There is a pathproblem with my GDM... I am investigating.... Maybe the paths in /opt/gnome/etc/gdm/gdm.conf must be changed too?

Aerandir · 2006-02-20 14:37:53

the path to the xorg binary seems to wrong...

jeebusroxors · 2006-02-20 19:25:09

The new path is /usr/bin/X

Go look for the 4 or 5 lines that have /usr/X11R6/bin/X or whatever it is and change it to that

The gdm version that was in current before Xorg 7 hits it from Testing was version 2.8.0.7-5 and it is NOT compatible with Xorg 7, while the gdm that was in Testing and now is in current is version 2.8.0.7-3, So your pacman will not upgrade gdm but it is needed, so for all gdm users, please do

pacman -S gdm

that will fix it...

Hmm, I'm missing glxgears and glxinfo, but I have no problem playing Nexuiz. What packages provide thos apps?

--EDIT--
Never mind. I just needed "mesa-apps".

mmccaskill · 2006-02-20 20:33:00

radeon x11 driver blows in glxgears now. I get like 200 fps. Yuck! I can't get direct rendering on for some reason.

patroclo7 · 2006-02-20 23:48:21

glxgears and glxinfo are in mesa-apps

I'm having the same problems, the thing is it was working fine with xorg7 before this update. I had installed xorg7 originally from the big dummy package in testing that installed everything and I took this oppertunity to remove alot of the stuff I thought I didn't need. So pretty much all of the xf86-video-* packages are gone except raedon and all of the xf86-input-* packages are gone except keyboard. I don't need mouse since this is on my laptop and I'm using synaptics. I'm not sure if maybe one of the modules needs to be there but isn't or if something else is to blame. What ever it is I didn't see any errors in the logs.

And I have no mouse wheel.
Any suggestions?

Great, that did it. This should be added to the wiki page.

There's already a wiki page. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/How … roll_wheel

Finally got ati-drivers to work but still can't get DRM to work as regular user. I can as root but even then I only get 1000fps.

phydeaux · 2006-02-21 14:32:04

mmccaskill: How'd you get them working?

Panther · 2006-02-22 09:38:53

This works for me, this is my contribution, I hope can help someone in troubles:
pacman -Sy
pacman -Rd xorg-server xorg-clients (if installed)
pacman -Sf xorg-xdm
pacman -S xorg-clients xorg-server
pacman -Sf xorg

pacman -Syu (upgrade all system, almost 200mb)

pacman -S xorg-fonts-75dpi
pacman -S xorg-fonts-100dpi
pacman -S libxcomposite libxss

Enter in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and reconfigure the paths so:
Section "Files"
RgbPath "/usr/share/X11/rgb"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/TTF/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/Type1/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/CID/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/local/"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection

Write startx, if it doesn't works kdm or gdm, write:
mkdir -p /usr/X11R6/bin/
ln -s /usr/bin/X /usr/X11R6/bin/X
If doesn't works, control the errors, maybe it misses a file, install it with pacman.

Moreover, I've a ricompiled kernel with drivers nvidia, so I'm entered on my kernel source and I've written:
make all && make modules_install
generate-modprobe.conf
cp -f System.map /boot
cd arch/i386/boot
cp -f bzImage /boot

At this point I've rebooted and I've reinstalled Nvidia drivers:

./NVidia.xxxxxx.run (WITHOUT OVERWRITE FILE /etc/X11/xorg.conf)

UNIX4ALL · 2006-02-23 18:57:24

Im trying to upgrade, all goes well, but when I startx or run kdm, X returns to console and when I look @ Xorg.0.log I can see this at the bottom of the file:

Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'

I have xorg-fonts-100dpi, 75dpi, Type1, encondings ... installed and I use the instructions in the wiki.

I also, modify xorg.conf and adjust the paths.

Any idea ?

Snowman · 2006-02-23 19:14:06

maybe try:
pacman -S xorg-fonts-misc

What about write this to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "DRI"
    Mode 0666
EndSection

Already have it.

Stinky · 2006-03-01 17:15:43

Hmmmm...I keep getting

failed to load module "i810" (module does not exist, 0)
No drivers available

And it's correct! I look in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers and there is no i810 module in there. Any ideas? ModulePath has been set correctly in xorg.conf
And there's also no i810 module in the old module path either.

Cerebral · 2006-03-01 17:54:07

Perhaps you should install it?

pacman -S xf86-video-i810

phydeaux · 2006-03-01 18:33:28

mmccaskill: My raedon drives just decided to start working all by them selves. Well, maybe there was an update that I overlooked and didn't test, but as of today my system is working. I've made no changes to any of my configs and was quite surprised when I ran glxgears and saw a 4 digit number. Its not much help but maybe there was an update to the xorg packages pushed out that fixed this? I know its not much help, but I was haveing a similiar problem to yours and am now working fine.

Well, I'll be dipped in shit and shot for stinkin'. That worked. Didn't know about that package. Never had to install it before. Thanks!!

Xorg has moved to a modular design. Now, EVERY driver needs to be installed independently of the server itself, input and video alike.
