> About three weeks ago my kde desktop started to get distorted and slow reacting. I decided to go ahead and reboot the computer. That was the last time I have been logged in graphically. I have since removed KDE and the nvidia-drivers and am now just trying to get it working with the nv drivers and xdm/twm. I do get a log in screen, however upon trying to log in the screen goes blank and eventually comes back to the login screen. Since I seem to be the only one having this issue, I assume I missed an important entry in the elog. I have the modeline (no X at all without a xorg.conf) set to the parameters parsed by the video driver. I am using evdev for the keyboard and mouse (they work fine). I have googled and searched the mail archives to see if anyone else has had the same issue recently and how it was resolved. For the past three weeks I have come up empty. There are no EE entries in the Xorg.0.log at this point. I am running the stable version amd64 |

The only worthwhile errors I can find is in the xdm.log are below. This is with a clean xdm.log, reboot, login attempt and then killing X with ctrl_alt_bkspc. |

As a very curious and probably unrelated report I did updates on my |
| 25 |
wife's machine last night. I did not reboot or restart X when I Was |
| 26 |
done. When she turned it on this morning X didn't work for her. |
| 27 |
Curiously it's the only nvidia machine here. |

In her case gdm was not starting so it's likely not the same thing you |
| 30 |
are seeing, but I got some messages that the nvidia driver was not |
| 31 |
matching the kernel. The kernel wanted 185 something, the new emerge |
| 32 |
had installed 190 something. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I masked everything above what's in portage right now for 185 + a |
| 35 |
little and reemerged the drivers and it started working again. |
