 Posted: Fri Aug 17, 2012 8:19 am Post subject: [SOLVED] Gentoo Client on Windows Hyper-V - X support |
 |
|
Hi all,
I have a gentoo install running on Windows Hyper-V server. Install all went smoothly and is much quicker than I expected it to be so all is well on that front.
I want to add in X support and a lightweight DM/WM - i'm looking to Slim/XFce, but that's not the reason i'm posting.
I'm having trouble figuring out how I get graphic support for X.
Having run lscpi -kv I see the VGA adapter as
| Code: |
00:08.0 VGA compatible controller: Microsoft Corporation Hyper-V virtual VGA (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11
Memory at f8000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64M]
Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled]
|
My kernel config can be found here http://pastebin.com/1aeUCnhK
emerge --info is here http://pastebin.com/nJbN6mYB
Output of X -configure is here http://pastebin.com/DTMddsqi
Anyone out there know what I should be pulling in? I know MS only 'officially' supports certain RedHat & Suse distros, but figured if I've got this far then I should be able to get X working too - everything else works fine.
If you need any further info, then just give me a shout.
Thanks in advance

Worry no more everyone, sorted it by adding every conceivable entry to the VIDEO_CARDS variable in /etc/make.conf and rebuilding xorg-drivers.
Thanks. |

| Which driver was it? I'm trying to get xorg up and running in hyper-v client on Windows 8. All I can get to work is the vesa drivers at 1152x864... I need 1920x1200 for native resolution on my monitor. I tried adding almost every driver and recompiling xorg-drivers. Did you get higher resolution? |

Hi,
Didn't get a notification to tell me that you'd replied to this thread - sorry old boy.
Anyway, I know it's late but here you are ...
It was a while ago so my memory is vague, but I expect I just checked what was available against xorg-drivers at the time, and just added them all manually
| Code: | ~ # emerge xorg-drivers -pv
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies ... done!

Something like that. I can't remember which it was that made the difference exactly - it's odd that there is support for both VirtualBox and VMWare, but not Hyper-V - that's Microsoft for you!
Anyway, good luck.
Matt. |
