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. ===== * ===== * ===== * ===== qlop --list|grep 'Sep 13.*x11' Sun Sep 13 06:45:35 2009 >>> x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.6 Sun Sep 13 06:46:57 2009 >>> x11-libs/pixman-0.16.0 Sun Sep 13 06:47:32 2009 >>> x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.13 Sun Sep 13 06:47:57 2009 >>> x11-apps/xkbcomp-1.1.0 Sun Sep 13 06:48:15 2009 >>> x11-apps/mkfontscale-1.0.6 Sun Sep 13 06:48:55 2009 >>> x11-libs/libFS-1.0.2 Sun Sep 13 07:07:22 2009 >>> x11-libs/libSM-1.1.1 Sun Sep 13 07:12:17 2009 >>> x11-libs/libXt-1.0.6 Sun Sep 13 07:23:01 2009 >>> x11-misc/x11vnc-0.9.8 Sun Sep 13 07:24:55 2009 >>> x11-libs/libXaw-1.0.6 Sun Sep 13 09:14:28 2009 >>> x11-base/xorg-server-1.6.3.901-r1 Sun Sep 13 09:17:00 2009 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-video-mach64-6.8.2 Sun Sep 13 09:17:27 2009 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.2.4 Sun Sep 13 09:18:39 2009 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-video-openchrome-20090907 Sun Sep 13 09:19:42 2009 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-video-glint-1.2.4 Sun Sep 13 09:20:10 2009 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-video-fbdev-0.4.1 Sun Sep 13 09:21:49 2009 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.8.1 Sun Sep 13 09:23:31 2009 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.12.4 Sun Sep 13 09:24:48 2009 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-video-sis-0.10.2 Sun Sep 13 09:25:21 2009 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-video-vmware-10.16.7 Sun Sep 13 09:25:56 2009 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-video-neomagic-1.2.4 Sun Sep 13 09:26:38 2009 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-video-savage-2.3.1 Sun Sep 13 09:27:16 2009 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-video-r128-6.8.1 Sun Sep 13 09:28:00 2009 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-video-trident-1.3.3 Sun Sep 13 09:28:49 2009 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-video-mga-1.4.11 Sun Sep 13 09:29:21 2009 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-video-tdfx-1.4.3 Sun Sep 13 09:29:46 2009 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa-2.2.1 Sun Sep 13 09:30:12 2009 >>> x11-drivers/xf86-video-voodoo-1.2.3 Sun Sep 13 09:48:26 2009 >>> x11-libs/gtk+-2.16.5-r1
