log snipped of x-server crash
Hi Jonas,
i am sorry there is nothing left in /var/tmp/portage because all emerges worked flawlessly. This is a runtime bug and i think i cited the relevant log snippets already in my post.
Added some more surrounding information with this attachment.
I just 'fixed' the issue for me by emerging the old version of x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati which lead to a working system again, therefore my assumption that this has something to do with this package...
Thanks and Cheers
Andreas
Hi, i have now had time to dig deeper into this: I noticed that re-emerging linux-firmware (AFTER) emerging xf86-video-ati-7.10.0 seemed to have brought me back a somehow working gnome session. https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-announce/2017-September/002806.html points to the changed behaviour with the pixmaps i suppose. After more checking newly appearing error messages after that (missing radeonsi) if checked deeper on https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Radeon and i suppose some things changed or were irrelevant with the old versions there since i first configured the basis of my system setup ~3.5 years ago. I added radeonsi as well now. Gnome comes up properly now after loging into gdm. It even feels a bit more responsive probably. So you might blame it on me, for not properly following up all these changes. With this respect xf86-video-ati upgrade from 7.9.0 to 7.10.0 looks like some breaking change. So i hope this report helps anyone running into the same issues, and from my side it can be closed now. Sorry for the noise, thanks and cheers Andreas |
