Here's the fix: http://git.enlightenment.org/core/enlightenment.git/commit/?h=enlightenment-0.17&id=b17a9b9cc9438b6dfac4402ac4107f08e23a4373 Tested working here. Tempfix for this issue is to remove ~/.e/e/config/standard/e_randr.cfg before trying to startx.
Created attachment 358396 [details, diff] e17-init-shuffle.patch this fixes the issue for me too. I did have to mess with the patch format just a bit to get epatch to accept the e17-init-shuffle.patch Thanks for the correct solution

Mine was stuck still showing the lightdm screen while logging in an enlightenment session. The Tempfix worked for me. I also had e_randr.1.cfg file in the same directory so I removed that as well.

Tony's e17-init-shuffle.patch works for me!
I just added enlightenment-0.17.5_pre1 to the main tree. This should be on your local rsync mirror in a few hours. Please test it and report back, if it fixes the issue.

(I've tried starting it both via lightdm and via startx / .xinitrc, and both methods started up okay for me.)
Did you test it with the old config in .e or just with the new clean .e from 0.17.4? Also, if anyone else with the old config could verify 0.17.5_pre1 and report back, that would be good.

Do you mean testing 0.17.5_pre1 with a ~/.e/e/config/standard/e_randr.cfg generated by 0.17.3 or earlier? I tested 0.17.5_pre1 with a e_randr.cfg generated by 0.17.4. > Also, if anyone else with the old config could verify 0.17.5_pre1 and report > back, that would be good. I could try downgrading to 0.17.3, generating a new e_randr.cfg and then upgrading to 0.17.5_pre1 if you want.
As a test, I did the following: 1. shut down my enlightenment session 2. moved my ~/.e directory to ~/.e.bak 3. downgraded to enlightenment-0.17.3 4. started an enlightenment session and went through the first-time config 5. shut down my enlightment session again 6. upgraded to enlightenment-0.17.5_pre1 7. started an enlightenment session again The upgraded enlightment session started up okay. (I then shut down the session and restored my old ~/.e directory from ~/.e.bak.)
Thanks for your work and report. So this will be fixed in enlightenment-0.17.5, just leaving the bug open until that version is officially released.
I also tested moving my ~/.e directory and running through the first-time config with enlightenment-0.17.5_pre1. It started okay apart from complaining about a missing 'shot' module, but that happened with 0.17.3 as well.
x11-wm/enlightenment-0.17.5_pre1 starts fine for me also
should be fixed with the latest versions in the tree
