# startxfce4

Re: xf86-video-geode on Arch

as the error says, you should install xorg-server, xproto and fontsproto packages, then try again.

The package is xorg-server-devel actually. Arch usually doesn't have separate devel packages, but in this case it does.

But I must say, the ABI mismatch is weird. The drivers are always updated with each X release. XaverOz, is your installation fully up to date? Make sure that it is.

Re: xf86-video-geode on Arch

I need to install  xorg-server-devel. I compile xf86-video-geode, it installs in /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers i copy it into /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers. Now i have next error:
GPIO pins are in serial mode. Assuming no DDC.
