 |
|
Hello.
I've a problem. Well, I emerged fluxbox, as it says this handbook. But the problem happens when I write
because the command "startx" is not found.

have you installed and tested xorg?
If you have, what happens if you run:
If you have not, then follow these instructions:

I can see in the instructions that I have to modify the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-monitor.conf
But the directory /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d doesn't exist. Have I to create it? |

You only need to create it if the default settings do not work for your system. Try running
to see if X is working. If it is, then you should not need to mess with configuring it.
Another good test is to try startx again and see if fluxbox starts.

If fluxbox is working, then you don't need to modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-monitor.conf unless your screen resolution is wrong. In that case, you will need to create it.

Yes, my screen resolution is wrong. So I need to create it, ok. |

Mmm, how do I find my monitor device, or how do I identify it?
Because when I run xrandr, it only shows this:
| Code: | $ xrandr
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1280 x 1024
default connected 1280x1024+0+0 0mm x 0mm
1280x1024 0.0*
1024x768 0.0
800x600 0.0
640x480 0.0 |
But the maximum resolution for my monitor would be 1440x900.
lspci shows this:
| Code: | # lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ/P/PL Memory Controller Hub (rev 02)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 01)
00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 01)
00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 01)
00:1d.3 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 01)
00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 01)
00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev e1)
00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801GH (ICH7DH) LPC Interface Bridge (rev 01)
00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) IDE Controller (rev 01)
00:1f.2 RAID bus controller: Intel Corporation 82801GR/GH (ICH7 Family) SATA RAID Controller (rev 01)
00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) SMBus Controller (rev 01)
01:01.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Agere Systems FW322/323 (rev 70)
01:08.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) LAN Controller (rev 01) |
So, I've written this in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-monitor.conf:
| Code: | Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel82945G/GZ"
Option "Monitor-DVI-0" "DVI screen"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "DVI screen"
Option "PreferredMode" "1440x900"
EndSection |
But nothing happens. I used all variants, as Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ, Intel 82945G, etc. |

I did it, but nothing. I also reemerged fluxbox and xorg-server before revdep-rebuild. |
