Description Fredric Johansson 2006-03-29 07:11:57 UTC
When trying to start up X (version 6.8.2-r2) through /etc/init.d/xdm, the computer freezes with a black screen. trying kdm (kde-3.5.1) instead makes my computer boot  and I get a working X-server, but trying to switch back and forth to console makes the computer freeze with an weirdcolored screen, same if I press ctrl+alt+back to restart X.
Will provide emmerge --info later
Can see if I can find an errorlog on this
