I had a glitch a while back where composite + apic = > system lockup, and later, something in QT4 tripped it up. I have no ide how to diable 'composite support'. When the system was ordered it was specified 1680x1050 on the 17 inch screen resolution. The few times (sporadically) I did get X/kde to launch, it was is 1024x768 mode. I cold not build a working xorg.conf file, so I boot up the liveCD 2007.0 can copied over the default xorg.conf that at least worked with the liveCD. My suspicion is that xorg.conf file, particularly the Hortz and Vert ranges: HorizSync 28.0 - 96.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 75.0 Or maybe it the long list of fonts from the xorg.conf file on the livecd2007.0 and I have not installed all of those fonts? What I need a very simple xorg.conf for a HP Pavilion dv9000z. Googling I found a couple but they did not work and hacking xorg.conf files has always seem to be a moving target for me.... I eliminated acpid from the startup, it made no difference: rc-update del acpid default Right now I'm running 'emerge --emptytree world' It's on 29/862 for lack of any better ideas.
