Good morning campers,
Well this morning I finally got to the moment in the 7.8 book where I
run startx but there was no X session only errors. I get the following
from the Xorg log.
[ 7052.330] (WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file
or directory)
A bunch of other stuff happens seemingly with no problem and then I get:
[ 7052.335] (--) using VT number 7
[ 7052.337] (II) [KMS] drm report modesetting isn't supported.
[ 7052.337] (EE) Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section.
[ 7052.337] (II) UnloadModule: "radeon"
[ 7052.337] (EE) Device(s) detected, but none match those in the config
file.
[ 7052.337] (EE)
Fatal server error:
[ 7052.337] (EE) no screens found(EE)
[ 7052.339] (EE) Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file.
According to lspci my video equipment is:
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]
RS780L [Radeon 3000]
In the log I see a number of Radeon and ATI things get loaded.
Obviously I missed something important. Does this look familiar to
anyone? I looked around for a main configuration file but didn't find one.
Don't they use that any more? Just a different file for each section in
the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d directory? Things seem to have changed quite a
bit since my last exposure to Xorg and I need some guidance. Thanks in
advance.
You can remove the ACPI warning by installing acpid.
There are a couple of things to try. You don't say if you installed in
/opt our /usr, but I've found that you may need to do (as root) ldconfig.
This allows the system to find all the needed libraries. This may help
remove the message UnloadModule: "radeon",
Also, you might want to try creating a configuration file:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/radeon.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "raedon"
Driver "ati" # or possibly "raedon"
#Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
EndSection
Other issues for raedon are the installation of firmware. See the Xorg
drivers page.
