Right after upgrade from 1.19 to x11-base/xorg-server-1.20 I am unable to `startx`. The screen freeze right after running X server, I can see the underscore cursor in the upper left corner of screen, however it does not blink. I can use sysrq to sync + reboot, but there's nothing special in Xorg.0.log. FWIW I am not using udev or systemd. It also looks like I am not the only one with such issue https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8229484.html#8229484 Reproducible: Always
It is sad to read that you have problems with the software. The situation seems to be a bit more complicate and requires some analysis. We can not help you efficiently via bug tracker. The bug tracker aims rather on specific problems in .ebuilds and less on individual systems. I have had very good experience on the gentoo IRC [1] with questions like this. Of course there are also forums and mailing lists [2,3]. I hope you understand, that I will close the bug here therefore and wish you good luck on one of the mentioned channels [4]. Please reopen the ticket in order to provide an indication for an specific error in an ebuild or any gentoo related product.

You cannot be serious. You have resolved the bug, simply because problem appears to be complex? THere's a problem with current latest xorg-server in ~amd64 and giving me tips how to join IRC is not even remotely helpful.
As in https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8229484.html#8229484 Confirmed 3 users that have this problem. This is not a thing related to my very system that no one else happen to have.
It would be good if you provide at least emerge --info output and information on driver/hardware.

(In reply to Fred Krogh from comment #5) As you use different hardware from the reporter, can you check whether Magic SysRq works for you too? Possibly there are different driver issues. (In reply to Piotr Karbowski from comment #6) Do you use intel or modesetting driver for X? Does switching between them make a difference?
I didn't know about sysrq, but I do have it enabled in my kernel. It works when I use it in a console, but not from a terminal when using X. I having other problems now and can't check this when it freezes at startup with the new xorg-server.
i will try to bisect the issue, hopefully I will be able to compile X on side and replace it, unless some big changes to headers were made, which will make buildoing keyboard + mouse drivers hard.
Folks, I see that few people were added to CC. I assume all of you hit the same thing, would you kindly state your xorg configuration? Here I run without systemd, without udev and using synaptics, mouse and keyboard drivers. Anyone uses full udev stack with libinput/evdev drivers?

It appears that version 1.20.0 of the xorg-server can't run in frame buffer mode This problem caused me to stop building a systemd unit,& revert back to rc. I then had the same hassle with the xorg-server,on looking at the X org site it appears appears to be a problem with the update,downgrading to version 1.19.5 at least allowed me get X started
Found the trigger. It's "mouse" driver. Most of you most likely can switch to either evdev or libinput to not use it. chithanh would you be so kind and test on your not affected station if adding mouse driver to the mix trigger the issue?
Here's the fix for xf86-input-mouse: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input-mouse/patch/?id=3c8f243b750a92d5837a449d344ff884dbd02b57 Apply it or wait for new release of mouse driver. I can confirm, that it works for me.
Also works for me -- thanks
I suspect everyone here was affected by the incompatible version of xf86-input-mouse, which I fixed by making a new release: commit fabacb3ecfdc2ee8b002d9098f0bb4bb041bad6b Author: Matt Turner <mattst88@gentoo.org> AuthorDate: 2018-06-19 04:42:52 +0000 Commit: Matt Turner <mattst88@gentoo.org> CommitDate: 2018-06-19 04:44:18 +0000 x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse: Version bump 1.9.3 Closes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/658240 x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse/Manifest | 1 + x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse/xf86-input-mouse-1.9.3.ebuild | 13 +++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 14 insertions(+) Speculatively marking as a duplicate of bug 658240.
