Re: [SOLVED] No graphical environment after linux headers 3.6.7

try

sudo systemctl enable name.service  --> substitute name for the login manager you use. ( slim , lxdm et cettera)

Hope this helps smile

It sounds like you need to rebuild the Catalyst module for your new kernel. I don't have an AMD card myself, but information should be available in the wiki:

Litemotiv you were right there was not any fglrx module loaded so i followed the wiki and now the only difference is that after startx or startxfce4 all im getting is a black screen where i cant change to an another tty and im forced to reboot

Re: [SOLVED] No graphical environment after linux headers 3.6.7

Does /var/log/Xorg.0.log mention anything relevant?

Re: [SOLVED] No graphical environment after linux headers 3.6.7

Solved it.. smile reinstalled the drivers directly from amd(there was some instructions in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AM … y_from_AMD ) and everything worked just fine tongue
Xorg.log was giving seg fault after some lines about the fglrx module .. anyway thanks for your help smile
