1 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:
12

56 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.
64
65 Anyone else have any suggestions?
