Fails to load modules while lauching Xfce4 (SOLVED)

riwa · 2006-04-05 12:42:11

When I type "startxfce4" I get something like this:

Failed to load module: sis (module does not exist, 0)
Failed to load module: vga (module does not exist, 0)
Failed to load module: vesa (module does not exist, 0)
Failed to load module: mouse (module does not exist, 0)
Failed to load module: [AND_SOME_MORE] (module does not exist, 0)

Fatal server error:
no screens found
Fatal IO error 104 (connecting reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
after 0 requests ( 0 known processed) o events remaining.

I have no idea what it means (except that I miss some modules).

those are xorg modules

As xorg7 is modular, you'll need to install the modules you need. At least you should have for keyboard and mouse to work:

pacman -S xf86-input-mouse xf86-input-keyboard

Then you should have one for your video card

pacman -S xf86-video-{your video}

You can see which ones are available from

pacman -Ss xf86-video

Then you need to configure xorg if you haven't done so far.
As root type 'xorgconfig' for a nice script to help you configure it.

I still get the same message after the xorgconfig. (Except the modules not found of course.) I guess there's something I'm configuring wrong . Isn't there an easier way?

there are some other ways. See http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … uring_xorg
