4 I week or so ago, I thought I had my main system stable. it borked again.
5
6 So here is what I have now:
7
8 kernel : 2.6.28-gentoo-r5
9 gcc (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.2)
10 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 954f (ATI 4350)
11 kde 4.2.4
12 evdev 2.1.3
13 rc-status:
14 acpid dbus hald hotplug ivman
15
16 I'm using 'startx' to start kdm (xdm has been removed from rc auto
17 starting cause it hoses the system to where the ethernet does not even
18 work. It now boot, I long in on cosole and via ssh and all is fine
19 except the gui (X+kde4+evdev/hal/ati/....)
20
21 I've spent the better part of a week trying to get older
22 versions of ati-drivers & xorg-server working (failed)...
23
24 So I'm looking at the Xorg.0.log file to try to figure this out.
25 So. Here is what I have now:
26
27 ati-drivers-9.6
28 Missing digest for
29 '/usr/portage/sys-kernel/gentoo-sources/gentoo-sources-2.6.29-r6.ebuild'
30
31 NOT sure where this is coming from, as the latest kernel on the system
32 is linux-2.6.29-gentoo-r5 (maybe a newer kernel is needed)?
33
34 I'm running on 28.5 as it seem stable.
35
36 'emerge portage-utils; qlist -I -C x11-drivers/' has been ran.
37 as well as frequently.
38
39
40 HELP.....ideas as to what combo will work for me?
