X troubles
After upgrading my X packages a few days ago, I'm suddenly getting this: X: exec of /usr/bin/X11/ failed _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111 giving up. xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error. I upgraded again, to a8, but it hasn't fixed the problem. I can't see what's wrong, seems to be somewhere in startx which is a binary :(.

RE: X troubles
Yeah, I think that was a thin on the information - sorry about that. I ran XF86Setup, the graphics version and my video card is not listed so I chose the standard vga. I knew it wouldn't be great, but at least a start. On the monitor I first selected from the bottom of the list of abilities. I also chose 800x600 with 16 bpp (my first attempt was much higher). The results was a very fuzzy screen, and ctrl-shift-bkspace... My monitor has a range from Horiz 30-96 and Vert 50-160 and that doesn't work either. The graphics card is an AGP so nothing seems to detect it, and from what I have read nVidia is only starting to be supported by Linux (is that correct?).

RE: X troubles
What is Sid or Woody? I'm not familiar, how would I know? I'll get xfree86 v4.1 and run the configuration tools. Good suggestion on compiling the nv driver into the kernel, I found something on the nv site for that.

Re: X troubles
The easiest way to install the NVidia driver is to install the Debian nvidia-kernel-src and nvidia-glx-src packages, which will download the files from nvidia and create .deb packages. This process is not automated, so read the docs. Bob On Fri, May 10, 2002 at 01:58:17AM -0700, Darren Martz wrote: > What is Sid or Woody?

Hi, Check file /etc/X11/Xserver, it should have server name in it, like: more /etc/X11/Xserver /usr/bin/X11/XF86_S3V Console The first line in this file is the full pathname of the default X server.

X troubles (serious) with testing/woody
Hello. Today I ran apt-get update; apt-get -u upgrade and found that new X is out. "Yay!", I said. :) I ran the complete upgrade. About 13 packages were kept back, so I sequentially upgraded them too. Now I closed X and reconfigured it. Now when I run 'startx' this is what happens: X: cannot stat /etc/X11/X (No such file or directory), aborting. I checked the directory structures of /etc/X11 and noticed files are not where they are supposed to be. Lots has changed. So, I removed xfree86-common package and all thousand or so dependent packages and started from scratch. All I can simply ask now is, "What do I do to make X work?". If everything fails, I will just compile X, but I want to keep that as my last resort. P.S. As topic indicates, this is a woody/testing box. Thanks in advance.

Re: X troubles (serious) with testing/woody
To quote RAccess <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, # P.S. As topic indicates, this is a woody/testing box. Unless I'm mistaken, you can use the "task-x-window-system" package to install X. Since you've uninstalled everything, this is probably your safest bet. Keep in mind there are, as of yet, no GUI tools to configure XFree 4.0.x.

NVidia drivers, X troubles (Debian 3, linux 2.4.18)
Hi. I'm an end user with delusions of modest competence. I had debian 3.0 with linux 2.4.18 kernel set up on a hard disk from an old machine, and recently moved it over to a new machine: Shuttle XPC SN45G Processor: AMD Athlon XP 2500, 1.87GHz, 333MHz FSB Mainboard/Chipset: FN45, NVidia nforce2 ultra 400 ATX RAM 1GB (2x512MB 184pin DIMM, DDR 333, PC2700) Primary Master (hda, root on hda1): 2GB hd Primary Slave: Samsung ATAPI 20x CDROM Secondary Master (hdc, home on hdc1): 8GB hd one PCI slot: Creative 56k v.92 PCI modem (controllerless) one AGP slot: ASUS GeForce4 MX440 8x AGP, 64MB onboard LAN, Firewire, USB This thing is pretty obviously designed for windows, but I seem to have gotten Debian back up and running in a minimally usable state, although at present the kernel is compiled with the processor type set to 486 instead of Athlon/K7 (having trouble with modules, especially the hcfpci modules for the winmodem, when I recompile and/or simply insert the K7 image with apt-get). Here is my main problem: I've downloaded and installed the NVidia drivers/modules for the Asus video card I have in the AGP slot, but when I reconfigure xserver-xfree86, choose the nvidia driver then startx, I get a "EE: no device found" error. When I do lspci -vvn I get the following entry for (what I think?) is the video card: 03:00.0 Class 0300: 10de:0181 (rev a2) Subsystem: 1043:8063 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop+ ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66Mhz+ UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- SERR- [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- AuxPwr- DSI- D1- D2- PME- Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- Capabilities: [44] AGP version 3.0 Status: RQ=31 SBA+ 64bit- FW+ Rate=21 Command: RQ=0 SBA- AGP- 64bit- FW- Rate= but the first item returned by lspci also mentions AGP, but with I/O- rather than +.

Have you tried "modprobe nvidia"? Any errors when you do? Or, when you run lsmod, does nvidia show up in the list? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
