Subject: [gentoo-user] Strange desktop happening following update world
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2009 14:08:45 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87pr9tl4xu.fsf@newsguy.com> (raw)
On reboot following recent update world I find the xfce4 manager is
not able to display the former desktop wallpaper or even the
wallpapers packaged with the install.
Other obvious changes are that ctrl-alt-bkspc no longer shuts X down
And the desktop seems to take a good bit longer to initially load.
xorg-server was one of the updates:
Dropping back one version on xorg-server did not help.
Updated was: (~)1.6.3.901-r1
Dropped back to: (~)1.6.3.901
The x11 packages installed are listed below. Notice the large number
of drivers... That's been like that for a good while since I don't
include a VIDEO_CARDS setting in /etc/make.conf.
(I tried it a few times... wrestling the nvidia and nv drivers, but
found just leaving it out allowed things to just work.)
I doubt the number of drivers is the source of my current trouble
since as I mentioned its been like that for mnths, possibly over a yr.
