That configuration file is still supported and should be bugged upstream. The 'Xorg -configure' command could probably be removed from the book at this point, but it should still work. If one of you that are affected could do a 'startx' without a configuration file, and let me know if the same problem occurs, that would be great.-- DJ Lucas
Hi DJ,
Sorry for the late answer, it was 1st rejected due to its size.
1. The HW where I'm installing (B)LFS is an old IBM Thinkpad T21 (PIII
800Mhz,256MB RAM),
see the attached newlfs.lspci for more info.I installed the base LFS from
scratch on
a blank HD using a life LFS-CD.
2. Before building Xorg I commented some unneeded drivers in driver.wget,
included the ones
mentioned by Wayne. I forgot the vmware driver.
3. now I run your requested test as root:
- remove /root/xorg.conf.new and /etc/X11/xorg.conf
- startx:terminates itself (I think xterm should be included in the BLFS build
schema).
logs attached in newlfs.{startx.screen,Xorg.0.log}
4. My further tests as root:
-> startx -- -depth 16: terminates itself
logs attached in newlfs.{startx.screen,Xorg.0.log}-1
-> X -depth 16:
black screen, no mouse pointer
ctrl-alt-{backspace,delete} does not work.
ctrl-alt-f1 works --> ctrl-c terminates X
-- dri modules not found
-> X -retro -depth 16:
the (legacy/known) X startup pattern is displayed, mouse works,
ctrl-alt-{backspace,delete} does not work.
ctrl-alt-f1 works --> ctrl-c terminates X
-- dri-modules not found
-> ln -s /usr/lib/dri /usr/lib/X11/modules (symlink the missing dri path)
> X -retro -depth 16
the (legacy/known) X startup pattern is displayed, mouse works,
ctrl-alt-{backspace,delete} does not work.
ctrl-alt-f1 works --> ctrl-c terminates
-- dri-modules found
logs attached in newlfs.{startx.screen,Xorg.0.log}-2
Summary for X without 'xorg.conf'
ctrl-alt-{backspace,delete} does not work.
missing dri module path. Create a symlink or set ?modulepath? when
building MESALIB
Me and probably many others are confused about the blank screen when starting X.
This new? habit should be documented in the BLFS-book.
