Re: [gentoo-user] Re: X server - no screens found
The log file doesn't show the usual module loading info. Even though it scans your bus and finds the card, all the basic modules (libbitmap, libpcidata, etc) aren't reported as loaded. Looking closer for the usual message about the ModulePath (which doesn't require an XF86Config entry), I see that it isn't being spit out as part of the usual routine (where it should be around is marked %% HERE %% below) Try adding to the Files section of XF86Config ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules" ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/Server/modules" (or wherever your modules are kept; two locations are likely a minimal because no default is reported) Send me a new log if you want. Maybe the above will fix. Sending message to list as well because my last mail bounced. --DB --- downtime null <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > here ya go! > > XFree86 Version 4.3.0 > Release Date: 27 February 2003 > X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6 > Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.21 i686 [ELF] > Build Date: 14 October 2003 > Before reporting problems, check http://www.XFree86.Org/ > to make sure that you have the latest version. > Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting, > (++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational, > (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. > (==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Tue Nov 11 13:41:58 2003 > (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config" > (==) ServerLayout "Simple Layout" > (**) |-->Screen "Screen 1" (0) > (**) | |-->Monitor "Dell 1025TM" > (**) | |-->Device "NVidia" > (**) |-->Input Device "Mouse1" > (**) |-->Input Device "Keyboard1" > (**) Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30" > (**) Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" > (**) XKB: rules: "xfree86" > (**) Option "XkbModel" "pc104" > (**) XKB: model: "pc104" > (**) Option "XkbLayout" "us" > (**) XKB: layout: "us" > (==) Keyboard: CustomKeycode disabled > (**) |-->Input Device "Tablet" > (**) FontPath set to > "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/" > (**) RgbPath set to "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" > Using vt 7 > (--) using VT number 7 %% HERE %% > > (WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such file or directory) > (II) PCI: Probing config type using method 1 > (II) PCI: Config type is 1 > (II) PCI: stages = 0x03, oldVal1 = 0x, mode1Res1 = 0x8000 > (II) PCI: PCI scan (all values are in hex) __ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

If this fixed the problem, then why were you able to login with newly created users before you removed the 1600x1200 entry? Sounds like something else is going on here. If changing the screen resolution fixes a login/logout problem for selected users, then I'd probably have the computer exorcised :) --DB __ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

The "PCSPP, TRISTATE" is the basic operating mode and very slow. Check your bios to see if ECP or EPP is turned on (ECP is best for printers, EPP for parallel port disks, avoid the ECP+EPP unless you have both through one port). btw, it looks like you have two ports with a single io port. Shouldn't one of these be 0x278? --DB __ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Have you run the gnome configurator (under the System icon) to see if root is allowed to login at all (I don't recall if you did/could before)? If newly created users can login and off, then the gnome system/default files are fine. It's your user account that contains something weird. As an experiment, move all the gnome related directories under $HOME to some other place. See if you still have the same problem. If you don't, then you can start over and if you're interested in finding the problem, compare files/directories. If the problem still exists and you're really keen on finding it, try to break the newly created user account in a methodical way to isolate possible causes. If you're not keen, just use one of the new accounts and maybe ask a gnome related group. > Getting frustrated about this issue. I ask myself what might happen if i pull > the power plug while X is up ? Would this cause the same problem ? (incorrect > logoff, never ever login again) ? Poorly programmed. Sometimes when improper shutdowns occur, the file recovery process on the next boot up "repairs" the filesystem but it can produce text files with a lot of binary crap in them. Open files at the time of shutdown are likely to subject to this. > About the login screen: > > I'm using the following display resolutions in the XF86Config: > "1280x1024" "1600x1200", "1152x864", "1024x768", "800x600", "640x480" > > I had to move the "1600x1200" entry away from the leftmost position to > prevent > the login screen from being opened in 1600x1200, but the login screen gfx is > now bigger than the display resolution. Must i really remove the "1600x1200" > entry from the list ? And where can i find "1280x960" ? No. Use "man XF86Config" and look up the word "virtual" for the Display subsection. To find 1280x960, look in your log file (/var/log/XFree86.x.log, where x is some integer, likely 0) and see if it is recognized during the probe phase. If so, see if it is listed as a Modeline in /etc/X11/XF86Config. If its in the log but not a modeline, add it. Then add it in the Modes section of the Display section in XF86Config I'm not sure how complete the X scan is but lookup your monitor at the manufacture's website to see it it valid. If you can do 1600x1200, likely you can do 1280x960 so that's not really the issue. I'll bet the numbers you need are in the log file, but that's a guess. --DB __ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
