I'm using a recently updated ~x86 system with XFCE 4.41. Everytime I try to leave X, the display freezes and all that is seen is a mouse cursor and background. I must ctrl-alt-delete, which successfully forces a system reboot. Instead, pressing the power button (I have acpid running) will cause some hard drive activity, but the machine will not then shut down. Ctrl-alt-backspace causes the same type of crash. My previous version of xorg was 7.1. I've tried both with and without an xorg.conf file, with no noted difference. I'll attach my emerge --info and xorg log. tia Reproducible: Always

Have you tried the masked 6.7.192 drivers? I have a Radeon X800 AGP and with that driver it runs without the problems you describe. Haven't tried the old drivers with xorg-server-1.4, though.
I have a similar problem with my new install of xorg 7.3. I am using an older R128 fury card, but the server likewise crashes on shutdown. I tried both the 6.7.192 and the 6.6.3 drivers. I am running this on an athlon 900, so we may have a bad interaction with the athlon, I'm running the 6.6.3 drivers on my PIII dual system with no problems. emerge --info Portage 2.1.3.9 (!../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2007.0, gcc-4.2.0, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.22-gentoo-r5 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.22-gentoo-r5 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) Processor Timestamp of tree: Fri, 14 Sep 2007 07:50:01 +0000 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [enabled] ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p17-r1 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.33-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r5, 2.5.1-r2 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.10-r4 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r2 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.24 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.22-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/mnt/nfs_portage/distfiles" FEATURES="ccache distcc distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/pub/linux/gentoo ftp://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.ndlug.nd.edu/pub/gentoo/ ftp://gentoo.cites.uiuc.edu/pub/gentoo/ " MAKEOPTS="-j15" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/mnt/nfs_portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://192.168.1.1/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow 3dnowext X a52 aac acl acpi alsa apache2 audiofile berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdparanoia cdr cli cracklib crypt cups divx4linux dlloader dri dvd dvdr dvdread esd ffmpeg fortran gdbm glut gpm hal iconv imagemagick isdnlog java lirc lm_sensors midi mjpeg mmx mmx2 mmxext mplayer mudflap mysql mythtv ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin nvidia openal opengl openmp pam pcre pda pdf pdflib perl pppd python qt3 readline reflection samba session sockets spl ssl subtitles szip tcpd threads truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb v4l v4l2 vcd vidix wifi win32codecs x86 xine xorg xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="emu10k1" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LIRC_DEVICES="xboxusb" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="r128 R128 vesa vga" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS

Haven't tried the old > drivers with xorg-server-1.4, though. Good suggestion. I tried it and it doesn't fix the problem, and in addition it gives me choppy video. My card is a Radeon 9600XT. #4: It seems doubtful, but I'll try recompiling the video drivers and xorg-server with -march=i686 -O2 and report back if that fixes the problem.
The Xorg.log doesn't show anything, but have you checked the kernel logs ?? if you can ssh in over the network and type 'dmesg' and see if there's anything interesting there.
Also, it might be worth setting a ulimit for a core dump, and then running it through with gdb, such as... gdb -c core.xxxx Xorg then type 'backtrace' in gdb and attach that dump here.
Hello, unfortunately I don't have another machine to try the SSH thing. I still experience this problem with a fully up-to-this-date ~x86 machine, using the latest hard-masked xf86-video-ati driver.
This problem has gone away for me. Perhaps it was because I didn't have dbus / hald loaded on boot. In any case, it probably shouldn't crash if those are missing.
Just noticed by chance that this is a dupe of bug #195886. It is indeed caused by dbus not being loaded at boot, at least for me, and is fixed in the upcoming release. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 195886 ***
