[SOLVED] X server installation problem

Edit:
Previous title:X server installation problem: (EE) open /dev/fb0: No such directory


Ok, first of all hello. I'm quite a newbie in Arch and it's been by far the most exciting installation so far for me. But it has all turned into frustration because no matter what I do, I don't seem to get any progress to properly installing X. what I did was:

#Step 1:
    pacman -S xorg-server xorg-xinit xorg-utils xorg-server-utils
So i guess I installed whatever I needed for X to work. Now to the drivers

#Step 2:
    lspci|grep VGA
To which the output was
    01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G73 [GeForce Go 7600] (rev al)
So I guess I could install the nvidia drivers as suggested by the NVIDIA section of the arch wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA)
And I did
    pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils

Now, I tried running
    startx
And here's where I get the error:
(==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Fri Oct 21 15:37:05 2011
(==) Using config directory: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d"
(EE) Failed to load module "nouveau" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "nv" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "vesa" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory


From what I gather, it doesn't find the drivers nouveau, nv and vesa (which it shouldn't, because I chose not to install them. I installed the nvidia ones instead) and can't open /dev/fb0

Should I remove nvidia and install nouveau?? And what's that /dev/fb0 it can't find?

Re: [SOLVED] X server installation problem

I don't think that error is relevant, I have no idea why nvidia would want /dev/fd0. Post the full /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Re: [SOLVED] X server installation problem

Ignore the errors and just install and start a window manager?

I don't know if OP is just curious about the errors or is he having some problems starting X.

In truth, I haven't installed a WM yet, but the basic one that was supposed to start with startx (three terminal windows and a clock) don't start. I'll install a WM and be back with news. Thanks

They're not there unless you install them. They don't get installed by default, because really why should they?

/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc is installed by xorg-xinit. You need just xorg-twm, xorg-xclock and xterm:

[karol@black ~]$ tail -15 /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
# 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

twm &
xclock -geometry 50x50-1+1 &
xterm -geometry 80x50+494+51 &
xterm -geometry 80x20+494-0 &
exec xterm -geometry 80x66+0+0 -name login

Re: [SOLVED] X server installation problem

Ok, solved:
I completely removed the proprietary drivers and installed the nouveau driver. Then I installed the xfce Window Manager and now it works perfectly ok. Thanks everyone for their help, especially Mr.Elendig and karol!

Nvidia would've worked as well. Your log showed no errors, the driver loaded correctly. You just didn't have anything for X to run, so it shut itself down. Cleanly.
