I openen konqueror to browse my home dir and I got a mime-type error and no files displayed. Trying to do konqueror /home/ernie gave me errors that I can't quote but mime types was mentioned again. Assuming that something was just hung up I did top which showed X using 95% cpu Killing java_vm, firefox, kmail and any suspected cpu hogs had no effect so I killed X and attempted to restart it. I got the dreaded "no screens found" error. Nothing in the logs was any more enlightening and a look at xorg.conf showed no recent changes that I could identify. I changed my driver in xorg.conf to "nv" from "nvidia" and X runs, slow as hell but it runs. nvidia-drivers is currently at 100.14.09. I need advice getting this straight. Is there a file where nvidia-settings keeps config data other than xorg.conf? should I update to the masked nvidia-drivers-100.14.11 ? -- Regards, Ernie -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
