[FreeNX-kNX] "Session startup failed" - Can't open

[Igor Manassypov]

Hi Adam,

There is a solution to use X7 with a new nxclient 2.0, - the patch
involves changing some flags in the node.conf, but from what I heard it
is not too stable yet. So you should be better off with using the pre-7
x.

The way to force it back is indeed to mask it, although you are masking
it incorrectly. Below are my portage package defs:
/etc/portage/package.use
net-misc/nxserver-freenx commercial

/etc/portage/package.mask
>x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9


I built two boxes with the above settings recently. Just make sure you
use the older nxclient 1.5, not nxclient 2.0

Igor,

Thanks for your previous advice on nxserver/amd64. I works fine on an 
older gentoo machine, but I'm now working with a new install where xorg 
7.0 is the default. Any chance you figured out how to force portage to 
use X 6.8? It's not as simple as just masking >=x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0.

Any links or advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks
