Unable to start X on dell inspiron 6400

Hello Guys,


I'm new to Arch, been using Linux for the last couple of years. But finding it hard to getting X to start.

.xinitrc - http://paste.pocoo.org/show/214610
xorg.conf - http://paste.pocoo.org/show/214611
xorg.0.log - http://paste.pocoo.org/show/214612
xorf.0.log.old - http://paste.pocoo.org/show/214613

I get the error message, error setting MTRR inappropriate icotl for device.

I hope this is enough information to help me fix the issue.

Thanks!

nperry,

pocoo.org is not responding, so I can not see the files.

Anyhow, what graphic card are you using ?

And, have you tried without a xorg.conf ?

Tried without Xorg, it fails to.

The graphic card in the laptop is ATI Mobility x1300

Does the log show the same errors when you run it with no xorg.conf? If not, paste that log.

I have a laptop with an ATI Radeon HD 5730 and had a lot of trouble to get it working.

I suggest you start by reading the wiki at:
