I have this very strange problem on my old laptop (12+ years... maybe |
2 |
it's just dying now...) |
3 |
|
4 |
When starting up, I have sddm configured to start up. But, it doesn't... |
5 |
it just sits there. If I log on as root, the X server immediately starts up. |
6 |
|
7 |
I'm aware of the suid issue on xorg-server. I've compiled with the +suid |
8 |
flag with no difference. I've tried the non-root setup, no difference. |
9 |
|
10 |
From the logs, X starts, says it's switching VTs then some seconds |
11 |
later it shuts down, nothing in the logs at all: |

It *always* fails on the first boot. This had been working before. When |
57 |
Xorg fails to start sddm doesn't even write anything to the its own log |
58 |
file. |
59 |
|
60 |
I've tried `emerge -e @world` as sometime it can fix bizarre problems |
61 |
such as this one, had no luck... |
62 |
|
63 |
I've attached the two log files. |

|
65 |
Anyone else have any suggestions? |
