 |
|
I've installed Xorg by following the handbook, however I have a seemingly unsolvable problem with it. After the install I ran "startx" and got the "Fatal server error: no screens found", so I decided to check my xorg.conf file. However when I saw the file was not there, I tried to generate on with "X -configure" only to get another error.

List of video drivers:
radeon
ati
No devices to configure. Configuration failed.
|
Has anyone encountered this problem before? |

Well, let's start with:- What video card do you have? What's the output of
Did you install any video card drivers? If so, which ones?
What's the VIDEO_CARDS variable in /etc/make.conf set to?- John

It's a Radeon X300SE according to lspci(Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 [Radeon X300SE]), and I have installed the xf86-video-ati drivers. The VIDEO_CARDS variable in make.conf is set as "radeon". |

|
|
I just upgraded xorg and am having the same exact problem with an intel chipset. X would go through the init process, detect my screen video card, mouse, and keyboard. Load the intel driver, start the screen on vt7 then claim there were no screens and no devices and exit even though it had detected them and started on vt 7. My only recourse was to switch from using the intel driver to the fbdev driver. Neither intel or vesa work.
I cannot stress this enough, if you have a working xorg are are not using nvidia don't upgrade. Who ever pushed a higher rev of xorg, shouldn't have. I'm trolling the fourms for similar problems. No luck in finding anything. My google skills have failed me. If the issues are related they are xorg and not hardware issues if I were to venture a guess.

I'm having the same problem in a new installation. startx says "no screens found" and X -configure says no devices to configure. I have an intel chipset ("VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)") which lspci says isn't using any modules. lsmod returns an empty list. I tried it with the xf86-video-intel driver and got nothing. I also tried it with the vesa driver and got the same result. Graphics work fine under debian.

I think I tried starting udev, to no avail. I managed to fix it though by reinstalling from an un-broken stage3.
