what's about screen settings and SLI ????

More on xorg-server-1.10 woes:

re-emerged xf86-*-* as suggested by elog and minimised xorg.xconf. Still segfaults.

However, x starts if I use driver="fbdev" or "vesa".

No problems with keyboard (evidently).

More to report:

emerged xorg-server like this:

[ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-server-1.10.0.902 USE="-ipv6 -kdrive -nptl udev xorg -dmx -doc -minimal -static-libs -tslib" 0 kB

and now it works fine. Not sure which USE flag causes the trouble, but I will report back further when I find out.

EDIT:

Sadly it only worked once. Having recompiled xorg-server with different use flag combinations, I can't reproduce the functioning combination. I've had to revert to xorg-server-1.9 and compatible nvidia-drivers.

Everything prior is related to the nvidia driver. xorg.conf is only:

    Identifier "Nvidia Card" 
    Driver "nvidia" 
EndSection

And then I have in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-inputs.conf:

Code: Select all

Section "InputClass" 
   Identifier   "Mouse0" 
   MatchIsPointer "on" 
   Driver       "mouse" 
   Option       "AutoEnableDevices" "true" 
   Option       "AutoAddDevices" "true" 
   Option       "Emulate3Buttons" "no" 
   Option       "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" 
EndSection

   Option       "XkbOptions" "lb3:ralt_switch"
   Option       "RightAlt" "ModeShift"   
EndSection

keyboard works fine in the console, and not at all in kdm. I'll try another *dm.

Cheers,

I'm trying this on a fresh install. Same problem: while the mouse works fine, the keyboard does not work at all. The log file does not even show the server attempting to load/detect the keyboard. obviously, it works fine from the prompt (ie, non-wm terminal).

Incidentally, this is a USB keyboard, using the de-latin1-nodeadkeys layout. Would that cause problems?

Thanks,

EE

ExecutorElassus · Post by **ExecutorElassus** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 10:20 pm

here's some more. the mouse has a device path, which I see thus:

Code: Select all

# ls /dev/input
by-id  by-path  mice  mouse0

However, as you can see, there is neither a device path for "event," nor anything for the keyboard. Why might this be? Would this cause the keyboard not to be detected by X or evdev? Some other site suggested using /dev/stdin, but that seems ... somehow unorthodox. Is there some other path that should be created?

Thanks,

EE

Do you have evdev support in your kernel (CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV)? Seems not.

ExecutorElassus · Post by **ExecutorElassus** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 10:43 pm

ha ha! so, funny story, right?

yeah, I never enabled it.

Well, now I get a whole lot of messages in my Xorg.0.log:

It goes on to add/configure the mouse four or five times as well. However, neither of them actually work in the login screen. I see no error messages. So, everything configures properly (I guess?), but still no input. How do I fix that?

Progress! (?)

Thanks,

EE

How about putting the current log in a pastebin ?
There's nothing about your keyboard/mouse in that snippet, just the pwer button stuff, which isn't useful for anything but saying the driver does get loaded.

ExecutorElassus · Post by **ExecutorElassus** » Thu Apr 28, 2011 1:42 am

duh, whoops. Here's the pastebin: http://paste2.org/p/1388180

Thanks again,

what the...

I seriously have not done anything different on my system in the last two days. I'm updating the world set now, but nothing else.

So, I run 'kdm' tonight, and - in contrast to yesterday, where nothing worked - both mouse and keyboard work with 'evdev' as the driver.

So, huh. Far out.

Now I just have to get fvwm configured again, but it seems to be running (I guess?).

Thanks a ton for the help. I wish I knew what was broken, but it seems fixed now.

Cheers,

EE

I encountered this bug too. I finally solved it by switching to the evdev drivers in the xorg.conf and recompiling my kernel with the evdev functionality enabled. I have no idea why the kbd driver didn't work but it just didn't.

OK, a bit more digging found this in my syslog:

A bit of googling led to adding vmalloc=256Mb to the kernel line in grub.conf

Now X starts just fine.

[SOLVED]

I upgraded from xorg-server-1.9.5 to 1.10.2 last night, rebuilt the x11 drivers, started X and it crashed on the Intel video driver.

I don't know if it matters, but I also upgraded pixman to 0.22.0 in the process. I forgot to save the log file but if someone is interested I can reproduce it. Cheers.
