Nexus 7 Xorg freeze

Hello Arch users!

I have installed Arch Linux ARM on my Nexus 7. The system works without any problems except Xorg.

If I type startx the XServer loads but after the first picture it freezes.

My xorg.conf:

Section "ServerFlags"
        Option          "AllowEmptyInput"       "False"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "N7 Display"
        Option          "DPMS"          "True"
        Option          "Rotate"        "Right"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "N7 GPU"
        Driver          "tegra"

        Option          "ARGBHWCursor"  "False"
        Option          "RandRRotation" "True"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "N7 Screen"
        Device          "N7 GPU"
        Monitor         "N7 Display"

        DefaultDepth 24
        SubSection "Display"
                #Modes          "1280x800"
                Depth           24
                ViewPort        0 0
        EndSubsection
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier              "DefaultIgnoreAll"
        Option                  "Ignore"        "On"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier              "N7 HW-keys"
        MatchProduct            "gpio-keys"
        Driver                  "evdev"
        Option                  "Ignore"        "Off"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier              "N7 Touchscreen"
        MatchProduct            "elan-touchscreen"
        Driver                  "mtev"
        Option                  "Ignore"        "Off"
        #Option                 "SwapAxes"      "True"
        #Option                 "InvertX"       "Yes"
        #Option                 "InvertY"       "Yes"
EndSection

Re: Nexus 7 Xorg freeze

You might want to ask over at the Arch ARM forums, as it is an unsupported platform and those people probably know more about the quirks of the platform... besides this being a forum policy :-)

Re: Nexus 7 Xorg freeze

After trying several things and spending more than three hours without any luck I gave up. My set up is now Android and Ubuntu Touch (I hope I'll be able to remove unity and install something else...).
But anyway thank you for the help.

Re: Nexus 7 Xorg freeze

Next time when pasting configs, code or command output, please use [ code ] tags, not [ quote ] tags https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

like this

It makes the code more readable and - in case of longer listings - more convenient to scroll through.
