 Posted: Sun Sep 07, 2008 1:22 am Post subject: [SOLVED] Notepad X can't find screen. |
 |
|
Hi Folks,
I am trying to install X on Dell Latitude X300. Gentoo is installed and largely working. However I am having some problems configuring X. Install completes without complaint. When I try to configure X as per Gentoo docs, it complains about screens being found, but none have a usable configuration.
Before I get into too many details, one major concern for me is that when I type lspci, it returns: -bash: lspci: command not found.
I am using gentoo-sources with genkernel, just to try to avoid any other problems. I have fixed up the bios along the lines of the wiki http://gentoo-wiki.com/ACPI/Fix_common_problems and the basic procedures indicated here http://pof.eslack.org/blog/2004/01/06/linux-on-dell-latitude-x300/.
I have used a similar xorg.conf to this:
| Code: | Section "Files"
# local font server
# FontPath "unix/:7110" # xfs-xtt
# FontPath "unix/:7100" # xfs
# if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
# FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/TTF"
FontPath "/usr/local/share/fonts/windows"

Try typing "/usr/sbin/lspci" instead of simply "lspci". In general, /usr/sbin won't be in a typical user's $PATH. And if that file doesn't exist, then emerge pciutils
As for the X problems, I didn't see anything obviously wrong in the xorg.conf, but I'm not really an X expert... Just make sure you have all of the drivers you need installed, such as x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810 |

HI Folks,
Problem solved. Thanks SiberianSniper for the tip-off. This led me on to downgrading that package to <2 which then solved the VideoRam problem it throws up.
