 Posted: Thu Oct 21, 2004 1:42 am Post subject: Problems starting X [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I have X compiled along with the ati-drivers installed for my Radeon 9800 Pro. I followed all the directions and when I start X you it tries to start and you even get a glimpse of the hourglass. Then it crashes with:
| Code: | Symbol drmGetClient from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.o is unresolved!
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/Speedo/, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/CID/, removing from list!
xterm: error while loading shared libraries: libXaw.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
xterm: error while loading shared libraries: libXaw.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
xterm: error while loading shared libraries: libXaw.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory |
Why would it be doing this? Thanks.

| At a guess, the libXaw.so.8 which is reported to be missing won't be built and installed without the Xaw3d USE flag set. |

| So what would I do? Add the Xaw3d flag, and then what do I have to emerge again? Thanks. |

| I'm having exactly the same error messages - can anyone shed some light on a solution? |

| I just bit the bullet and recompiled X with the proper USE flag (see above). KDE starts up just fine now. Unfortunately last night's upgrade nuked a lot of my config files. I'm rather annoyed at losing a day's work because my computer was compiling all day...but c'est la vie. |

| Did you just "emerge x11-org"? |

| Ok so I added that flag and emerged x11-org again. Now X starts up but just the plain X (not KDE). If I change XSESSION in rc.conf to kde it starts up just a blank screen with an X for the mouse cursor. What else do I need to change? Or do I have to emerge KDE over again? |

Fixed. I put the | Code: | | echo "exec startkde" > ~/.xinitrc |
line in wrong. |

I'm getting these same errors. Since I don't want the new xorg to install the only method I could think of was unmerging xorg-x11 then emerging ati-drivers again (which reinstalls the old xorg).... I added "Xaw3d" to my USE flags but I am still getting the same errors...
When I installed froma Stage 2 I experienced no difficulties with Gentoo, since installing froma Stage 3 Gentoo has been a real pain.
I followed the EXACT same steps I took to get X working and now I'm getting these errors.
| Code: | | (WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:2:0:1) found |
As well as the libXaw errors previously stated. Any ideas? Knowing how to rebuild only the old xorg or how to mask the new one would help. |

| FIXED: I emerged xterm and it fixed the problem... But information on masking only the new xorg or emerging only the current version (no update) would still be appreciated. |

Hi
Having exactly the same problem.
| Code: | | emerge -pv =x11-base/xorg-x11-6.7.0-r2 |
would not show Xaw3d as a valid USE flag then I read your post about xterm.
| Code: | | emerge -pv --newuse xterm |
shows -Xawd3
I put flag into make.conf reemerged xterm and got my Xorg working 
Thanks |
