 |
|
Installing xorg-server-1.8.0 from x11 overlay on a new (to me) thinkpad x61s with intel 965GM chipset (x3100). Followed the gentoo wiki, kernel disabled framebuffer drivers, uses i915 KMS driver with KMS enabled by default, xf86-video-intel-2.11 installed.
X fails to start with
| Code: | Failed to load module "dri" (module does not exist, 0)
Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist, 0)
Failed to load module "dri2" (module does not exist, 0) |
| Code: | dmesg | grep drm
[drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0
[drm] set up 7M of stolen space
[drm] initialized overlay support
fb0: inteldrmfb frame buffer device
[drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 |
relevant xorg.conf
| Code: | Option "AccelMethod" "UXA"
Driver "intel" |
not sure how to proceed diagnosing the problem |

hm...
| Code: | # uname -a
# grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log
# grep VIDEO_CARDS /etc/make.conf |
last but not least, exactly which gentoo wiki did you follow? |

followed this here http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Intel_GMA along with various other sites which all said basically the same thing.
| Code: | | Linux virgo 2.6.33-zen1 #2 ZEN SMP PREEMPT Tue Apr 6 07:19:19 EDT 2010 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU L7500 @ 1.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux |

and VIDEO_CARDS="intel"
I just finished installing this system from stage 3 so its a clean slate. I don't think I forgot to set up anything... |

I should probably mention that I compiled xorg-server with udev and not hal. As this is my first foray into udev with gentoo (or any other flavor) I probably don't have udev set up correctly.
EDIT: Never mind, I recompiled with hal and get the same results |

Have you enable the KMS in the kernel?
| Code: |
cruzki@artemisa ~/src/slp $ grep KMS /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=y
CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS=y

Yes, as per the gentoo wiki.
EDIT: I recompiled mesa and it would appear that I have a working configure-less KMS setup... except that its crashing with Fatal: Module fbcon not found, which is built in but for some reason X is crashing because it can't find a module for it.
EDIT2: starting x with "X -retro" works, so it must be an issue with configuration somewhere
EDIT3: huh, well after just emerging xterm and twm I can issue startx and get a desktop without issue, fully KMS and without xorg.conf, so I guess I'm good to go! |
