I was getting ready to post about X on my hot backup machine suddenly |
2 |
not working. I had gotten various logfiles and diagnostics together. |
3 |
The last step was to compare xorg.conf files. My current desktop does |
4 |
not have an xorg.conf file. I renamed xorg.conf on the hot backup and |
5 |
ran startx to get a new log file with error output... and X started up |
6 |
just fine, thank you. |

My best guess is that the problem was due to a recent update to |
9 |
x11-base/xorg-server On both my systems it now requires USE="glamor". |
10 |
This may require changes to xorg.conf. On my main desktop, with no |
11 |
xorg.conf, X does the detection and configuration "auto-magically". The |
12 |
hot backup machine would have an old xorg.conf with old (i.e. wrong) |
13 |
settings for the updated xorg-server. |
