The solution for me was to downgrade to =x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.21.15 (currently latest stable version).
Re: [gentoo-user] Do I require static nodes?
2013/11/27 Chris Stankevitz chrisstankev...@gmail.com Hello, Portage recently told me this: * You need to add kmod-static-nodes to the sysinit runlevel for * kernel modules to have required static nodes! * Run this command: * rc-update add kmod-static-nodes sysinit Will you please help me parse this statement? Interpretation A: * You need to add kmod-static-nodes to the sysinit runlevel Interpretation B: * If your kernel modules require static nodes, then you need to add * kmod-static-nodes to the sysinit runlevel Q1: Is it A or B (or C...)? Q2: If it's B, then how do I determine whether or not my kernel modules require static nodes? I also had trouble to interpret the message and because I was lazy I just added the kmod-static-nodes to the sysinit runlevel. After searching a bit I found that this was added due to bug #477856, but reading this as well as the release notes for kmod I am still not sure if this is needed in any case or just if there is a modular kernel etc. I am cc'ing one of the kmod maintainers maybe he can explain what is meant exactly. @Samuli: You have added the elog message to kmod-14-r1. Can you please give some more information about when kmod-static-nodes is required to be in the sysinit runlevel? Thanks in advance. -- Regards Daniel Pielmeier
