Hi
My problem is as the topic. To be honest I don't get where the problem comes from. The log file looks fine. I followed the wiki entries, even in multiple languages.
So what I did is:
- pacman calls for X as in the wiki
- added old xorg.conf file from previous linux system (different distribution) to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d as 99-celadon.conf
- pacman call for vesa graphics
Do I need to use the files which already were there? (10-evdev.conf and 10-quirks.conf)
content of 99-celadon.conf is:
Section "Module"
Load "v4l"
Load "xtrap"
Load "bitmap"
EndSection
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules,/usr/X11R6/lib/modules"
FontPath "/etc/X11/fonts/local"
FontPath "/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "BlankTime" "5"
Option "SuspendTime" "10"
Option "StandbyTime" "15"
Option "OffTime" "20"
Option "DontZoom" "on"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "AutoRepeat" "250 50"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "monitor"
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "videoboard"
Driver "vesa"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen"
Device "videoboard"
Monitor "monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Simple Layout"
Screen "Screen"
InputDevice "Mouse" "Mouse"
InputDevice "Keyboard" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSectionI read in a different post in this forum that dbus should be running, but that did not solve the problem.
Help would be appreciated, I'm running out of ideas

You need to edit you post and use [ code ] tags https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode
like this(if you hit 'quote' on my post you will see how I've done it)
Are you sure you have /usr/X11R6/lib/modules ?
Please post the output of 'pacman -Qqs xf86-video'.
Please post your .xinitrc if you use it to configure your X / start any apps.

Thanks for the hint with the code.
I do not see a directory named X11R6 in /usr
# pacman -Qqs xf86-video
xf86-video-vesaI did not make any changes to the xinitrc file so far.
How does the autoconfiguration work? Any links would be great!

Try using only the stock Arch files and see what you've got i.e. remove xorg.conf, 99-celadon.conf or any other such file.
And post your .xinitrc if you use one.

Ok i removed the 99-celadon.conf file. The two 10-... files are still there. What now?
I tried startx again, same result.
my xinitrc file:
#!/bin/sh
userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap
# merge in defaults and keymaps
if [ -f $sysresources ]; then
xrdb -merge $sysresources
fi
if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi
if [ -f "$userresources" ]; then
xrdb -merge "$userresources"
fi
if [ -f "$usermodmap" ]; then
xmodmap "$usermodmap"
fi
# start some nice programs
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ] ; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/* ; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi

xclock -geometry 50x50-1+1 &
xterm -geometry 80x50+494+51 &
xterm -geometry 80x20+494-0 &
exec xterm -geometry 80x66+0+0 -name loginLast edited by keen90 (2011-08-06 15:15:14)

If I don't start any app, I get a black screen too - it's the default.
are you starting any apps or just bare X?
Offline
well xinitrc should starts some xterms. If that's what you meant. But there are none, just a black screen. I can type eg "halt" and this will work...
