[SOLVED] - Problem with Xorg installation

Hello,

I trying install Xorg (pacman -Syu xorg-server gdm xorg-utils xorg-server-utils xf86-video-ati). But I have some problems..

[i]Xorg -configure[/i]
(EE) Failed to load module "vmwgfx" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) vmware: Please ignore the above warnings about not being able to to load module/driver vmwgfx
(EE) LoadModule: Module xgi does not have a xgiModuleData data object.
(EE) Failed to load module "xgi" (invalid module, 0)
Xorg: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/xgixp_drv.so: undefined symbol: LoaderReqSymLists

Where is vmwgfx? Maybe I have to reconfigure kenel?

Thank you.
================================================

I can't solve this problem because I have no this computer anymore. That's why I mark it as solved.

Re: [SOLVED] - Problem with Xorg installation

I can't help with your installation problems except for finding vmwgfx.  It's part of the kernel package.

$ locate vmwgfx
/lib/modules/3.0-ARCH/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx
/lib/modules/3.0-ARCH/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx.ko.gz
/usr/include/libdrm/vmwgfx_drm.h
/usr/src/linux-3.0-ARCH/drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx
/usr/src/linux-3.0-ARCH/drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/Kconfig
/usr/src/linux-3.0-ARCH/include/config/drm/vmwgfx.h
/usr/src/linux-3.0-ARCH/include/drm/vmwgfx_drm.h

# pacman -Qo /lib/modules/3.0-ARCH/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx.ko.gz
/lib/modules/3.0-ARCH/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx.ko.gz is owned by linux 3.0.6-2

Re: [SOLVED] - Problem with Xorg installation

It looks like you are running Arch as a vmware guest? As the output you posted very clearly states, you can ignore the error about vmwgfx.

But if you are using vmware, then why are you installing the xf86-video-ati driver? You should install xf86-video-vmware instead, as well as xf86-input-vmmouse.

Try it again with the correct drivers to see if it works. There is a page on the wiki about installing Arch as a VMware guest. Check it out!

No, I don't.
