Hi,
I just installed gentoo on my thinkpad x200 laptop and was blocked in the startx step.
I followed the guides: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Intel_GMA http://vminko.org/gentoo_manuals/thinkpad_x200 but still fail.

the satuation is almost like
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-88 ... vices.html .
But no luck that didn't help.

Below are some info:
lspci -nn:

kernel config is base on http://vminko.org/storage/x200/configs/config-3.2.12
my grub.conf is:

and I put http://vminko.org/storage/x200/configs/xorg.conf in /etc/X11

startx fail, the log is:

unless youve gotten rid of udev, you should be able to do without an xorg.conf
that would be my first port of call
or...have you tried without an xorg.conf yet?

I can post up my own xorg.conf if need be, but, i only have an xorg.conf because i scrapped udev - with udev, you shouldnt need one, or at most a very minimal one

That is to say if compile xorg-server with "udev" then startx will not need xorg.conf ?
My xorg-server indeed with udev,

I will try compile xorg-server -udev then add xorg.conf
thanks for your kindness, may I have a look at your make.conf package.use and xorg.conf ?

do not rebuild xorg without udev support

X *will* use an xorg.conf if one is present, no matter if you compile with or without udev support - these should go in xorg.conf.d though nowadays (i think?)

my xorg.conf is the same on two systems where i do not use any udev at all, but both are I915 intel cards

nothing fancy in my make.conf
again, do not enable USE="-udev" - or most of these things for that matter. I am running mdev, hardened kernel + hardened profile

Code: Select all

kernel config can come later if needed, but you already have the DRM settings correct for your intel card

hope that's useful

maybe try just rebuilding xf86-video-intel ?

ceyes · Post by **ceyes** » Wed Feb 20, 2013 8:36 am

It works

the solution is: recompile xorg-server without udev and remove xorg.conf

Code: Select all

#cat /etc/portage/package.use
x11-base/xorg-server -udev xorg
net-misc/curl curl_ssl_openssl
media-libs/mesa classic gbm
x11-libs/libdrm libkms
sys-devel/gcc -gtk
app-i18n/fcitx -qt4

#emerge --update --deep --newuse world
#emerge --depclean
#revdep-rebuild

#rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
#reboot

a little question, since startx succeess without xorg.conf, then how can we adjust some xorg-server's config? or it no need to take care?

er...I'm confused, how to explain above's magic worked solution
OK, I will try 'do not enable USE="-udev" ' and 'rebuilding xf86-video-intel'

ceyes,
I have a test environment which use udev and xorg.conf at the same time with vesa. Hope it gives you an idea.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf
http://bpaste.net/show/78483/

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/05-evdev.conf

I have arrived at a similar problem (No devices detected) after udev upgrade. Nothing suggested here (rebuilding xf86-video-intel with or without udev) helped. The problem was eventually resolved by adding

Code: Select all

Section "ServerFlags"
         Option "AutoAddGPU" "off"
EndSection

to xorg.conf. I don't know if this is going to help you, but you may try.
Nor I have any idea if my problem is a result of my own error or some bug...

Thanks for your info, but no luck, that does not work for me.
Now my only walk around is rebuild xorg-server with "-udev" and remove xorg.conf file.

Thanks for the tip, I was trapped in that problem too for one month in one of the computers at work. It was very frustating because the lack of errors. By the way, it have only happens with sandy bridge hardware but not with previous gpus.

Regarding your original post, three lines in the Xorg log file are really relevant to why you can't startx:

[ 1891.766] (WW) VGA arbiter: cannot open kernel arbiter, no multi-card support
[ 1891.766] (EE) Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section.
[ 1891.766] (EE) Device(s) detected, but none match those in the config file.

I'm guessing here the first line triggers the second two. I don't know much about using multiple video cards, so beyond that idk

edit: you may want to check if your kernel is configured with "VGA Arbitration" (CONFIG_VGA_ARB)
