1.11.3.1 won't even start for me now after updating

Hi guys,

I installed 1.11.3.1 today, now the d&*^m thing won't load, I get the busy, then it exits. I went to look at the settings.xml file, and guess what there isn't one!

Ok, there is my xorg.conf file.

Any ideas? I have looked back through the threads to see what I can, but it all looks fine to me.

Jac

I'm getting the same, my config is pretty much the same as yours in required areas.

Drake,

Oh well that is two of us I know that are DOA right now. I am donloading the Knoppix distro that made with SL on it to try and see if I can get it to run at all again. If it does then I will see if I can figure out what is going on, I have reinstalled all the nvidia drivers on here, twice.... grr.....

Jac

Remove this line from your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and see what results out of that. Also tell us your distro.

Removed, still doesn't work. I am running Mandriva 2006 kernal 2.6.12-12 smp 512m ram, gforce4 vid card w/ 128m, IBM IntelliStation with twin cpus. The live distro just finished DL'ing, I am going to burn it and try it out.

Jac

This line shows your nvidia driver is not installed properly.

Also you might need to change the Virtual 1024 768 lines in your xorg.conf file to Modes "1024x768" but fix your nvidia problem first!

same issue ;0 my log

I had a similar problem to this (except with i810 drivers and on Ubuntu, KDE). Starting, and then when you try to sign in it just exits. It seemed to get fixed when I removed all the drivers that I was not using from "/usr/lib/dri" and "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers". After restarting X, everything that required Direct Rendering including SL seemed to work ok.

Also, if you have inappropriate drivers that you installed via apt-get, I'd try "remove completely" on those packages.
