It said,
"Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list!"

   Your XF86Config file says to use a font server, yet it doesn't
appear that one is running.  You either need to start your font
server (xfs) or add some new font paths.  eg. in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4,
in the Section "Files" add something like:

   FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled"
   FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
   FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
   FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
   FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"

Yes, basically. You still need some more stuff, e.g. a window manager.
KDE or GNOME will start one.

' man mtools ' or ' info mtools ' will give you some valuable

Put a DOS-formatted floppy into the drive. If  ' mdir a: ' doesn't
result an error message, simply ' mcopy /var/log/XFree86.0.log a: '.

This probably means that the file belongs to root and its permissions have 
been set so that root can read-write the file. You have to do a chmod 
command to change its permissions.
Logina s root and type the following command:
%: chmod 777 /var/log/XFree86.0.log.old

this will change its permissions so that everybody is able to read, write 
and execute it. I thinkt hat some people prefer to change its permissions to 
755 ebcause 777 can lead to some security loop holes or something... Not too 
sure about that but try it anyway!

anyone knows why it happens yet.  Somehow, some crucial XFree86

Enable the X Font Server (xfs).

Otherwise ensure you have installed the fonts for X and have the path correct in

The X Font Server (xfs) is not running. Either restart xfs or edit your
XF86Config (in /etc/X11) to use the font directory paths directly (my preference
for occassional use of X on a Internet facing server like a mail server).

   Remove the BusID line from the Section "Device" in your XF86Config-4
file.  It's wrong, and the server would have found the card by itself
if it wasn't for the explicit instruction to look for the card in the
wrong place.

Hey thanks a lot, 

That totally fixed the problem. Those 'wrong' values were actually
what I input during the config process. I ran lspci when it asked for
that info and I guess I didn't really understand the output properly.
However if I just left that step blank, or later deleted the entry
from the config file then everything worked out.

Again, thanks a lot,

  The server needs to have write access to /var/log/ so it
can write its log file.  It sounds like your server doesn't
have root permissions.  It's typical to make it suid root.

Since I can't log in except for a DOS like prompt, how can I change

The 4.4.0 DRM source won't build on some newer kernels.  The 4.5.0 version
builds on the latest kernels as of when it was released (last week).  This
is, however, unrelated to the problem you are seeing.

>i am attching the xfree86.0.log file

According to the log, XFree86 is failing to guess what your mouse device
is.  This is improved significantly in 4.5.0.  If it should still fail to
guess your mouse device there, let us know.  You can give it some help
by creating a symlink from your mouse device to /dev/mouse.

Since you said you see the nVidia logo, it sounds like you're using
their binary driver, which will make it difficult for people other
than nVidia to give you assistance.

My guess would be that you have the wrong nVidia driver installed.

If you want any more assistance from this list, you're going to at
least give us some more information. What card are you using? What
driver and version are you using? What version of XFree86 are you
using? What OS/distribution? Also, the full log file can be helpful,
too.

More data.

I've done the 

XFree86 -configure

and have a file called XF86Config.new  (contents below).

On my QNX box, XF86Config.new resides in my /root directory.

After running XFree86 -configure, it tells me to test the configuration
by running:

XFree86 -xf86config /root/XF86Config.new

I do, and I get an X-windows session (I think) but no icons to click.
Just the mouse pointer to move around

If I try "startx", I get the error I wrote about initially - 
no screens found.

Any more help out there?

Re: [XFree86] fatal server error: no screen found

2003-02-01 Thread Lionel Lecoq
A few more details would be helpful (monitor, graphic card, full XF86Config, full log)
However , from the parsing error and the fact that you are not using the standard
/etc/X11/XF86Config resp. /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (which would be the RH 7.x version for 
X 4.x.x) I
wonder whether you are not using an XF86Config which has a X 3.3.6 format rather than 
the
different format for X 4.x.x (Check whether your config file has a Keyboard and 
pointer section *
version 3.3.6* rather than two input device sections *version X 4.x.x*)

RE: [XFree86] Fatal server error: no screens found

2003-06-05 Thread Cynthia Grossen
The error message is telling you that you either didn't configure X after
installation or the config file isn't located anywhere that X knows of.
(Generally in "/etc/X11/XF86Config", but not always--for windows
especially.)

You can configure X in a number of different ways, "XFree86 -configure" is
probably the easiest.

XFree86  -configure 
When this option is specified, the X server loads all video driver modules,
probes for available hardware, and writes out an initial XF86Config(5) file
based on what was detected. This option currently has some problems on some
platforms, but in most cases it is a good way to bootstrap the configuration
process. This option is only available when the server is run as root (i.e.,
with real-uid 0). 
http://www.xfree86.org/4.3.0/XFree86.1.html

You may also need to use XF86cfg or XF86config. Read their manpages by
following the links in the above link.

Your font server has failed.

Here is a link to Red Hat documentation about the font server XFS
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/ref-guide/s1-x-fonts.h
tml

"Service xfs restart" may work, you'll have to be running as root and X
should not be running. The latter shouldn't be a problem. :) I'm not a Red
Hat user so maybe someone else can help you if you have more questions.

Your second choice is to add the font directories to your config file. This
is the preferred solution. 

