Last week (after complete "emerge world") my machine began to freeze during X startup on NVidia logo (the last message in Xorg.0.log in those cases is: (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" so probably it is a problem in drivers or drivers conflict (I use synaptics-0.14.4-r2 driver) or else. This occurs non-deterministically, so it is hard to reproduce it (more statistics probably neccessary), mostly after starting of the laptop and the very first startx (my subsequent restartings of X are usually sucessful), although I've got this freezing 5th time last week and once I've got the freeze 3 times repeatedly. Memory, usb mouse and other hardware is OK (before "emerge world" and on another OS everything was ok) My xorg.conf and configuration can be seen in: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115026
Try some of the following: - disabling composite - trying the 'nv' driver - trying the standard mouse driver instead of the synaptics one - turning off nvidia's RenderAccel Also, have you changed your CFLAGS recently? Just "-O2" seems overly minimalistic... Finally, what X version are you using?

Since I need glx, synaptics (sometimes I have no mouse - only the pad) - I have to switch nvidia/synaptics back. > > Also, have you changed your CFLAGS recently?

Well, personally I'd add a -march=k8 there. When it freezes, do you know if you have SSH access still? And try disabling the nVidia logo, just in case that's somehow causing it (though that's a long shot).
ok, thanks > When it freezes, do you know if you have SSH access still? will check next time > And try disabling the nVidia logo, just in case that's somehow causing it > (though that's a long shot). disabled. I'll keep an eye open on it. thanks again
Anode: Any news on this?
I havn't seen freezing since then (using nvidia, no logo), so I'm closing the bug (although I do not have much of statistics for that machine - starting X there rarely) Thanks for your help! regards
