I'm trying to finish up a fresh install of gentoo, and I've run into |
2 |
the following problem: when trying to start xdm, the screen turns |
3 |
black, flickers once, and the system freezes. According to the xdm |
4 |
log (attached) I get errors regarding AGP, sometimes xf86_EINVAL and |
5 |
sometimes xf86_ENODEV. I tried setting the permissions mask in my |
6 |
udev rules to 777, and now xdm starts up, but freezes on exit. |
7 |
Running startx both as root and as a normal user works fine, but xdm |
8 |
has problems. |

I've had this working before on the same hardware, using the same |
11 |
config. A different kernel; the working kernel was 2.6.11 whereas |
12 |
this is 2.6.12, but all the relevant kernel options (framebuffer, drm, |
13 |
etc) are the same. So far the forums and googling have yielded |
14 |
unhelpful results, except for the suggestion of changing the |
15 |
permissions, so I'm assuming I've done something boneheaded that |
16 |
perhaps the list will catch. Thanks in advance. |
