Screen turns off when exiting Xorg

C

cellini

The screen shuts off when logging out from XFCE or KDE or killing Xorg.

FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE
nvidia-driver-346.47
xorg-7.7_2

I tried Googling but haven't found any thing that works. Any ideas?

Thanks for any reply.

here you go :)
 
Try removing everything but the following in the xorg.conf file:
Code: 
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
then reboot and see if that helps.

I think I remember a problem report being filed for this exact issue at some point not too long ago. I'll see if I can find it and post it here.

Edit: It's PR 201461.
 
I tried that. Sorry I haven't replied, when I rebooted the machine wouldn't run. It was complaining about data corruption, figured it out to be a bad SATA connection. But sorry to report that minimizing the xorg.conf did not work. It's still the same problem :(
 
I honestly don't have any idea what may be causing this problem. I've never run into it before myself even on the CURRENT branch. Do you have any errors logged in /var/log/messages that look they may be related to this?
 
Not sure, this is when iI log out of KDE and the blindly startx

Code: 
Aug 14 22:32:19 aasennas devd: notify_clients: send() failed; dropping unresponsive client
Aug 14 22:32:34 aasennas devd: notify_clients: send() failed; dropping unresponsive client
Aug 14 22:33:08 aasennas devd: check_clients:  dropping disconnected client
Aug 14 22:33:10 aasennas kernel: pid 4783 (kwin_opengl_test), uid 1001: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)

Could the last line be something?
 
What does sysctl kern.vty say? If it's not vt try sysctl kern.vty=vt and put kern.vty=vt in /boot/loader.conf.

sysctl(8) is already set to vt(4)

Code: 
anders@aasennas:~ % sysctl kern.vty
kern.vty: vt

Ah, ok. Hmm, also tried changing the nsswitch.conf read it somewhere but cant find the post now, anyway it did not change the behavior.

Code: 
anders@aasennas:~ % cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
#

cellini, can you try using the syscons(4) driver and see if you have the same problem? Both the vt(4) and sc(4) console drivers are available in FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE and you should be able to switch freely between them. You can add
Code: 
kern.vty=sc
to your /boot/loader.conf file to switch to the sc(4) console driver. If you already have
Code: 
kern.vty=vt
in your /boot/loader.conf file, just replace it. If your problem goes away after switching console drivers, you can add your name to the problem report(PR) I posted a link to above.
 
Thanks I'll try it tomorrow, I set the machine to update to 10.2 and I will also try before I change the sysctl(8) setting but I guess the update wont have much effect on the issue alone.
