[gentoo-user] Xorg broken?

I think I broke something once again...

Rebooting after a recent update caused my X Server to completely die.  I
faintly remember some x11-related packages being blocked on that
particular update, but because I was short on time I decided just to
ignore those at the time (note to self: bad idea, apparently).

Now when I run startx, it complains about a bunch of permissions being
borked:

$ cat Xorg.0.log
---- 8< ----

(I'll attach the full log)

I don't fully understand what's going on there, but I figured maybe
someone more experienced on here might have an idea as to what I did
wrong this time.


FWIW, I already tried setting the permissions of /dev/tty7 to 664,
causing the X server to work, albeit with inputs not working (the log
reveiled that it couldn't access /dev/input/event7 or something, so
probably the same issue).


My user's groups are:

$ groups christoph
tty wheel audio video usb users input davfs2 plugdev christoph kvm

(Note tty, audio, video, and input. That's all X should really need,
right?)

My VIDEO_CARDS contains "intel i915" (for an Intel HD 4000(?) chip in a
Lenovo X1 Carbon 1st gen).


Has this broken for anyone else?  Anyone who could point me in the right
direction?  Thanks in advance!

Do you have an initramfs?

I don't, though I just realized an unstable version of xorg-server
somehow got pulled in and merged (along with a bunch of unstable
drivers).  I'll try to downgrade the drivers and server and maybe
that'll fix it.

When you do make sure you do a

`emerge @x11-module-rebuild @module-rebuild`

to rebuild all the changed drivers.

Do you have xorg-server-1.19.99.901 or xorg-server-1.19.99.901-r1  
installed?

That's just broken!

Downgrade to version 1.19.5-r1 .
Several people have problems with the above versions.

Typing this from my fixed laptop :)

I masked >=x11-base/xorg-server-1.19.99.901-r1 and re-emerged, and now
it works again (for the time being).

Thanks for the efforts everybody!

I got the same (again) but x11-base/xorg-server-1.19.99.901 runs just 
fine here when, and only when, I re-implement the +suid USE-flag 
(--enable-install-setuid) and remove --enable-suid-wrapper from the 
ebuild.

Remove your user from tty group and you’ll probably get:

    “parse_vt_settings: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (Permission denied)”

that is discussed at [1]. So downgrading to:

    x11-base/xorg-server-1.19.5-r1[+suid]

may be a quick but cannot be a permanent solution in my opinion.
