Re: [gentoo-amd64] Lost ability to log in graphically

[Jim Seymour]

Hi,

Thanks for the ideas so far. I had already tried startx and that fails and comes back to the command prompt. I have tried the re-emerging of the drivers and even gone as far as running ldd against X and another package I forgot the name of and re-emerged the packages that contained the files that it it linked against as well as re-emerging those packages. I too had run into the nvidia and kernel headers issue when I tried to downgrade the nvidia driver. That was the real reason I dropped back to the nv driver while I was sorting this out, I have all of the right pieces together to run the nvidia driver but want to keep that out if the mix for right now.

I have not tried the debugging setting or the new user. Off to try those now.

Thanks to all,

Jim
