PostPosted: Thu Aug 11, 2005 2:47 pm    Post subject: Problems configuring my X. Reply with quote

After Gentoo was installed I used:
emerge gnome
emerge xorg-x11 (wich was of course already compiled as a gnome dependency)
env-update
source /etc/profile
Xorg -configure
X -config /root/xorg.conf.new (nope, didn't work)
xorgconfig
xorgcfg -textmode (tried the other mode too, but I hated it, especially since my mouse didn't work)
cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
startx (didn't work)
emerge nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx
startx (didn't work)

..and now were here.
This is what's visible from the error report (I don't know how to view the entire report
[/quote]
unresolved!

Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support

Try using
Code:
 /dev/input/mice
for your mouse (??). As far as the nVidia drivers go, look in the documentation (I have ATI so can't help you).

For more help post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log (xorg output).

I'd love to post both of those documents, but I have no idea how. I'm not used to using a computer without a GUI.

I'll try with lynx... :)

Make sure you emerge nvidia-glx, and have nvidia set as the driver in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Afterwards you may need to probe for your nvidia device as root:
Code:

modprobe nvidia


Try and post your xorg.conf here, it would help alot...

How do I copy the document and then post it with lynx? (emerge didn't find ebuilds for links2)

Seriously, I would've already posted the errorlog and xorg.conf in the first post if I knew how. =/ I tried to upload them to upl.silentwhisper.net, but they don't accept the file extension.... :(

Tell me how and I'll post them in the blinx of an eye. :)

Add a .txt onto the end to upload it. :P Anyhow, just do this:

Code:

# emerge nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx
# opengl-update nvidia   (sometimes it needs to be done. I don't know why)
# modprobe nvidia


Then do another X -configure. And make sure that any lines in your xorg.conf file which reference to DRI are commented out.

Fixed, I think. I am, of course, assuming that you have a nvidia graphics card in your machine. You didn't specify.

This time the error-log worked.
http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload1/-Xorg.0.log.txt

That corrected config did work better, atleast the nvidia spash flashed when the moitor restarted.

Okay. Now everything's fixed except the pointer. Try typing "cat /dev/mouse" at a console and moving your mouse around. Type ctrl-c to stop. If you see random blobs of text and characters, then I'm confused. If you don't see anything, then try "cat /dev/input/mice" and see if that gives you anything. Also, do you have a scroll mouse or a normal mouse? PS/2, Serial or USB?

When using /dev/input/mice the random text-blobs appeared (had a little fun for about a minut), also my entire font got dumbed up (it just showed random characters, even during the reboot sequence... after the reboot it worked).

Code:

Keyboard-USB---|
                |---------[transmitter]
Mouse-USB------|

What I'm trying to say is that the keyboard and mouse is connected to one single transmitter (they cam in a set), the transmitter then have a USB for the mouse and one for the keyboard, on those USB-cables I've put PS/2-adapters.

To make a long story short, it should be interpreted as a PS/2-mouse with scroll.

I know this explanation sucks, and the code will probably look screwed up... so don't hesitate to ask if you don't understand. :p


EDIT:
Did X really shut down because the mouse didn't work? Are you sure there's nothing wrong with the graphics?
