[gentoo-user] Problem with Kde 4.1.X

[gentoo-user] Problem with Kde 4.1.X

[Nicola]

Hi, 
I have searched on google and bugtrack for weeks for people with a similar 
problem with the new kde 4.1.X but I didn't find anything. I have some 
problem even to describe the problem beacause I don't know how to figure out 
what is wrong with my system. The real problem is that kde 4.1.X didn't start 
if I use kwin. I only get it start if I use another window decorator (for 
example compiz). I have tried with 4.1.3 and 4.1.4 but with the same problem. 
After the login screen i get the splash screen but at the end of the sequence 
I'm kicked out to the login screen. 
I need some advice to how and where begin to search for the problem. Which 
file I need to parse in search of the problem? Is there on the ML someone 
whith the same problem?

Xorg:1.5.3-r1
nvidia-drivers:177.82
kernel:2.6.27-r7

Intel Core2Duo 8400
nvidia geforce8800GT

Thanks

Nicola

Hello,

This may or may not be your problem, but I have found xorg-sever-1.5.3 and
xorg-server-1.5.3-r1 to be unstable.  However, xorg-server-1.5.2 works fine for
me.  I just masked the other two.  What I mean by "unstable" is that they will
lock up my system - the mouse and keyboard won't work, so I have to do a hard boot.

Regards,
Chris

I have that too now but only after emerge updated to KDE 4.1.4.  4.1.3 
was working fine.  I didn't try to solve it since I use KDE3 and 
installed KDE4 only to check it out.

Thanks for the reply, I didn't find xorg 1.5.3 unstable, I use every day with 
kde 3.5.10 or gnome. I had the mouse and keyboard problem too, but I resolved 
commenting out the entry in my xorg config file and switching to udev for 
keyboard and mouse configuration. I will try compiling switching back to 
1.5.2 to see if something changes.

Thanks again
