PC Athlon XP 2000/VIA KT333/NVidia GF4Ti4200. Installed system (kernel 2.6.30-gentoo-r6) from stage3 tarball (20090915), emerge syslog-ng, dhcpcd, grub. Then due to X11 configuration manual from Gentoo: 1. added INPUT_DEVICES, VIDEO_CARDS in /etc/make.conf. 2. # emerge xorg-server 3. # env-update 4. # source /etc/profile 5. # Xorg -configure 6. # mv /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf 7. # startx Result: system hangs up (or didn't react?) immediately after showing twm windows (consoles+clock). There is no reaction on mouse moving/clicking and keyboard either. The system also give no reaction on Ctrl+Alt+F1,F2; NumLock... Changing Driver in device section gives nothing. The log and setting files are in attach. Reproducible: Always

Is hal running ? Is xf86-input-evdev emerged ? Also that error of "A driver tried to allocate the Block Memresource at 0xa0000:0xaffff which conflicted with another resource." is worth checking.

Never use this, gentoo worked with both X and Gnome in previos installations. > Also that error of "A driver tried to allocate the Block Memresource at > 0xa0000:0xaffff which conflicted with another resource." is worth checking. I'll mail to the x.org if the problem won't be solved here. I don't know what else to do with this error.
> Hal is not required for X11 Your own xorg log proves you wrong. You are probably using an outdated guide. While hal is not 100% required, it's used if it's available. Though chances are it will use libudev on linux in xorg-server 1.8 (as nearly everything else moved there or is in the process). > Never use this, gentoo worked with both X and Gnome in previos installations. Fabulous - once again, outdated guide. While I'm not really a fan of hal in xorg-server, I don't see it as a problem and, once again, it probably won't stay here for long.
If you want to see a less outdated one, see the xorg-server 1.5 upgrade guide.
Installed hald results are the same.
The problem was solved by adding 'Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false"' to "ServerLayout" section of Xorg config file. No 'Fatal server error' was found at Xorg 1.6.3.
The problem with 1.5.3 wasn't solved at all, but it is not relevant for me at that moment. Leave the bug opened for anyone interested in/faced with.
Closing this as WONTFIX, since a newer xorg-server is stable.
