Hello Mick, |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I have a similar problem on a workstation. When I use the KDE4 menu |
| 13 |
to exit, the system seems to halt, but the mobo is still powered up. |
| 14 |
Upon reboot reiserfs fixes itself (hard reset). If I |
| 15 |
use "shutdown -h now" all is fine. Otherwise the system is fine. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I just assumed it was a kde4 problem, but, I have not drilled down further |
| 19 |
to locate the exact problem source. Between needing to reduce or eliminate |
| 20 |
xorg.conf and evdev, hal , kde4 and new kernels, I've definitely missed the |
| 21 |
boat..... as I manage dozens of gentoo boxes..... |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Anyway, I'll track it down eventually. Here's my info, in case it |
| 24 |
is similar to yours and hopefully helps you find the problem: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
kernel: 2.6.28-gentoo-r5 |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r6(20:59:56 05/25/09)((hal |
| 29 |
input_devices_evdev input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse |
| 30 |
input_devices_synaptics nptl sdl video_cards_radeon xorg |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
and from make.conf: |
| 33 |
VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev fglrx vesa" |
| 34 |
INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse joystick evdev" |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
I did switch the system from the radeon driver to |
| 38 |
x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.5.9.3 |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
I noticed my "radeon" entry in my xorg-server flags..(problem)...? |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
I'm not sure my problem is related to your, I hope |
| 43 |
posting here helps you solve your problem. Once yours |
| 44 |
is solved, it might give me feedback as to where to |
| 45 |
begin my search... |
