Re: X Problem

varahan, i too manually did it. I used xorgconfig-textmode which i think you used too. I think you made a small mistake in selecting screens. Do what i did. 

 
pacman -S hwd


hwd -x

cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.hwd xorg.conf

It will work like a dream

yes, there is obviously something wrong with one of the device sections

Code:

cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.hwd xorg.conf

Even on running this command, I don't find the
xorg.conf.hwd file although this command gives out a success msg.

I compared this with the xorg.conf file of Vector linux and found no difference in the cards section.
Anyhow I will copy the important data from xorg file and post it.

Are you looking for it before or after you've run the copy command? tongue

Re: X Problem

I tried X -configure and then ran startx. I got the following error msg.
"using config file /root/xorg.conf
EE failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist,0)
EE failed to load module "i810" (module does not exist,0)
EE no drivers available
Fatal server error: No screens found.

Never had I experienced such problems in configuring X when I tried a lot of distros (slackware,debian,fedora etc)

Re: X Problem

You should't start xorg as root, it's unsecure. Start it as a regular user. If you haven't created a regular user account, the instruction is here:
http://www.archlinux.org/docs/en/guide/ … ml#userman

Do you have  xf86-video-i810 and libgl-dri installed? If not, install them. Post the xorg.conf that you are currently using.

Re: X Problem

I'll try to install xf86-video-i81 and lingl-dri packages.
the xorg.conf file too big to be posted. What are the portions to be posted?

Re: X Problem

Installed both of them. Still the problem persisted. I had only xfce4 installed. Then I edited /home/.../xinitrc file and commented out the exec lines and added "startxfce4" and now xfce4 loads on startx command.
I changed the inittab file "id:5:initdefault" but still I get only the console terminal. again I have to give startx or startxfce command.
The /etc/rc.d/rc.conf file has xdm as module but I don't get the xdm login. why? ( I have one user with password).

Re: X Problem

Completely removed and re-installed arch.
Updated pacman.
Installed xorg and it is ok.

Yet I couldn't figure out where the fault was.

Re: X Problem

glad to hear the problem is remedied; irritating that you don't know the source!
