Hi, I'm using the radeon/radeonsi driver (VIDEO_CARDS="radeon radeonsi") because I'm using a HD7850 on a fresh install of amd64 Gentoo with the kernel being linux-4.1.12-gentoo. When I use "xinit /usr/bin/awesome" (Awesome is a window manager), I get a "no screens found".
However, using "startx /usr/bin/awesome" works fine. I don't have an xorg.conf (I haven't make one anyway).
My Xorg.0.log.old (when starting X with xinit): http://fh.tl/1n
The part that seems to cause the error is here:
| Code: | [ 2072.380] (EE) RADEON(0): [drm] failed to set drm interface version.
[ 2072.380] (EE) RADEON(0): Kernel modesetting setup failed
[ 2072.380] (II) UnloadModule: "radeon"
[ 2072.380] (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
[ 2072.380] (EE)
Fatal server error:
[ 2072.380] (EE) no screens found(EE)
[ 2072.380] (EE)
|
My Xord.0.log (when starting X with startx): http://fh.tl/1p
My Linux .config file: http://fh.tl/1k (CONFIG_DRM_RAEON_UMS is set to n because x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati told me it shouldn't be set in the post-emerge messages)
My /etc/portage/make.conf: http://fh.tl/1E
3D acceleration appears to work, but it is capped at 60Hz (that's fine).
Why doesn't xinit work?
Thanks. |

Why at all are you doing that? https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Awesome#Starting recommends to put certain things into ~/.xinitrc.
Doesn't that work for you?
P.S.
If you really want to use the xinit command directly, see man 1 xinit |
