Hello all, I'm playing with an Kdrive-based image of mine under Qemu. I built Xvesa from the 7.3 release of Xorg, as 7.4 seems to have a regression in TinyX (that's a topic for another email). I'm building the images using the T2 SDE framework, if that's meaningful to anyone.
Everything compiles fine. I am able to launch Xvesa just fine ... but I get no mouse input. It does not respond to a ctrl+alt+backspace signal or a ctrl+alt+F<n> signal (which works before the server starts). Finally, I resorted to launching: sleep 30; pkill X in one console, while launching Xvesa from another console. This at least allowed me to see the output from Xvesa, after the script killed the server: Couldn't find the keyboard driver keybd Could not init font path element blablabla Could not init font path element blablabla X server does not support locale cannot set locale modifiers blackbox: managing screen 0 using TrueColor visual 0x21, depth 16 X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). xinit: conection to X server lost. waiting for X server to shut down The X11 startup script I'm using is: #!/bin/sh . /etc/profile # PATH HOME=/root # ??? # on x86* we usually could use Xvesa, otherwise we rather need Xfbdev if [ -d /sys/class/graphics/fb0 ]; then X="Xfbdev" else X="Xvesa -mode 0x117" fi cd $home xinit `which blackbox` -- `which $X` -mouse mouse,/dev/input/mice -keybd keyboard I have confirmed that it is Xvesa, and not Xfbdev that is being launched, and I have tried every conceivable variation on the server parameters at this point. Now, what really puzzles me: in spite of the error message, I can force a response to keyboard input. If I launch an xterm and no window manager, I can force the xterm to get key focus, and I can type into it. However, nothing I can do will make the mouse respond to motion or to clicks. So, any thoughts on whether this looks like a kernel configuration issue, a build configuration issue, or just a run-time X configuration issue? If anyone is *really* motivated to help :-) I can try to get you a copy of the image I built and/or the configuration I used to build it. -- William Tracy afishion...@gmail.com -- wtr...@calpoly.edu Vice President, Cal Poly Linux Users' Group http://www.cplug.org "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." -- Evelyn Beatrice Hall, frequently mis-attributed to Voltaire _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
