I am also having trouble running X when i upgraded to X 6.8.1
not really having troubles starting, I Have troubles with gl acceleration (mainly the fglrx ati driver) everytime i use sth that uses fglrx, the system freezes, or x11 kicks me back out to the login screen... here is what i get in syslog... Code:
Nov 22 23:38:59 DarkAngel kdm[3739]: X server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly |
did you remember to install libidn? it's required by X.org 6.8.x... won't be included in a pkgupgrade you have to installpkg it, personally I use slapt-get for maintaining my current packages
also: cythrawll, X.org 6.8.1 and ATI's fglrx driver are incompatible, you must use X.org 6.7 if you wish to use the fglrx driver |
can i use upgradepkg to roll back? or ami gonna have to removepkg, installpkg everything?
|
I think u can use upgradepkg to rollback.
just to be sure do: Code:
upgradepkg xorg-6.8.1*%xorg-6.7* |
good question, and the answer is... I dunno...
after tinkering around and finding that nothing I did could make the fglrx drivers work, I used pkgtool to remove the packages and re-installed the X packages from my slack 10 cd (no X running, of course :D ) |
Compaq s5000 here.
same stuff on mine. i had to rerun xorgconfig from the console, then vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf and do a fresh hack of the new file, just as if you and just completed a brand new OS install.
double check your /etc/inittab, and reboot. hope it works. i about went crazy until i hit on it. -O. |
