fresh install Xorg7

vladuz976 · 2006-02-20 10:58:21

on a fresh ftp install of 0.7.1 I installed xorg7 and the -13 nvidia drivers. X starts and is working, only thing is the colors are really messed up, i can't find a way to fix this.
also i installed Eterm and gaim but can't start them. this is the output i get:

[vladuz@box ~]$ gaim
gaim: error while loading shared libraries: libXss.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[vladuz@box ~]$

vladuz@box ~]$ Eterm
Eterm: error while loading shared libraries: libttf.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[vladuz@box ~]$

pacman -S libxss freetype1

also i noticed that everytime i start xfce4 it takes forever and it seems as if it's doing some kind of configuration each time. everytime i kill X and start it again with xfce4 all my configurations are gone. colors are messed up. changing Depth and Modes in xorg.conf has no effect.
what could be going on?

vladuz: seems like your paths in xorg.conf nay not be set up correctly. Make sure your fontspaths all start with /usr/share/fonts instead of /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts, your rgbpath is /usr/share/X11/rgb, and your modulepath is /usr/lib/xorg/modules

thanks, but the xorg.conf file was created with

Xorg -configure

so it already had the correct paths in it.
The problem was that i made a mistake entering the refresh rates for my monitor so X would start but the picture would look really bad.
It works now.

I'm having the same sluggishness trouble with xfce4 and my paths and refresh rates are fine.
Thank god for kde.
