 Posted: Mon May 22, 2006 10:07 pm Post subject: Xorg -configure error? |
 |
|
Hey, i had gnome working earlier today. But through a series of stupid decisions. I cannot start x. In gnome i couldnt change the resolution. So i went to change the xorg file, and i kept editing /root/xorg.conf.new (like a dummy), and nothing was changing. So i thought (like a dummy) to remake x. So instead of running xorg -config, i ran xorgconfig (the manual set up one). After going through this, i could not start X AT ALL. i got a fatal errors..
Now, im just trying to make another working xorg.conf file just so i can boot up gnome again, because this time im pretty sure i know how to edit xorg.conf properly. But i can no longer run
i get the following messages (this is just near the bottom)
| Code: |
Symbol XAAGETStipplescanlinefuncMSBFirst from module /usr/lib64/modules/drivers/chips_drv.o is unresolved!

*** IF the unresolved symbols were reported above, they might not

Fatal server Error:

Please consult the x.... bla bla at wiki.x.org
Please also check the log file at "/var/log/xorg.0.log" for addictional information
Aborted.

Also, on a side note, during boot i get a system.map module not found (or something). Just adding this incase its related.
Thanks a lot for any help

Delete the files /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /root/xorg.conf.new
Then try running Xorg -configure which will create a new /root/xorg.conf.new. Change whhat you need to change and copy it to /etc/X11 |

I still get the same error. Any ideas anyone? I think maybe it has something to do with drivers? But i successfully merged ati-drivers. And i had gnome working earlier, so i dont see what could be wrong :S

I cannot even make an xorg file because of the Xorg -configure error.
Anyone know what this eerror means?

Sorry for not being specific have you tried the aticonfig command since you were able to get the ati-drivers install. If you get the same error as the Xorg -configure error then I'm stumped.
Configure X
Option 1: Newer Drivers (8.21.7 and newer)
| Code: | /opt/ati/bin/aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
|
If this command doesn't create a working Xorg environment, open up your (now modified) xorg.conf file, find the area labelled: Section "Device" and change the driver from "fglrx" to "radeon". This will swich Xorg to using the opensource driver.
View additional options for aticonfig by typing
| Code: | | /opt/ati/bin/aticonfig --help | less |
Option 2: older drivers (pre 8.21.7)

Another thing do you even have and xorg.conf file located in your machine?
Judging from the other post that you may have deleted it and might of not created another one. Just wondering.

This may sound a little word. But, as i got home i chcked the forum, i was just about to do what xmist was saying and, x loaded and im back in gnome. Very weird. I dont think i even did anything? infact, all i think i did do, was delete my xorg. I didnt even think i had one so i was going in to make one, and x started up  .
Whatever it was guys
Thanks for the help
