PostPosted: Mon Nov 17, 2008 6:24 pm    Post subject: [solved] Xorg config problems Reply with quote

Well as the title implies i have xorg problems. Im running a ~AMD system completely up to date as of 16/11/2008. Unfortunatly I have not set up my wifi drivers in linux yet and i only have access to a wired internet conection for about 2h a day. I was able to get a limited amount of information from copying files but hopefully it will be enough for you get a rough idea of where i am so i can suply more information.

This is what it breaks down into. When i run 'xorg-conf' the screen flashes black and stays like that, and CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE does not work. After changing to another screen (ALT+F2) and changing back (ALT+F1) everything is good and i see some information about my xorg. Upon looking at the file it generated i see some problems right away. My system has an nvidia board on it, ethernet adapter, usb adapter etc are all nvidia. Durring the hardware detection it detects all of these as display drivers and tries to load them with the nvidia driver.

What i can get is my xorg.conf and my xorg.8.log

Xorg.8.log
Code:

If you need anymore info it would be nice to explain if (possible) how to save terminal output to a text file. I am not in the mood for writing down 100s of lines of text, and since X is not working i do not know how to copy paste.

Do you actually use 16 monitors on 16 nvidia cards? (I haven't seen a system capable of this so....just asking here ;])

Go back, copy /etc/X11/xorg.conf.example into /etc/X11/xorg.conf and
edit by hand leaving only one "Device" section, one "Monitor" section and one "Screen" one like this

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "MyKeyboard"
    Driver      "kbd"
EndSection

Section  "InputDevice"
    Identifier "MyMouse"
    Device    "mouse"
    Option     "Device"   "/dev/input/mice"
    Option     "Protocol"   "IMPS/2"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
      Identifier "MyMonitor"
EdnSection

Section "Device"
      Identifier "MyDevice"
      Driver       "nvidia"
EndSection


Section Screen
      Identifier "MyScreen"
      Device    "MyDevice"
      Monitor   "MyMonitor"
     
      DefaultDepth    24

      SubSection "Display"
              Depth             24
              Modes           "1440x900"   <---------- Replace this with resolution of your display !!!!
      EndSubsection
EndSection

Section "Serverlayout"
       Identifier     "MyLayout"
       Screen        "MyScreen"
       InputDevice   "MyKeyboard"   "CoreKeyboard"
       InputDevice   "MyMouse"        "CorePointer"
EndSection

Yes if you look at the "board name" variables you see they are everything with nvidia in them. So unless my USB port is a display adapter i am rather confident it has "craped out". Thanks dmpogo ill post the results when i get them. Im on my wired internet now so all is a bit easier

UPDATE: Thanks a million worked like a charm, there were some minor errors in you syntax but with the little i know about xorg i could fix those. Now onto the hell of getting wireless to work

Given that I typed it in from my head, not too bad :)
Wireless is not that difficult either :)

Actually for me it is. I have the infamous AR5007 card. Which needs a special HAL to work. For now i will see if i can get the ath5k drivers working because i have heard those work without any changes required.

EDIT: the fixed xorg.cong if anyone needs it

Code:
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "MyKeyboard"
    Driver      "kbd"
EndSection

Section  "InputDevice"
    Identifier "MyMouse"
    Driver    "mouse"
    Option     "Device"   "/dev/input/mice"
    Option     "Protocol"   "IMPS/2"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
      Identifier "MyMonitor"
EdnSection

Section "Device"
      Identifier "MyDevice"
      Driver       "nvidia"
      Option     "NoLogo" "true" #this one just annoys me
EndSection


Section "Screen"
      Identifier "MyScreen"
      Device    "MyDevice"
      Monitor   "MyMonitor"
     
      DefaultDepth    24

      SubSection "Display"
              Depth             24
              Modes           "1440x900"   #<---------- Replace this with resolution of your display !!!!
      EndSubsection
EndSection

Section "Serverlayout"
       Identifier     "MyLayout"
       Screen        "MyScreen"
       InputDevice   "MyKeyboard"   "CoreKeyboard"
       InputDevice   "MyMouse"        "CorePointer"
EndSection

I had a similar issue with my nforce-based system and X -configure when I had sensor drivers for lm-sensors. Don't know if it's related to your issue, but it put stuff for every device into my xorg.conf

Glad you got it working on its own though.
