Advent 4213 (MSI Wind?) xorg.conf and kdemod

I have a (not quite so) recently purchased advent 4213 netbook (which I hear is just a rebadged msi wind) and have, after a great amount of struggle due to poor circumstance, managed to get Arch and kdemod installed. kdemod starts from rc.conf just fine but my problem is in the xorg.conf. I have no experience editing these and really don't know what a lot of it means so I used hwd -xa to generate one but it will only give me the 800x600 screen resolution as an option. I tried to use the xorg.conf from my Ubuntu install on it, which gave me better resolutions but, alas, the same happens. I've popped my xorg.conf at the bottom of the post. If anyone could help that'd be tremendous.
Thanks

    and i think i have some udev rules to create those mouse links:
    /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules:
    KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{idVendor}=="056a", NAME="input/%k", SYMLINK="input/wacom"
    KERNEL=="mouse*", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0007", NAME="input/%k", SYMLINK="input/mouse_udev"
    you can try something like this. hope it helps

  • No xorg.conf and x3100 slow performance

    I recently installed Arch Linux on my laptop and almost everything is working fine.  Some time ago,  I used to use a tool that detects my hardware and generates a xorg.conf, but this time, I installed Arch and X is running fine without xorg.conf.
    However, I have a problem with 3D Aceleration. My 3D card is Intel x3100 (GM965). (I installed xf86-video-intel driver) 3D aceleration is very slow. Ive run glxinfo and it shows only NONE and SLOW flags. Some simple opengl games like supertux run very very slow.
    Ive tried to copy and paste a xorg file from a x3100 user, but X didnt work at all. What can I do to enable 3D aceleration. Thanks in advance
    EDIT: I was really happy I didnt have to write a xorg.conf file. Will I have to?

  • Setting up Bumblebee - xorg.conf and /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia

    I have installed Bumblebee and the Nvidia drivers on my Asus N53SV laptop. I am able to run programs such as glxspheres using Optirun. However, I am not sure what to do next if I want to render my desktop using my discrete video card (GT540M) instead of through ordinary Intel graphics.
    Should I copy the file /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia to /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
    Thanks for your help,
    - mark

    I don't see why you would do that. The point of bumblebee is to avoid using the nvidia card unless you start the program with 'optirun'. If you want to render your desktop and use the nvidia card all the time, just don't use bumblebee and directly use the nvidia driver.
    If you really really want to use bumblebee, I guess you could set your login manager to use a xinitrc method, and put optirun in front of the command that launch your desktop.

  • Creation of Functional, Minimal, and Correct Xorg.conf [SOLVED]

    Being fairly new to GNU/Linux in general, and totally green in doing things myself, I foolishly avoided the building of an xorg.conf. Following the beginner's guide in the wiki, I just did an "xorg --configure" which created a base xorg.conf for me. It worked, and I noticed no problems in the general use of my window manager (xmonad). I have an ATI Mobility Radeon X1300.
    I discovered today that I was using the radeonhd driver which was giving me terrible performance in OpenGL applications, so edited xorg.conf to revert back to the plain radeon driver. Upon restarting X, my performance problems were gone, but my fonts in the Firefox interface devolved... I have taken this a wakeup call to actually write a good xorg.conf and to understand what everything in it is for.
    I have done plenty of configuration, though I have never before looked into editing the dreaded xorg.conf, coming from Ubuntu, so I know very little. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Specifics:
    What parts are necessary?
    How do I get the fonts I had before back?
    Graphics is all that concerns me, I have no strange input devices, and my touchpad works fine (I configured the fdi files for that).
    I will list my current xorg.conf below. Fonts worked before I changed the driver from radeonhd to radeon and enabled the option for EXA. Before these changes, all the text contained therein was created automagically by xorg. I have a feeling most of this is unnecessary.

    X searches all of the directories that you had in your original xorg.conf file, and it will load whatever it needs automatically. I don't think your problem is specifically with xorg.conf (or lack of), I think what you're seeing is the DPI changing between drivers.
    Try this with each driver loaded and see if they're different:
    xdpyinfo | grep resolution
    Ah, yes indeed!
    radeonhd: 96x96
    radeon: 129x127
    How do I get X with the radeon driver to use 96x96?
    EDIT: Adding a dpi argument of 96 to /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc fixed the problem. I didn't occur to me that the two drivers would use different dpis.
    Thank you so much!

  • Xorg.conf warnings and errors (hotplugging)

    Does my xorg.conf look ok?
    Just wondering how to fix the warnings and errors in it.

    Heres my xorg.conf too.

    Looks to me like you either need to disable hotplugging or comment out your devices. To disable hotplugging put
    Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
    EndSection
    in there, otherwise, just comment out your devices in xorg.conf and read up on hotplugging.
    Thanks josomebody, autoadddevices has already been disabled though.

  • What's wrong with my xorg.conf?

