Problems with startx in vmware guest Gentoo

[sandro.grm]

Dear,

my situation is the following. I installed gentoo in the vmware-player running in Windows 7 host. Now will be almost a month having juggling around the X but still not working.

OK. for the starter:

Extra problems but resolved:
I had few problems with the compilation of open-vm-tools-kmod. In files:
/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/open-vm-tools-kmod-0.0.20110328.387002/work/open-vm-tools-2011.03.28-387002/modules/linux/vmci/linux/driver.c
line 39: //#include <linux/smp_lock.h> comment out, can not be found
/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/open-vm-tools-kmod-0.0.20110328.387002/work/open-vm-tools-2011.03.28-387002/modules/linux/vsock/linux/af_vsock.c
line 105: //#include <linux/smp_lock.h> comment out, can not be found

then can be compiled, install and qmerge.

With mesa I followed the Gentoo's Bugzilla – Bug 354607, to obtain the vmwgfx_drv module.



I think that I have all modules instaled and loaded, it shoud work, but it doesnt.

It seems that I have forgotten something to do. Can you help me with this?

Many thanks + best,
Sandro

[chiefbag]

Do you have the following installed?

[sandro.grm]

[sandro.grm]

And here are links to complete dmesg an "lspci -v" outputs.

http://www2.arnes.si/~agrm/files/dmesg.txt
http://www2.arnes.si/~agrm/files/lspci.txt

I cant see any device in /dev associated with vmware, only in /dev/dri/card0, but maybe this is irrelevant.

Thanks for help.

Best, Sandro.

I would recommend to use this xorg.conf as starting point:

[sandro.grm]

Thanks Caludio. I simply copy/paste your xorg.conf and run again in the same problem. Now I have a good reference and will play around.

Best, Sandro.

jup, the same error:

Xorg.0.log

But I'm really suspicious abut the line in Xorg.0.log

[sandro.grm]

Forgotten the dir list:

[claudio]

Thats a part of my Xorg log:

[sandro.grm]

I did rename it and the problem remains. Who knows what is going on, I'm not smart enough to resolve it. In a meanwhile I used your GentooLight.vmdk and works perfect. Probably I will just tailor that one to my needs.

Claudio thanks again for you effort.

Best, Sandro.

PS: I saw that you use x86 and ATA instead, I use amd64 and SCSI maybe that's the reason.

Can you please enter the following thing:

[sandro.grm]

Don't worry. I like to debug things, especially in gentoo.
