My xorg (gnome) surface is split-up in 6 parts.
I think there is something wrong with the xorg.conf.new

Hi!
I finally got around to doing the update to modular xorg.
All in all it went smoothly and only took 45 minutes. Only issues were several programs I had tried running afterwards (among them xterm) wanted to link against /usr/lib/libXaw8.so, which curiously no longer seems to exist (highest one now is libXaw7). A revdep-rebuild solved the problem.
Next I tried emerge -upvD world to see what it would want to do. It seems to want to pull in a bunch of stuff that neither the initial emerge -av x11-base/xorg-x11 nor the subsequent revdep-rebuild seemed to care about: Code: | [ebuild N ] app-text/rman-3.2 0 kB

It seems that app-text/wv is the cause of most of these since when I try emerge -pv1D app-text/wv all but the last 2 lines above are displayed.
My question is, should I go ahead with this emerge -upvD world, or is this a sign of some problem that hasn't surfaced yet? It is normal for emerge deep to pull in lots of stuff, while revdep-rebuild seems to think everything is fine? My system otherwise works fine, I just like to understand things before I do them and possibly introduce problems

you have to emerge xorg-x11 back. I know this because I did the same as you, unmerging x11-xorg has pulled out this entry from "world" |

I read a few posts in this thread about having a blank screen when upgrading to xorg 7.0. I jsut finished my upgrade and I also had this problem. I ended up solving it my upgrading to the ~x86 version of x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810 (which is version 1.6.1 at the time of this writing).
This caused me to also upgrade the following packages to ~x86 as well:
Code: | x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810 ~x86
x11-base/xorg-server ~x86
media-libs/mesa ~x86
x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa ~x86
x11-drivers/xf86-video-fbdev ~x86
x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse ~x86
x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard ~x86 |
Although I'm not really pleased having to mark these packages as unstable, I am pleased that everything works well
(Just my opinion... this thread is damn hard to search through since it is so long... it would have been much easier if it was broken up into many threads for each different problem... but then again I'm not a forum admin) |

I've got a problem that comes up with startx. I've tried many different /etc/X11/xorg.conf versions, and none of them have seemed to work so far. This is what I've got right now (the important parts, anyway):
Code: | Section "Module"
Load "dbe"
SubSection "extmod"
Option "omit xfree86-dga"
EndSubSection
Load "freetype"

Identifier "Simple Layout"
Screen "screen0"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

EndSection |
I also have another Device that has Driver "fglrx", which is what I was using before, but the guide I was following said to use "radeon" and Option "AGPFastWrite" "1".
Anyway, this is what happens when I run startx:
Code: | ...a whole bunch of stuff...
(==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Fri Aug 4 11:51:00 2006
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
(WW) RADEON: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) found
(WW) RADEON: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:2:0:0) found
(WW) RADEON: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:2:0:1) found
(EE) No devices detected.
Fatal server error:
no screens found
XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining. |
I can see it complaining about two video cards (Radeon X1300s, I had them crossfired before gentoo ), but those are just warnings. I tried adding in the Section "Driver", but that didn't have any effect. Should I add another Driver section for the other card? Why is it messing around with PCI:1:0:1 when it's obviously already looking at PCI:1:0:0?
That's all I can think of. Help...?
EDIT: Well, I commented out BusId and set Driver to "fglrx" and X started. However, the guide seemed to say I should be using the "radeon" driver. Also, I now get pathetic scores from glxgears (125-150fps). |

i have an... odd problem. i upgraded x.org 7.1 and then the ati drivers... and for the most part, stuff works... except for two things. first, when i startx, i get a blank screen and the monitor shuts off (dvi connection in case that matters) -- if i do ctrl+alt+f8 followed by ctrl+alt+f7, i get my screen back so its fine (and gl works, i tried quake4 so no problems).
if i exit x, however, even though it doesn't crash, i can't get back to the console. similarly, ctrl+alt+fx to switch shows things being blank and i don't get back to the console... any ideas?
thanks! |

I heard around the camp fire that ATI have released a driver that is compiled against xorg 7.1, but doesn't provide the new features needed for xv and transparency and all that jazz. So apparently (I can't confirm this, I don't have an ATI card) they "work" but not enough to be considered complete. _________________ Desktop: AMD Athlon64 3800+ Venice Core, 2GB PC3200, 2x160GB 7200rpm Maxtor DiamondMax 10, 2x320GB WD 7200rpm Caviar RE, Nvidia 6600GT 256MB

Since I installed the latest ati-drivers (8.27.10) whenever I startx the screen goes blank for about 15 seconds then goes into standby mode. I can get to my desktop by switching to tty1 (ctrl-alt-f1) and then to tty7(crtl-alt-f7). I also need to do that when the monitor moves to standby mode after idling for 10 minutes. Here is my config files.

