I was using 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 until today when I rebooted my system. Upon startup in X, my window manager was totally messed up. As soon as I moved the mouse, the cursor switch to the busy watch icon. Then, it appeared not to send any window messages to any clients. I could start new X windows clients from another virtual terminal and control them via the keyboard, but the mouse was completely unresponsive. As a lark, I tried my wife's setup (KDE) and it worked perfectly. After more investigation, I was able to determine that fvwm would work fine if I used an old configuration, but as soon as I switched to the highly configured fvwm-crystal setup, the problems reoccured. Since I had also upgraded to udev-50 yesterday, I wanted to make sure that it wasn't the culprit. I rebooted back into 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 and was able to run fvwm-crystal again without any problems at all. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge fvwm-crystal gentoo-sources 2. cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r8 3. make 4. cp /usr/src/linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r8/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-2.6.11-gentoo-r8 5. edit /boot/grub/grub.conf to point to new kernel 6. reboot into 2.6.11-gentoo-r8 7. login 8. edit .xinitrc to start fvwm-crystal 9. startx Actual Results: Unusable system as described above Expected Results: Normal X behavior
Does it work with gentoo-sources-2.6.12?
I assume no answer means the problem was fixed. If not, feel free to reopen.
