after failed emerge xrdp X fails to load

[yodawg]

I was installing "xrdp" with emerge the other day and it was going through all the dependencies, and it got to one called "vnc-4-patch-something-something" and couldn't find it so I couldn't continue, but when I booted up my computer this morning X wouldn't start, when I ran "startx" at the bash prompt I got these errors:

[atiddxSetup] X version mismatch - detected X.org 1.3.0.0, required X.org 7.1.0.0
(EE) Failed to load module fglrx (module requirement mismatch, 0)
(EE) No drivers available

Could have what I was doing last night with xrdp screwed X or Xorg up ?

I have googled this a little bit and it seems everyone with this problem was installing ATI drivers. I have an ATI card but I haven't ever installed any drivers for it, I have on my Windows install which is what I am using right now.

no, normally we'll have fglrx installed automagically for you. check /etc/X11/xorg.conf and make sure you're loading a driver appropriate for your card - ati and gentoo (and I think Sabayon) have lists of the supported cards by fglrx - it's also possible you'll need radeon (xf86-video-ati) instead. That could be your trouble if re-emerging fglrx doesn't do anything. also, revdep-rebuild is a good habit to get into when things start breaking on your machine.

I tried to install it with emerge..

sudo emerge eix:
>>>!!! A file is not listed in the Manifest: '/usr/portage/app-portage/eix/eix-0-10.5.ebuild'

[xlnagla]

forced emerge --sync and layman -S your portage, it seems to have become slightly borked. Did you try an emaint fix world?

It seems you already have fglrx installed - that's usually what having ati as an option in your opengl settings means. Either that or some of its files became corrupted during a recent install/upgrade.

I'd force-sync portage and your overlays, re-emerge fglrx, and then run a revdep-rebuild to see what else needs fixing.

[yodawg]

There is not even a package called fglrx.

[xlnagla]

sorry, the package is called ati-drivers. Should have probably mentioned that.