Hi,
i just upgraded my old X to the new modular x-server.
But i can't start the server using the i810 driver for my video card (Intel 82852/855 GM Integrated Graphics Device)
Code: | dlopen /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/i810_drv.so : undefined symbol : xf86CreateCursorInfoRec |
I think i have load a module in the xorg.conf . A similar error msg came before i load the "xaa" module.
thx 4 help |

I did upgrade to the new xorg-x11 server, without a a lot of problems. But I wonder what did happen to font server (xfs). |

Nothing, you can still install it if you have some reason. But there's really very little point. |

Why is there a little point of installing the font server ? |

There are only two good reasons to use it.
1) You have lots of really old applications that don't use fontconfig, and you need them to "dynamically" see new fonts you install without restarting X, by restarting xfs. All current apps (gtk+-2, qt-3) use fontconfig so xfs is irrelevant.
2) You run some kind of LTSP-like terminal server setup and you only want fonts installed on one box. |

|
|
I noticed an interesting....behaviour of the ~x86 evdev- driver that the modular X 7.1 package seems to require.
The previously working solution under X 7.0 was:
- PS/2 keyboard with "kbd" driver
- USB mouse with "evdev" driver, using a custom device under /dev/input though udev rule
The updgrade to X 7.1 gave:
- no core pointer
Of course I searched these forums and other places as well, after all, the server is still ~x86, but there was nothing that I could do to make the server detect my USB mouse. I noticed the following:
- The "Name" option was not working
- The "Device" option was not working ( the manual says that /dev/input/event# should work but it did not )
- The "Vendor" and "Product" options did not work either
(My humble question emerged after a while: what IS working with this "upgraded" evdev driver ?)
Finally, since I saw no other option, I pluged in the mouse as PS/2, and after a reboot (yeah, not even Microsoft would have done that better !), I finally GOT a core pointer with evdev, with all functions intact, less the sensitivity.
Now I saw the next problem:
- semi-working keyboard ( the AltGr key did not work, arrow keys and numeric keypad were unmapped )
Apparently, the evdev driver does not care about keyboard mappings and such. So the result:
x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-1.1.2-r1 does NOT like:
- USB mouse (wee, I must be the only Gentoo user with this strange hardware)
- PS/2 keyboard with other than US keymap, 74 keys or less
The solution ? There was NONE, that I could find. Eventually, I downgraded the evdev driver to 1.0.0.5, which immediately gave a working USB mouse, while I was still using the "kbd" driver for the PS/2 keyboard.
I just get curious WHAT is so fundamentally different between these versions of evdev, so a normal USB mouse ( Logitech MX-510 ), that works with everything I have yet tried, is just not accepted ... and how it can be so bad that there is absolutely no information in the error log about what is the problem. "<device name> returned NULL" is not a kind of message that gives a lot of room for fantasy.
I would love to see some solutions for this problem, failing that , it would be lovely to get ideas about what is wrong with the USB mouse detection.... if there is such a generic problem

Same error here - no core pointer. Same solution - downgrade it Although I copied the xorg-server-1.1.1.ebuild file to /usr/local/portage and edited it to require an older evdev version.
Now, here's the funny thing: when I was testing evdev 1.1, I did this:
Code: |
# HAHAHA - 2 kbd/mouse matching same product breaks
# Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier "LogitechReceiverMouse"
# Driver "evdev"
# Option "Dev Name" "Logitech USB Wireless Mouse"
# Option "Product" "Logitech USB Receiver"
# Option "Pass" "1"
# Option "Buttons" "8"
# Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 7 8"
# Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
# EndSection
|
Now, the USB receiver for my Logitech G7 also supports a keyboard, and therefore there are 2 "Logitech USB Receiver" input devices on my system:
Code: |
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=046d Product=c51a Version=4100
N: Name="Logitech USB Receiver"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:02.0-1/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input1
H: Handlers=mouse0 event1
B: EV=7
B: KEY=ffff0000 0 0 0 0
B: REL=143
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=046d Product=c51a Version=4100
N: Name="Logitech USB Receiver"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:02.0-1/input1
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input2
H: Handlers=kbd event2
B: EV=f
B: KEY=c0002 40000000000 1 f8000078000 6639fad84157ad 8e000000000000 0
B: REL=40
B: ABS=100000000

evdev 1.1 obviously gets confused by this, and segfaults
Oh well, I suppose I now see the first advantage of modular X - I can downgrade the evdev driver, and keep the other stuff up to the latest version
I think evdev 1.1 just broken currently, and we should be patient for it to be fixed. |

has anyone had any problems with modular X, or knows of any, with LTSP? we're looking to update our terminal server at work but we aren't sure if we're likely to encounter any issues. _________________ I don't hang out here anymore, try asking on http://unix.stackexchange.com/ if you want my help. |

Hello,
I opened a new thread as I setup a new system from livecd and now I cannot startx. Following the link to the thread as I have absolutely no clue on how to solve thatone. The system runed with gentoo quite long and after last world update i could start x only with vesa driver. As having found no solution, I decided to do a fresh install and now I have the same result.
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-521619.html
I am sorry for posting this in here but it seems to be a generell problem and not a configuration thing as before I had a working system with drm enabled. It worked with both, fglrx and radeon driver ... until the world update..

I have recently upgraded to modular xorg on my amd64-based system. everything starts up and runs fine with nvidia-drivers emerged (FX5500 card), but the colors refuse to look correct. the highlights look overexposed (white-out) and there is a teal outline to every shadow. My colordepth is set at 24 bit and I've run eselect opengl set nvidia several times. Here's my xorg.conf, if that helps:

I had the same problem under ~amd64. Just to repeat what was said, don't allow any updates past version 1.0.0.5. It will render your keyboard pretty much useless. (I thought my hardware was broken until I tried another keyboard and saw that they were both broken under X)
Most of the time ~arch packages are safe. THIS ISN'T ONE OF THEM. _________________ D is awesome.

Have you checked where the monitor cable plugs into your graphics card? The last few times I've seen that problem it was caused by a bad VGA/DVI connection. _________________ D is awesome.

I just migrated to modular xorg 7.1, and every thing went smoothly except when I try to run xterm in my new xorg environment, nothing happens.
The only error message I get on VT1 is:
Code: |
xterm: error while loading shared libraries: libXaw.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
|
Yeah I know it is a problem with libXaw, but the newest version is already installed. Do I have to add something to my path? |
