Posted: Wed Jan 16, 2013 12:58 pm Post subject: installing X problem [SOLVED] |
|
|
oi, newbie here
I had great fortune to get new computer.
Installing gentoo took 3 hours from inserting a usb to reboot.
but this X thing has me occupied since...
Problem is I can not get X to work,
so kernel and some configuration problem I suspect.
Whit kernel "set to go" I get at boot time a pause at secon point seven,
than scrolls down to 66 seconds when is next pause,
next scroll down to over 100 seconds,
where is stops.
At this point I have to reset box and boot with old kernel
Since I am noob, I call myself a gentoo desktop user,
I really do not know what I should paste,
here is something I think might help us out for starters:
Code: | kishta grom # wgetpaste /etc/portage/make.conf
Your paste can be seen here: http://bpaste.net/show/70631/
kishta grom # wgetpaste /etc/portage/package.use
Your paste can be seen here: http://bpaste.net/show/70632/
kishta grom # lspci > lspci.text
kishta grom # wgetpaste lspci.text
Your paste can be seen here: http://bpaste.net/show/70634/
kishta grom # rm lspci.text
kishta grom # emerge xorg-server xorg-x11 radeon-ucode xf86-video-ati -pv > some.relevant.emerges
kishta grom # wgetpaste some.relevant.emerges
Your paste can be seen here: http://bpaste.net/show/70638/
kishta grom # rm some.relevant.emerges |

while true,
Did you configure the kernel correctly for the ATI video driver
This outline might help: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7113858.html#7113858 _________________ Good luck

oi BillWho,
That looks promising, thank you.
In kernel I do not have firmware for my model options:
Code: | Device Drivers --->
Generic Driver Options --->
-*- Userspace firmware loading support
[*] Include in-kernel firmware blobs in kernel binary
I can not get in here, and here I should choose my card |
This is connected with radeon-ucode, which I have installed.
How do I get it to show up in kernel configuration?
Thank you _________________ Kind regards, Goran Mitic

while true,
The best approach is to follow the the instructions for module configuration. Then you don't need to include any firmware.
[*] Prevent firmware from being built │ │
│ │ -*- Userspace firmware loading support │ │
│ │ [ ] Include in-kernel firmware blobs in kernel binary │ │
│ │ () External firmware blobs to build into the kernel binary │ │
│ │
The output of lsmod:
Code: | radeon 758899 2
ttm 51206 1 radeon
drm_kms_helper 23067 1 radeon,[permanent]
drm 195240 4 radeon,ttm,drm_kms_helper
fb 45503 6 radeon,fbcon,tileblit,bitblit,softcursor,drm_kms_helper
i2c_algo_bit 4385 1 radeon
cfbcopyarea 2958 1 radeon
cfbimgblt 1887 1 radeon
cfbfillrect 3002 1 radeon

You will still need to emerge sys-kernel/linux-firmware, but it will not be required to be built in-kernel _________________ Good luck

oi BillWho,
well I am noob,
and I am unsure when it comes to experimenting...
... so I prefered to stay with build in version.
On that note, my problem was that I was expecting,
as noob would, that kernel would offer me what I can choose,
I certainly did not expect that I should TYPE anything in to kernel,
but this was the case: LINK
After that little thing (and after 6 days of head banging)
I have my new PC up and running!
BillWho, thank you again for stepping in! _________________ Kind regards, Goran Mitic
