experiences with xorg-x11-6.7.0

asimon · Posted: Thu Apr 08, 2004 8:32 am Post subject:

Here xorg-x11 isn't working at all. Every module, every driver fails to load because of unresolved
symbols like

(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libxf4bpp.so
dlopen: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libxf4bpp.so: undefined symbol: xf1bppWindowPrivateIndex

or

(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nv_drv.so
dlopen: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nv_drv.so: undefined symbol: fbdevHWSwitchMode

or

I) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.so
dlopen: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.so: undefined symbol: __glXActiveScreens

and many others.

Everything is ok except my "Alt Gr" key is not working, anyone know how to fix that?

Anyone know if it works well with a S3 Savage????
Maybe even Savage-DRI?

Found another problem....mplayer will encounter some errors while playing avi files....I am re-emerging mplayer to see if this is able to fix the problem.

Edit: re-emering mplayer doesn't solve the problem. And I found if I use 'mplayer -vo x11 abc.avi', it will work but can't resize the screen. However, with default vo, which is xv, the avi movies cannot be played.

the only noticiable change i have is that my glxgears points drop 2000. i was getting 2400+- with my fx 5200 and now i have 150+-. anyone with the same problem? but the problem seems to be only in glxgears since i played ut2k4 and it's in the normal framerate...

Worked almost flawlessly for me. The only thing that doesn't at the moment is gdm. I get a message saying that it "seems to be crashing" and that it will use another chooser. I'm re-emerging it now, so I guess that will fix it.

Also, as a note, I did my switch with my system fully prelinked and nothing broke.

Do any other people with nvidia's think that general usage of X11 is faster, window redraws and stuff like that?

Got it working; the synaptics touchpad driver wasn't bundled in; I had to manually install it. Everything works fine except the gray screen at the beginning and the screen has distorted once for a split second and blanked randomly for a split second another time.

I didn't have a font problem or any other problems honestly. It was a pretty smooth transition. Good job x.org!

Did anyone successfully build xorg-x11 with pie?

Pretty smooth upgrade here.
All I did was copy my old XF86Config file over to the new xorg.conf, run opengl-update ati (just to make sure) and symlink /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11 to /usr/lib/opengl/xfree (otherwise it wouldn't be able to find the glx module).

Smooth here, 3d accel 'n everything. All is back to normal.

Is x.org's font directory /usr/share/fonts?

Got it working like a charm, removing xfree and installing xorg was really easy

Posted a little "howto" here collecting tips I found in this forum.

Cheers

Has anyone tried this on a Mac yet? The ebuild only lists ~x86 and ~amd64, but I'll probably add ~ppc and give it a shot. Hey, someone has to try

I just got an iBook yesterday (my first Mac) and am going from stage 2 to stage 3 on it as I type this. Rather than building xfree and having to change it later, I'd prefer to do it just once.

I'll let you know how it goes.

It's up and running for me

I don't see any differences but well, it was at least fun to compile

I'm not sure, but the startup (time from startx to mousecursor popup) seems a bit faster than with xfree

The only thing that bugs me is that all ebuilds that depend on xfree wont accept xorg as an alternative

worked like a charm on my nx9005 laptop (which can be an ass sometimes...) too. it is bugging me tho that portage wants to emerge xfree again. i know i can just inject it...still would be nice to fix.

I have unmerged xfree und merged xorg and now my fonts are somehow strange because proportions and spacings got screwed up.
my XOrg.log says:

Have a look at /etc/fonts/fonts.conf
