1 FYI, this is fixed. I ran 'strace startx > startx.strace.out 2>&1' and
2 this showed;
3 /usr/bin/X: symbol lookup error:
4 /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so: undefined symbol:
5 GlxInitVisuals2D
6
7 Which means that i forget to eselect opengl set 1, though it wasn't
8 logged to Xorg.0.log (so it was logged to STDOUT, but i couldn't see
9 that as the screen was blank).
10
11 Then after fixing that;
12 which: no keychain in
13 (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.5.3)
14 /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 63: exec: xterm: not found
15 /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 61: xterm: command not found
16 xinit: connection to X server lost
17
18 So i emerged keychain and xterm and it now works. Of course i didn't
19 need xterm as i'm running gnome, so i could have just kicked that off
20 instead.
