Had massive problems after upgrading to xorg-server-1.5.3-r5 from xorg-server-1.5.3-r4, too. Masking xorg-server-1.5.3-r5 helped.

kdm started, but after entering username/password kdm crashed:

kdm[3266] general protection ip:415595 sp:7fff218bc6f0 error:0 in kdm[400000+28000]

Similar problems on gdm.

Please update your xorg-server to 1.6, rebuild your X drivers using the following command :

  emerge -1 $(qlist -IC x11-drivers/)

and finally make sure in your xorg.conf to enable UXA in the Device section

Thanks

No changes after update. Everything same, no xorg just _ symbol in screen.

Because of other 1.6 bugs xorg downgrade instructions would be nice too ty.

(II) intel(0): I830CheckAvailableMemory: 448508 kB available
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device or address)
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device or address)
drmOpenDevice: Open failed
[drm] failed to load kernel module "i915"
(WW) intel(0): Failed to open DRM device

You're missing the i915 kernel driver. Please add it and try again. xf86-video-intel-2.7 isn't really good if the kernel driver is missing. 2.8 should behave much better.

Thanks

I had that draiver in kernel.
I think I will try it as module and disable that strange new flag...
Nice it works as module.
Thanks for help.

Kinda solved.
