The dri messages are normal for nvidia. Run revdep-rebuild to fix the png issue.

About 6 days ago, I updated my system and since then, I can't boot into X. My nvidia driver loads okay and it looks like it is going to start X, but then reverts to the command line. I've been sick and haven't really been able to follow this up. Also note that I can't provide any output because I am, obviously, not on my computer. Details are as follows: >From my kdm log the last few lines are as follows: (EE) Failed to load module "dri" (module does not exist, 0) (EE) Failed to load module "dri2" (module does not exist, 0) /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdm_greet: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I don't have a dri USE flag in my make.conf file The dri line in my xorg.conf file exists, but it is commented I do not build dri into my kernel Yesterday, I decided to try another update to see if there was an ebuild that might have corrected whatever the problem was On attempting to upgrade gtk+, it fails and I get told to run: emerge --info =x11-libs/gtk+-2.18.9 When I do that, there is a USE line which includes dri and I'm not sure where that is being pulled from unless it is global because as stated previously, I don't have a dri USE flag in my make.conf or an active line in my xorg.conf file. Regarding libpng - on my first upgrade 6 days ago, I removed libpng prior to doing the update because the updated libpng file was being blocked by the existing one. I don't know if this makes a difference. Any advice on how to fix this? Regards, Colleen
