|
|
Hi all,
I recently did emerge -sync && emerge -D world on my u2 + creator3d
Code: |
fb0: Creator 3D at 000001fc00000000 type 83 DAC 10
|
Among the packages compiled were xorg-x11-6.8.2 and kernel 2.4.29. I also plugged in a new monitor, a GDM-5410, but when I rebooted ... no X. On examining the Xorg.0.log, the first thing that seemed to be amiss, or maybe not, but is worth mentioning anyway, was that the Creator card was being recognised as
Code: |
...
(--) SBUS:(0xf0066974) Sun Elite3D at /SUNW,ffb@1e,0
...
|
and the lack of X seems to originate from:
Code: |
...
(II) LoadModule: "sunffb"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/modules/drivers/sunffb_drv.so
dlopen: /usr/lib/modules/drivers/sunffb_drv.so: undefined symbol: cfbCopyPlane8to1
(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/modules/drivers/sunffb_drv.so
(II) UnloadModule: "sunffb"
(EE) Failed to load module "sunffb" (loader failed, 7)
...
|
resulting in no X:
Code: |
Fatal server error:
no screens found
|
The strange thing is xorg-x11 has been updated once or twice and that the /etc/X11/xorg.conf has not been touched for a long, long time. Maybe I'm overlooking something which now should be in xorg.conf, so to quote:

If any more information is required, please ask. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help shed any light on this problem. By the way, X looks really nice and sharp on this screen |

Thanks for such a fast reply Ferris. I added the modules you suggested and X comes up, albeit somewhat more slowly than before. The log reveals:

Here's another fast reply: We´ve (no pun intended ) just witnessed a rat and a snake having a productive dialogue about something other than food. yes, minor miracles do happen sometimes! |
