Re: Bug?No xserver installed

You should rephrase that question. WHAT did you do? WHAT does it not do? More information would be helpful because, usually, the "bug" is PEBKAC in such a situation.

Re: Bug?No xserver installed

I got a similar problem today. On a new installation hwd -xa could only create a file named XF86Config-4 but it was not bootable. Two weeks ago it worked fine for me.

Re: Bug?No xserver installed

It would seem hwd needs to be updated to accommodate the new xorg version. As hwd is no longer being developed, this is unlikely to happen, unless a new developer picks it up. I'd recommend you use an alternative method to configure xorg.

Re: Bug?No xserver installed

hi guys

I got a similar problem today. On a new installation hwd -xa could only create a file named XF86Config-4 but it was not bootable. Two weeks ago it worked fine for me.

i can confirm that.strange "error"
last week i played a little bit with the xorg settings on my new laptop.
it worked so far, i could see the tree xterms when i run startx but i deleted it again because i tried out several things and i wanted to start with a new clean xorg.conf roll
so today i wanted to continue(exactly the same system as it was a week before), and the same strange error occurred...
and it can't be only hwd's fault, because X -configure doesn't work too...:/

hope some on have any good idea

I just installed 2007.08-2, and after pacman -Syu, and a fully updated system, I got similar results from nvidia-xconfig- and it created /etc/X11/XF86Config...this has never happened to me before. Very odd. Seems like some weird upstream xorg issues lately.

Re: Bug?No xserver installed

So what? Forget about hwd. In almost 2 years of using Arch I've never used that. X -configure is it.

harry: I haven't seen any logs. "Doesn't work" really doesn't work as problem description.

Re: Bug?No xserver installed

hey,

yes you are right, the error is quite likely on my side...

when i run X -configure i got a backtrace with 7 lines of cryptical output...

at the bottom it says: "fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting"

Re: Bug?No xserver installed

/usr/bin/xorgcfg is replaced by /usr/bin/xorgconfig

but uh... yea... hwd is no longer being developed.

/usr/share/hwdata/{pcitable,usbtable,pcmciatable} have newer timestamp than http://user-contributions.org/projects/ … mciatable}.


Fix:

cp /usr/bin/mkxcfg /usr/bin/mkxcfg.orig
vi /usr/bin/mkxcfg

*Press* :

*Type*

%s/\/usr\/bin\/xorgcfg/\/usr\/bin\/xorgconfig/g
