Re: Changing Xserver driver from vesa to openchrome gives ICE I/O error
Hello Oleg, I was on vacation the last week and could not thank you for a response. I made configuration the way you describe and it works. So thank you again. Still I have some issues unresolved : Xserver probes hardware for possible screen resolutions and decides to choose the first one when it boots up. 1. The question is how I can manage it ? I tried to use vga boot parameter so vga=792 but I got I a blank screen 2. now I am thinking to use Modes that Xserver prints in Xorg.log file, and I wonder if these modes anyhow corresponds to vga boot modes? 3. Why Xserver itself ( I am not using window manager) is not capable to fulfill geometry requests, i.e running xterm -g +0,-0 from .xinitc does not place it in a bottom ? Hope you can point me to some directions Oleg Goldshmidt wrote: Lev Olshvang l...@vboxcomm.com writes: So the question - how to set up resolution in xorg or perhaps in .Xresources ?? Well, I don't use Ubuntu, but if Xorg there behaves similarly to, say, Fedora, then Xorg will use xorg.conf if it exists, but by default it probes you HW at runtime and there is no xorg.conf. You can run # Xorg -configure to generate a skeleton xorg.conf file (IIRC, as /root/xorg.conf.new) and edit it to your heart's content. Then test it and put it into /etc/X11/xorg.conf Don't trust me - RTFM yourself. ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
Changing Xserver driver from vesa to openchrome gives ICE I/O error
Hi List, and Hetz I have Ubuntu 8.04 system on VIA motherboard that I installed with debootstrap and addes XFCE afterwards. The X windows works only with vesa driver, I have a similar system where Ubuntu 8.04 is functioning with GNOME on the same hardware. So I copied xorg.conf from the running system to target and X Xindows complains with an error : libxfcegui4-WARNING **: ICE I/O Error Then I switched back openchrome driver to vesa driver X window resume to work. Please advise ??? Lev ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

Re: Changing Xserver driver from vesa to openchrome gives ICE I/O error
Thank you Meir, This exact link is for for Ubuntu =8.10, although I can find stuff for Ubuntu Hardy Meanwhile I found what may be a caause fro problem : The output of xrandr utility shows that with VESA driver the display set to 1200x768 ( it max it can) but with openchrome driver it is set above its limits , smthing like 2000 x 1000 ( I don't remember exact numbers, but 2000 ) So the question - how to set up resolution in xorg or perhaps in .Xresources ?? And As a consequence, I see a blank screen Meir Michanie wrote: Try this, it solved my issues with via motherboard. https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates - Original Message - Subject: Changing Xserver driver from vesa to openchrome gives ICE I/O error From: Lev Olshvang l...@vboxcomm.com To: "linux-il" linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il,"Hetz Ben Hamo" het...@gmail.com Date: 24-05-2009 14:06 Hi List, and Hetz I have Ubuntu 8.04 system on VIA motherboard that I installed with debootstrap and addes XFCE afterwards.
