Re: recover a broken installation
Hi Piyush, your problem seems to be unrelated to X.org, which is what this mailing list is about. Please continue further discussion off-list, at askubuntu.com or answers.launchpad.net . You can remount the root filesystem with mount -o remount,rw / . However, this will probably not work due to the file system being damaged. Use fsck -p /dev/sdaX (fill in your root partition for "sdaX") to repair it (Chances are, you may need to manually confirm some important changes). After a reboot, the root filesystem should be mounted read-write. If you can restore settings and data (Basically /etc/ , /home, database/webserver directories in /var and dpkg --get-selections), formatting the partition and reinstalling Ubuntu may actually be the easier option though.

Re: i couldn't start an application which is installed on the Server with Graphic User Interface
X applications (such as the ones rendering the graphical interface from
your Linux Server) need an X server they can talk to. The X server
renders the drawing commands by the application.
While Ubuntu includes an X server, Windows does not. You need to install
a Windows X server such as Xming (*and* enable X11 forwarding in your
ssh client).
Alternatively, you can use another protocol such as VNC or nomachine nx.
You'll need a Windows client and a server on the .. well ... server. Be
warned that X tends not to perform well over high-latency low-bandwidth
links. Both VNC and nx are far more suitable on such
Additionally, the output
> Error in startup script: can't read "xcrys(platform)": no such
> variable while executing
> (...)
indicates an error in the application you're using (XCrySDen). Please
contact their support. Since you are apparently not running the latest
version, I'd encourage you to do so before reporting a bug.
Cheers,
Philipp

Re: Issues with 2nd display being treated as primary (when not plugged in)
With a modern X, you should be able to leave the xorg.conf basically empty. Is there a reason why you populated it? Additionally, while I'm certainly no X expert, the Option "Enable" "true" lines seem suspect. Why do you need to turn on a monitor that's not connected? Also note that for LVDS1, the "Primary" option is ignored (line 432) and "Enable" is superfluous anyway. You can configure multi-monitor stuff with xrandr nowadays. Feel free to drop me your Skype, Jabber, or icq ID if you need additional clarification (Disclaimer: I'm not an X developer, just a user and administrator). This mailing list is fine too though.

Re: xditview '.' hangs: Errata to my previous mail :(
Sorry for the mixup, corrected:
You've just introduced a race condition: What if I delete the file just
after you called *stat* and create a *directory* in its place? Use fstat
instead of stat.

How To debug evdev
Hi xorg list, my currently running X.org (1.7.7, from debian unstable) does not recognize USB input devices anymore. The devices show up in /dev and in a second X instance. However, I'd like to solve the problem once and for all and not lose my preciously configured X session. I assume the problem is in the evdev module as new devices do not show up in /var/log/Xorg.0.log as they usually do. So, how do I debug evdev? Is there a suitable way I can access X internals of a running session or restart evdev, but not X?