Add the following lines to the Section "Files" in the XF86Config file:

   FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled"
   FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
   FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"

You might try the vesa driver, which should allow you to use X at some pretty

I'd guess that there might soon be a new driver out to cover the U1, possibly

Considering the stack of primary devices X seems to find, I think you may want 
to consider setting the BusID to one of them to force X to choose. Currently 
it doesn't seem to be able to do that. Try adding
  BusID"0:8:0"
to your Device section, or if that doesn't work, try some of the other IDs 
mentioned for your primary devices.

The syntax would be:

   BusID "PCI:0:8:0"

That's worth a try.  This is either a mothboard BIOS bug or bus
probing bug in XFree86.  If /proc/pci reports these redundant
S3 devices as well, I would say it's a BIOS bug and you should
look into an upgrade.  If /proc/pci doesn't show the multiple
S3 devices, then perhaps this is a bug that was fixed in XFree86
4.4.

   You're using the wrong driver.  You have an ATI card, not an
NVIDIA card.  In the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file, replace Driver "nv"
with Driver "ati".

Some more information about the type of machine (what kind of video

be helpful.

What if you type "X -configure" and follow the resulting instructions?

"Service xfs restart" may work, you'll have to be running as root

should not be running. The latter shouldn't be a problem. :) I'm 
not a Red

Your second choice is to add the font directories to your config 
file. This
is the preferred solution.

Add the following lines to the Section "Files" in the XF86Config 
file:

   FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled"
   FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"

The link still works it just gets cut by the list software. Just add the

You don't need to add those lines to your config file. However if you do,
this particular problem won't repeat. The link explains more about what you
just did to fix that problem if you're interested in learning about it.

You seem to have chosen to use the generic VGA driver. If I remember correctly 
this mode can only display upto 640x480 at 8 bit colour mode.

You then try to run 16 bit colour mode. This does not fit within the memory of 
a generic VGA card (256 kB). It seems there are two options to solving your 
problem:

1. Use the correct driver for your video chipset.
2. If the generic VGA driver is indeed all your chipset can handle: use 8 bit 
colour mode, or buy a better graphics card.

[XFree86] Re: [XFree86] Fatal Server Error - No Screens Found

2005-01-29 Thread bob
Does that mean I need to update the kernel? I found the following 
information on the agpgart you refer to at: 
http://www.xfree86.org/~dawes/845driver.html



In addition to building/installing XFree86 CVS code, a recent 2.4.x kernel 
is needed. 2.4.19 or later is recommended. If you want to use the DRI 
support, an updated i830 DRM module is also required, and it is best to 
build one from either the XFree86 or DRI source tree. To do this you will 
also need your kernel source installed. Here is an example of how to build 
and load the i830 DRM module:

# cd xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/drm/kernel
# make -f Makefile.linux i830.o
# modprobe agpgart
# rmmod i830
# insmod i830.o
Here is an example of how to install the i830 DRM module so that it will 
be loaded automatically when needed:

# mv /lib/module/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/drm/i830.o \
 /lib/module/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/drm/i830.o.save
# cp i830.o /lib/module/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/drm
For full functionality when using the 852GM, 855GM or 865G chipsets, an 
updated agpgart kernel module is also required. A patch for the 2.4.20 
kernel can be found here, a patch for the 2.5.56 kernel is here, and a 
tarball with the complete source for the agpgart driver in a form that can 
be built standalone for 2.4.x and older 2.5.x kernels can be found here. 
The 852GM, 855GM and 865G support should be included with future 2.5.6x 
kernels.

/usr/X11R6/bin is a directory -- that directory might well contain the
right file.  The name of that file could be X or it could be something
else if you have a weird setup (setup as in distrobution, unofficial
packages, that sort of thing).

I don't think you ever mentioned what kind of setup you are running and
whether you are building XFree86 from source?

One of the reasons why it should not just be a static text but some actual
code running in the server -- the X server knows the path to itself and
the user might not.

try the command which X or which Xserver and see if they find anything.

   There are no errors in either of those logfiles.  They both

Mark.

PS.  You should remove the videoram line from your Section "Device"
in the /etc/X11/XF86Config file though.  The server will autodetect
the correct amount.  Overriding the autodetected value in the XF86Config 
file could cause bad behavior if it's not accurate.

Some thing like that, but not exactly. That is for Intel's chip. You don't have

Some kernel already have it. You just have to enable it. I don't know about 
2.4.7-10. It is available in  2.4.18.

The server log output tells you exactly what is wrong.  You are missing
some "base modules" -- some components required by the X server -- that
should exist below the path /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/.  Specifically you
are missing (at least) the file /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libbitmap.a
and I would assume various others.  You do not have to re-install your
entire OS (afterall, this is not a Redmond product); you should be able
to get away with just re-intalling various XFree86 packages.

The XFree86 modules are located in the base XFree86 RPM package in Red
Hat 9 -- specifically, the package XFree86-4.3.0-2.  You should
re-install this package (and possibly some other XFree86 packages) and
see if your problem goes away.

2004-11-30 Thread Mark Vojkovich
   You have an incomplete or corrupted XFree86 installation.
I have heard of this many times and only on Red Hat 9.  The
only conclusion I can come to is that sometimes Red Hat 9
deletes essential XFree86 modules for some unknown reason.
I don't know of anyone doing a thorough investigation to determine
the cause for sure.  Reinstalling XFree86 alone should be sufficient
to get things working again.
