After I updated to x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.3 yesterday X11 doesn't start anymore when started as user. I get a blank screen with a underline cursor in the upper left part of my screen. Then the system seems to hang. I cannot switch to a console with Ctrl-Alt-Fx, nor do Ctrl-Alt-Backspace Ctrl-Alt-Delete work. I have to halt using Magic SysRQ keys. When I start X as root, it starts up fine, though. I tried reinstalling x11-drm-20080710 and xf86-video-intel-2.5.1-r1 but the problem remained. Switching back to libdrm-2.4.1 made X functional again. The Xorg-log file shows no errors. I'll attach it anyway.

Created attachment 177650 [details] The Xorg log file created by a unsuccessful startx
Got this. Seems to be the same issue. Using 2.4.1 makes X works again. I have to mention that I did rebuild mesa xorg-server and xf86-video-ati as adviced, but it was useless. Failed to load DMI info, X60 TV quirk not applied.

Server aborting
Had the same problem. Re-building mesa, xorg and my graphics driver (xf86-video-intel) helped.
All of you please make sure you rebuild (in that order) : - mesa - xorg-server - all your video drivers (x11-drivers/xf86-video-*) The ABI of libdrm changed and it *breaks* compatibility. Thanks
I've recompiled mesa, xorg-server and xf86-video-intel, but still the screen blanks and the system seems to freeze after invoking startx as user. Starting X as root still works as expected. The output of startx when issued as user is as follows: ---- xauth: creating new authority file /home/horn/.serverauth.2750 X.Org X Server 1.5.3 Release Date: 5 November 2008 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.28-gentoo x86_64 Current Operating System: Linux thinkpad 2.6.28-gentoo #2 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jan 2 11:15:27 CET 2009 x86_64 Build Date: 08 January 2009 07:18:20PM Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

Could you please try unmerging x11-drm and build the i915 driver found in the kernel instead? Thanks
Hi Rémi, now with the kernel drm (i915 from gentoo-sources-2.6.28) stuff it works. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the quick follow up. I'll close this bug fixed. If anyone has any issues, please don't hesitate to open _new_ bugs. Thanks :)
