 |
|
If i do X -retro -config /root/xorg.conf.new, works fine, i can see the black and white pattern with a mouse ( X ) in the middle. Then i press Ctrl+Alt+Bskpc (it shows an error "Module i915 not found. error setting MTRR"), copy cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf, try to startx and get:
| Code: | FATAL: Module i915 not found.
error setting MTRR (base = 0xc0000......) Inappropriate ioctl for device (25)
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 62: exec xterm: not found |
I checked the kernel and i have that i915 installed (*, M didn't work). |

Maybe you updated you xorg-server and x11-drivers don't work with it? Try rebuilding your x11-drivers (and some more things, but they all are small so it shouldn't be a problem):
| Code: | | emerge -av1 $(eix -sI xf8 --only-names) |
(if you don't have eix then emerge eix) |

I installed twm xterm, as it says in the documentation, and worked (i see 3 windows-consoles).
Thanks!
I guess it's a bug...  |

| Not really a bug, just your misconception. |

well it should say "missing windows manager" instead of that i915 error.  |

1. Try xinit instead startx (see aboout ~/.xnitrc) - you probably will start desktop environment not X 
2. # line 62 exec xterm |
