 |
|
Hi all.
After a long time away from Linux and Gentoo, ive just done a gentoo 64 install.
After the intiall install I just did "emerge kde-meta" and let that run.
Im starting to think I should have read more before I did that. Should I have complied for 32 bit?
When I try to startx (not as root) I get the following errors:
(EE) Failed to load module "radeon" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) "" "" "mouse" ""
(EE) "" "" "kbd" " "
(EE) No drivers available.
Fatal server error:
no screens found
XIO: fatal IO error 104
after 0 requests (0 known processed)
The only module I have running (lsmod) is ndiswrapper (which is working, need to set up wpa_supplicant one get KDE up)
To set my xorg.conf i just ran xorgconfig. xorg -configure threw "Fatal server error: Caught signal 11"
I can post my xorg.conf if needed.
Thanks for the help. |

You probably need to add something like...
| Code: |
VIDEO_CARDS = "radeon"
INPUT_DEVICES= "keyboard mouse"
|
...to your make.conf and reemerge xorg since you may have last installed it before it went "modular".

Thanks,
I added those and did a emerge xorg-x11. Just waiting for it run through.
Starting to think I should have got X sorted before niavly and blindly doing emerge kde-meta and hoping it would be all good....By doing things this way will there be any detrimental effects?
Thanks. |

A bit of a guess but X and KDE should be independent .. so should not matter...

Right im getting there.
Now startx opens twm (only as root, normal user it thinks about but quits)
I did an emerge -p kde-meta and there is nothing there.
There is no "startkde" command therefore copying the command to .xinitrc doesnt work.
???
Thanks
<edit>
Ok, so ive done /usr/kde/3.5/bin/startkde (not as root)
xsetroot: unable to open dispaly ''
xset: unable to open display " "
kwin: cannot connect to X
kpersonliser cannot connect to X

Create a .xinitrc in your /home directory...
....then type startx at the command line.

Thanks, im now in KDE!
Its a very ugly KDE though, (its at 640x480). In xorg.conf i altered 8,16 and 24 bit colour so only 1280x1024 is there but still kde loads at this resolution. In kde itself and perhiperials there is only that resolution, no others to choose from?
Thanks
edit - when i exit kde there are a few background errors -
xset - bad font path eleement (#60)
could not find artswrapper executable and
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display "0:0"
edit2 - Ive uncommented the glx line in xorg, it doesnt throw that last error anymore but still looks ugly??
And also - kdecore (KLibLoader): WARNING: KLibrary: /usr/kde/3.5/lib64/kde3/kcm_kdnssd.so :undifinded symbol: init_kdnssd
X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3

Did you enter the correct driver for your video card in your xorg.conf?
Example:
| Code: |
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Technologies, Inc. RV350 [Radeon 9600]"
Driver "ati"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "AGPMode" "8"
EndSection

You may want to consider that, though your card should support 2D. Or at least it did with my X800 XL. Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log
for any errors loading the radeon device.
| Code: |
cat Xorg.1.log | grep EE
