :
