|
|
Was attempting to install xorg 7.1 on a brand new clean vmware guest os using the 2006.1 installation.
I put the following entries in my /etc/make.conf file:
Code: |
VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia nv vmware vesa"
INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse"
|
I performed an emerge xorg-x11 which supposedly installed a bunch of packages. It finished up some time later and I attempted to run X, but received the following errors:
Code: |
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module vga
(II) UnloadModule: "vga"
(EE) Failed to load module "vga" (module does not exist, 0)
(II) LoadModule: "mouse"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module mouse
(II) UnloadModule: "mouse"
(EE) Failed to load module "mouse" (module does not exist, 0)
(II) LoadModule: "kbd"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module kbd
(II) UnloadModule: "kbd"
(EE) Failed to load module "kbd" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.

Looking around and sure enough the directory /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input was empty!
So I manually emerged the following:
Code: |
emerge xf86-input-vmmouse
emerge xf86-input-mouse
emerge xf86-input-keyboard
emerge xf86-video-vmware
emerge xf86-video-vesa
|
After doing the above I was able to get X started.
So it appears to me that something is not working correctly with the dependencies or something similar. And I had this happen to two different fresh installs.
Any ideas why? |
