Unresolved symbols with X -configure, how to fix?

[heavy]

I'm trying to setup xinerama and the first step is to run X -configure

Below are the messages I get when I try to run X -configure, I have no idea what the unresolved symbols are all about.

Can anyone give me any suggestions on how to resolve these unresolvable symbols?

The two video cards I have are:
- ATI Radeon 7500
- ATI All In Wonder

xfree version 4.3.0-r3

I don´t have the solution, but i have EXACT the same problem. Donno whats this all about also. Crawled in the Forums but didn´t find any solution yet. Sorry for bringing up this thread now, but does anyone have a solution??

i got this working by deleting the video drivers I knew I didn't need, then it worked.

might want to try that.

Hi, I've the same problem, following exactly the gentoo installation.

If I moved the all drivers from /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers to a temporary directory, and move them back one by one until I get unresolved symbols. I don't add apmdrv any more, and everything is loading fine until I put back fglrx_drv.o

I don't really know why adding fglrx is causing this, as I need it to have my Radeon 9600 working. It might be a bug in the ati driver

I've done

heh. oh the irony..
x does the same to me. *sigh*

I also have the exact same problem - you can see my thread (with no real help) at forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=138703.

I'm using a mach64/3d rage pro and I have absolutely no idea what I can do to get X working - I'm at my wits end and getting very angry. This is my second gentoo install on the same hardware and I know X works.

It's good though - you guys who have a semi-working install have inspired me to go randomly commenting/uncommenting modules - yipee! And yay for links (directfb rocks!)!

I hope a solution is found,
Cam

hermph!
about 10 min ago. i got xfree going.
i just enabled dri, and volia.

still.. its odd that it wouldn't work w/o dri, but at any rate. x runs.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

No such luck for me - hopefully I'll get this sorted out soon.

ok, well i can suggest you try doing:

emerging xfree-drm with yourcard type.
and also.. maybe enabling dri and glx

if that doesn't cut it. remove the drivers, and then try to run it.
hopefully you'll be aye ok soon!
Wish ya the best of luck!

I just did emerge xfree-drm with cardtype specified as mach64 as I have a 3D Rage LT Pro which (AFAIK) uses a mach64 chipset/driver. I have tried various combinations of commenting or uncommenting the lines

[oai79]

for my case, uncomment "Load glx" did it for me.

[cmack]

Unfortunately that didn't work for me. However, is there a possibility I screwed something up with my kernel?

Thanks for any advice,
Cam

[cmack]

Ok, I've lost it, tell me something quickly before I do a complete reformat (again...).

Thanks,
Cam

I've read that it might work with this version.
Do you have a SiS 648 or 745 motherboard chipset ?
In this case try to patch your kernel (try to search for SiS645 patch) as it worked for me, or change to 2.6.3 or 2.6.4rc kernel.

This bug is growing now (google returns far more result that last month, so I think some people will correct it soon)

Reformating is not a solution (I've done this so many times before and each time I had problems)

Good luck
