hwd -x with modular xorg

wtf:

[root@myhost X11]# hwd -x

Not that I need this tool, but do more people experience this?

Re: hwd -x with modular xorg

Given the directory change from 6.8 to 7, I think this is kind of a given... But yeah, I hope a new version hits Testing.

Re: hwd -x with modular xorg

Check the path to rgb.txt in xorg.conf. I had a similar problem with xterm.

FontPath "/usr/share/fonts"

Re: hwd -x with modular xorg

For my information, what's name of the X config in modular xorg?

Currently hwd recognizes the following configs:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
/etc/X11/ XF86Config-4

Re: hwd -x with modular xorg

If still xorg.conf, then "hwd -x" will not say: "No Xserver installed!!"

pressh, do you have /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Re: hwd -x with modular xorg

The file have now moved to /usr . e.g. the X server is now /usr/bin/X instead of the other. Maybe hwd looks in the wrong place?

Re: hwd -x with modular xorg

Trust me, it's still xorg.conf. Use xorgconfig and see where the output goes.

Re: hwd -x with modular xorg

rasat:

Xsample() {
[ -f /usr/X11R6/bin/xorgcfg ] && X_SERVER="Xorg"
[ -f /usr/X11R6/bin/xorgcfg ] && X_CONFIG="xorg.conf"
[ -f /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86cfg ] && X_SERVER="XFree86"
[ -f /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86cfg ] && X_CONFIG="XF86Config-4"

its no longer /usr/X11R6/bin/whatver but /usr/bin/whatever. Try changing that.
It starts at line 48 in mkxcfg.

Re: hwd -x with modular xorg

I don't have the modular xorg installed, for testing purpose add the below lines in /usr/bin/mkxcfg after line 52 ([ -f /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86cfg ] && X_CONFIG="XF86Config-4"). Then run "hwd -x". Let me know if it works.

[ -f /usr/bin/xorgcfg ] && X_SERVER="Xorg"
[ -f /usr/bin/xorgcfg ] && X_CONFIG="xorg.conf"

Re: hwd -x with modular xorg

Hwd-4.8 is now working with xorg 7.x. Detects the driver and does the X configure.

Example:
Video      : NVIDIA Corp.|NV18.6? GeForce4 MX 4000 server: Xorg (nv)
Driver     : xf86-video-nv

Re: hwd -x with modular xorg

I grabbed 4.8 off your site, rasat, after trashing xorg.conf on my second box here. It's great with xorg7. Just two small things I noticed - in the keyboard section, it still put in

Option      "XkbRules" "xfree86"

instead of

Option      "XkbRules" "xorg"

and it included GLcore in the Modules section, which is no longer necessary, and causes an error. Otherwise perfect, and of course, those are very quick to fix anyway.

Thanks. big_smile

No... xorg rules are correct.

Re: hwd -x with modular xorg

Umm..yeah - that's what I said. hwd -x generated "xfree86", instead of "xorg".

Re: hwd -x with modular xorg

Well, it mattered for me - I couldn't do Ctrl+Alt+Fn, or use my Windows keys, until I changed "xfree86" to "xorg". Plenty of others around here had the same problem, and the same fix. If it doesn't matter for you, that's great - one less thing for you to worry about.
