 Posted: Sun Mar 18, 2012 2:25 pm Post subject: xorg-server cannot load nouveau |
 |
|
hi
I am new to Gentoo. I am facing a problem installing xorg-server. I did what is explained in this page http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml.
xorg cannot start and I get the follwing message:
| Quote: | (EE) Failed to load module "nouveau" (module doesn't exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "vesa" (module doesn't exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module doesn't exist, 0) |
How comes that I am told "nouveau" doesn't exist as I have "nouveau" in the output of lsmod ?
My arch is x86_64 and my card is nVidia G86 (GeForce 8500 GT)
Thank you in advance for help. |

| Did you put VIDEO_CARDS="nouveau" in /etc/make.conf and remerge mesa and xorg-drivers? |

If you would like a second pair of eyes (or more) to look at your setup, run
| Code: | emerge wgetpaste
emerge --info | wgetpaste
rc-update show | wgetpaste
emerge -pv xorg-server $(qlist -IC x11-drivers) | wgetpaste
lspci -k | wgetpaste
wgetpaste /etc/env.d/90xsession
wgetpaste /etc/conf.d/xdm
ls -l /etc/X11/Sessions | wgetpaste
ls -l /boot | wgetpaste
wgetpaste /boot/grub/grub.conf
eselect kernel list | wgetpaste
awk '/Graphics support/,/CONFIG_SOUND/' /usr/src/linux/.config | wgetpaste
eselect profile list
|
and post the url's returned

I had VIDEO_CARDS="nouveau" but I didn't emerge mesa and xorg-drivers.
After emerging them xorg-server is satisfied with "nouveau" no longer (EE) on this but,
I still have
| Quote: | | (EE) Failed to load module "vesa" and "fbdev" (module doesn't exist, 0) |
and plenty of lines
| Quote: | (EE) failed to load module "evdev" (module doesn't exist, 0)
(EE) No input driver matching "evdev" |
What shoul I emerge for "evdev", "vesa" and "fbdev"
Here is my /etc/make.conf
| Quote: |
USE="mmx sse sse2 dvd alsa cdr -kde -qt3 -qt4"
MAKEOPTS="-j5"
INPUTDEVICES="evdev"
VIDEO_CARDS="nouveau" |

Try
| Code: | | INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" |
instead. 
I'm not positive, but I don't think "INPUTDEVICES" will work and because of this, you probably are missing this:
| Code: | | x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev |
Just a guess. ^^
And by the by,
qlist comes from:
| Code: | | app-portage/portage-utils |

After emerging xf86-input-evdev
Seems to be better.
Here is what "startx" returns:

Hi everybody,
after emerging the x11 drivers for vesa and fbdev x start correctly now.
Thank you again.
As I become more accustomed to Gentoo I have a good feeling of both Gentoo and its community. |

| Moved from Installing Gentoo to Desktop Environments, as a GUI question it seems to be a better fit here. |
