Failed to load module "record"

pclown · 2009-01-31 16:20:51

I'm trying to install Arch Linux on my Dell GX270 with an Intel chipset I'm nusing the i686 version rather than the xf86_64 version. It has a 2.26 Ghz processor and 512mb RAM

I've tried installing xorg and configured it with hwd -xa and such but when I do startx I get:

(EE) Failed to load module "record" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No devices detected

lspci | grep VGA gives:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)

Some other people seem to have had a similar problem but it was a problem with Nvidia chipsets and I have an Intel one. I tried commenting out the line of xorg.conf where it says to load module record as I've already had to comment the type1 one out but then it just says (EE) No devices detected.

Can anyone help?

have you recordproto installed?

pacman -Q recordproto

pacman -Q record protot returns recordproto 1.13.2-1

Not sure what recordproto was, I tried to modprobe it, but naturally that didn't work. I also did lsmod | grep record but that didn't return anything.

Thanks

check out if xorg works without xorg.conf, and then try turning of hotplugging if it doesn't work:

   Section "ServerFlags"
     Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
   EndSection

I don't understand what you mean by check if it works without xorg.conf, so I looked in my xorg.conf to turn off hotplugging but found a line like the one you posted which says that it's already off. I tried turning it on but it didn't help.

How about blacklisting the module in the MODULES array in rc.conf to see if you can get in. Once you do, you can try to see if you have the module properly installed and if not, try a re-install of the module.

does it work from root?

It doesn't work from root either and gives the same error.

I tried blacklisting it but it didn't seem to have any effect, and I don't really understand why it would. The problem is that it doesn't seem to exist.

What does the module do anyway? I've never heard of it before and it just doesn't sound critical somehow. Googling it just returns this thread. Is it possible that the record module is just a minor thing like the type1 module which I had to comment out and the actual problem goes deeper?
