X11 not configured


Hi all,

finally I created an installable CD, based on generic, minimal desktop.
main problem is now obviously the X server.
I can login on a console, but when I try to start with runlevel 5, the X
server does not start:
INIT: Id "X" respawning too fast : disabled for 5 min

messages are:
---------------------------------------------------------
XcfgT2 (C) Rene Rebe ...
Video card: Interl Corp 82845G/....
X driver: i810
/usr/X11R7/bin/xcfgt2: line 103: ddcprobe: command not found
No modes from DDC or FB detection, using defaults!
Using Modes ...
....
The system is now in RC5
----------------------------------------------------------
same messages are seen when I start topic 1 of X11 config in STONE (run
XcfgT2..)

can somebody help ?

Hi,

I belive you are missing a ddcxinfo package that provides dccprobe util.

Mika

Re: X11 not configured


Hi,

are you using 7.0 or trunk to build? If you might have used a revision
some days
/ weeks ago where the xcfgt2 script was not yet adapted for the i810 to
intel
driver rename as it happened upstream at X.org.

I'll also check if the 7.0 tree requires the patch for the driver rename.

Yours,

Re: X11 not configured


hi,

I added the ddcxinfo package with a config rule, as Mika wrote (thanks
Mika!!)
This seems to be a bug in the package selection of the generic/minimal
desktop target.
Now xcfgt2 script is running without errors.
But still the x server is not starting.
There is this respawning too fast message, and after five min a dark screen
for a minute, and then again the message.

I'm on 7.0 rc2

Re: X11 not configured


Hi,

the ddcxinfo is not a hard requirement, it's optional to guide mode
setting for some
old drivers (or better more drivers some years ago before they gained
more fine
grained DDC and modesetting control).

The bug will be that the xcfgt2 script assumes the X.org driver is named
i810,
while the latest Intel driver are installed named "intel".

You can fix this in the package/xorg/xorg-server/xcfgt2.sh and then
rebuilding
the xorg-server to get the new file, and re-create the ISO:

./scripts/Create-ErrList -newremove
./scripts/Build-Target
./scripts/Create-ISO

let me know if it works, I'll also later review this and merge the
changes from
t2/trunk.

Yours,

Re: X11 not configured


hi
this is from xorg.conf:
	Identifier  "Card0"
	Driver      "intel"
	VendorName  "Intel Corporation"
	BoardName   "82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics 
seems the driver name is ok ?
its not from xcfgt2, but from X autoconf
I also used the xcfgt2 generated file and set the driver here to "intel"
I also tried an xorg.conf from a puppy system (adjusted paths).
The puppy live CD works perfectly on the same hw.
Actually I used puppy to rescue the xorg.conf, and log.

Re: X11 not configured


Hi,

Yes, intel looks good.

My "over night" 7.0 test build indeed results in a "Intel X.org" driver
named "intel"
as opposed to the former "i810".

So I just merged the adaption of xcfgt2 to the new naming from trunk to
the 7.0
branch.

Committed revision 30123.

Yours,
  René

Re: X11 not configured


it was a good idea to rebuild the xorg-server with updated driver name
(although it was a hard work to convince T2 that it must REALLY rebuild the
pkg, it did not work with your procedure).
status is now:
- using XcfgT2 creates an invalid xorg.conf :confused:
- using X automake creates now a usable xorg.conf:-)
- starting with runlevel5 will now bring up an X login screen:jumping:
- after login there is blackscreen with a moving mouse cross:confused:
I expected a window-manager. I configured one in stone.
problem is now how to leave that screen and go back to stone to configure
something.
