And another strange thing is that text input cursor stuck in the middle of the screen, but no X-related processes are running! And I cannot get rid of it until reboot
Logs do not show any errors (drivers and xorg-server compiled with debug option)
Distro: Gentoo, kernel 2.6.28-r2, latest ATI-drivers installed, card ATI HD 2600
This is just a wild guess but I use the fglrx driver also but I remember vaguely that I had to disable AIGLX for it to work. Could that be the problem?
cheers,
jdk
I cannot understand why I can see fully loaded xterm for a second and then all crashes.
As I understand drivers are configured properly because X starts as it should, but why this crash happens?
And why if I do startx for the second time in a row without reboot, I see only big black screen and neither ctrl+alt+F1, not ctrl+alt+backspace nor even ctrl+alt+del cannot bring system out of that state

* added dri support to kernel as module (although in one of articles on this issue guys told to disable it at all)
* emerge -uDN world
* etc-update
* revdep-rebuild
* removed all X-related stuff from my home directory
* Added Option "AllowEmptyInput" "no" to my xorg.conf (cause my mouse and keyboard didn't work)
Now I'm sitting in the pretty Xfce4 envirinment, but I have to deal with one more thing - for some reason X process utilizes 100% of my CPU (and thus complitly wastes one of my CPU kernels)
Code:
$ top
.....
24816 root 19 -1 286m 72m 19m S 100 3.6 5:44.58 X
.....
Although I've launched X from my own user, not root
But I guess it has to do with debug USE flag enabled for xorg-server and related packages.
I will dig into it and post my results
