Hmm, I do not think you understand, when I exit X/kde the entire system is latched up tight. None of the keys work, nothing is echoed to the screen, the system is latched up tight. All I can do is power cycle the system. When I do that the screen fades and the mouse cursor is visible but slowly fades to a solid white screen. The system hangs at the very moment I use the logout button in kde, to exit the system. Very strange and very repeatable..... maybe emerge --emptytree world? revdep-rebuild -p is fine. I am clueless how to fix this... ideas? James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
