|
|
I am configuring x11 using xorgconfig. when i finish the config I copy the file to /etc/X11/ then i do a startx. An xserver starts but all i get is a cursor in the middle of a black screen, and i can't move the cursor at all. Anyone know what might be happening?

can you show us your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file for more details ? |

if your screen is blinking, it's because you put your refresh Vertical or Horizontal hz with rong parameters.
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log and past the message error
and /etc/X11/xorg.conf
I had one problem with blank screen, using hardened-dev-sources, but it was a PAX options that i put enable. _________________ Best Regards,

Hi Evian,
I am in the process of configuring Xorg aswell
I was in the same problem as you yesterday, my mouse and keyboard wasn't working.
I just tried various mouse and keyboard choices during the relevant choices while doing the xorgconfig method
Also, what mouse do you have? I originally had a serial mouse connected and then changed to a PS/2 and I got it working when I chose PS/2 in the mouse choice menu
Now my problem is, when I run (by typing startx), the windows I drag around leave behind a horrible multi-colored pixel trail and when I quit the X server, the command line I come back to is all messed up, the margin is a couple of inches out from the side of the screen and some lines are wrapping over to the next line
Oh well, I hope you get your Keyboard and mouse working |

sorry this has taken so long for me to get up here,
to give you some more info, i am using a usb mouse. that might be why i am having trouble. but i think it should still work.
here is my xorg.config file (i will only put the stuff about the mouse and keyboard) :
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "Keyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc101"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
EndSection
Any ideas?
Thanks

evan | Try chaning the device to either "/dev/psaux" or "/dev/input/mice". Does that fix it? _________________ ~~ Peter: Programmer, Mathematician, STEM & Free Software Advocate, Enlightened Agent, Transhumanist, Fedora contributor

/dev/psaux did not fix it. But for some reason I don't even have a /dev/input/mice, could that be a problem?

After configuring my kernel more, I managed to get the /dev/input/mice , but it still didn't work.
Here is the output of
ls /dev | grep in
initctl
input
stdin
I think this is ok now, so now i really don't know what is going on.
