[gentoo-user] Problem shutting down X-server

[gentoo-user] Problem shutting down X-server

[Herbert Laubner]

Hi all,

I am new to Gentoo.
I finally managed to set up xorg on my system, fluxbox is running,  
but whenever I want to terminate the X-Server, the screen is not  
receiving any signal anymore. The only chance to get a commandline  
back or to get the server running again is to restart the pc.

Where to look for?

Regards,
Herb

Reboot if you have to (or access the box via ssh from another computer) and 
look for any error messages in:

/var/log/Xorg.0.log
~/xdm.log   (or wherever xdm.log is stored - # locate xdm.log to find it)
/var/log/messages

Check the above BEFORE you restart X otherwise Xorg.0.log will be overwritten.

HTH.

Under Device section in your xorg.conf add the BusID number for your video 
device as shown in e.g. I am using the radeon driver and radeon frame buffer 
so I get:

dmesg: radeonfb (0000:01:00.0): ATI Radeon LY

lspci -v: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon 
Mobility M6 LY (prog-if 00 [VGA])

lshw:  bus info: pci@0000:01:00.0

and in my xorg.conf I have:

BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"

These seem alright to me.

> I do not find a xdm.log

# find / -iname xdm.log

I think xdm logging is switched on by default.  Also check under your /var/log 
for any fglrx logs - haven't used this driver for years and don't know what 
it does these days.

I have not been lucky! I still can not get to command-line-mode  
stooping X-server.