    I just installed Arch + KDEmod and I think I'd like it, but I can't get any video driver to work correctly.  The open-source ati driver crashes immediately (just like in Ubuntu, I could never get that one to work) so I'm trying to catalyst drivers.  However, it can't go to GUI at all; it gives me an error about no available screens or something.  I looked at my xorg.conf and it looks okay... what's the problem? 
    Radeon 9500 Pro, btw.  xorg configured with Xorg -configure

    PS: I deleted /var/log/Xorg.0.log file, but after reboot it is not recreated. Why? And remember that it said something like:

    [   185.106] (==) NVIDIA(0):     will be used as the requested mode.
    although I was set mode to 1920x1080

    Hi !
    Please don't use xorg.conf, edit the files inside /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ instead.
    I also have an ION board and have working HDMI connection with audio at 1920x1080 using the below configuration. Remove your xorg.conf and then edit these files:
    /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf
    Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "Monitor0"
    Option "ExactModeTimingsDVI" "True"
    HorizSync 14-70

    Option "DPMS"
    EndSection
    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Default Screen"
    Monitor "Monitor0"
    Device "Default nvidia Device"
    SubSection "Display"
    Depth 24
    Modes "1920x1080-TV"
    EndSubSection
    EndSection
    /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Default nvidia Device"
    Driver "nvidia"
    Option "NoLogo" "True"
    Option "ModeValidation" "NoEdidModes"
    Option "UseEdidDpi" "False"
    Option "DPI" "100 x 100"
    EndSection
    Please note that the above Modeline works on my TV (a 22'' low cost brand one) but I cannot guarantee it will work on yours.
    Try that first, then if it doesn't work, try to generate one using the cvt command, and replace the Modeline:
    cvt 1920 1080
    it should output something like this:
    # 1920x1080 59.96 Hz (CVT 2.07M9) hsync: 67.16 kHz; pclk: 173.00 MHz
    Modeline "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
    If this method doesn't work either, try the method explained here (which is the one I've first used to find the right Modeline). Its tricky method, and requires a bit of work and lot of patience ... just don't give up
    Finally, a little bonus . To have working HDMI sound, I have to put these lines in /etc/asound.conf:
    /etc/asound.conf
    pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
    device 3
    Again, you may need to change the device index in your case. You can list alsa devices using aplay -l command:
    **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
    card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: VT1708S Analog [VT1708S Analog]
    Subdevices: 2/2

    card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 1: VT1708S Digital [VT1708S Digital]
    Subdevices: 1/1
    Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
    card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]

  • Xorg.conf nvdia drivers not loading?

    Hello i am trying to configure X with a fresh install of Arch. (First Time)
    And i installed the Nvidia driver
    pacman -S nvidia
    And i ran
    Xorg -configure
    And got an error saying kernel module unable to load and a few output errors, i am unable to paste them so here are the 2 logs for Xorg.conf and kernel log just in case.

    Im almost there. Just hoping i can get this working well.
    Oh and this might help for future editing my monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster

    Just thought id paste it just in case i need to know anything for editing xorg.
    Thanks for any help much appreciated.

  • Xorg.conf file after install? Where?

    I know this is probably the worst question to ask but I couldn't find anything in the search for it.  I just installed Arch (using a .7 CD) with an FTP install and naturally it chose the xorg7 version.  His XServer starts alright but I noticed we both can't seem to find the xorg.conf file... usually it's in the /etc/X11/ folder (I think that's where it is on mine at home.)
    The mouse, screen and almost everything works but for the life of me I can't find this configuration file.  Does it use defaults if one doesn't exist or perhaps it's somewhere I'm not looking?  Any advice would be appreciated as it isn't using the nvidia glx drivers but the basic nv.
    Thanks in advance.
    (Forgot to mention I'm used to using the X.org 6 version on my home PC and just trying to figure this out before I upgrade to 7.)

    mac57 wrote:Alternately, you can just copy an old xorg.conf from another distro you have been using, place it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and edit appropriately. This is what I did, and it worked like a champ.
    You'll want to be carefull about that with xorg7. The path locations will change then. It may be better to generate a new one and copy in the difference in options.

  • Xorg.conf (help)

    Got 2 screens on my computer, a 22" Samsung on DVI and a 40" Sony on HDMI.
    1. My 40" TV automatically becomes the primary screen. I want my 22" as primary.
    2. I want extended desktop configured in the xorg.conf since i need to use the xorg.conf anyway (better to have all settings in one place) 40" to the right of 22"
    3. Resolution as follows. 22": 1680x1050 40": 1920x1080
    4. I want both screens in same xorg.conf (merge the two i have)
    Did a "X -configure" with both screens connected, and one with just 22" connected. Seems it didn't detect 2 screens with both connected. Hope someone can help me with the setup Don't want more changes to these files than necessary, so i can easily remember what to to next time i do a "X -configure"
    Only 22" connected during "X -configure"

  • Xorg.conf file just for synaptics trackpad ?

    I have a problem at the moment with my laptops synaptics trackpad.
    every other distro the trackpad side scrolling works fine but with Arch it only works with an xorg.conf (it did on Xorg 1.5 anyway)
    If I use hotplugging the side scrolling works but after 5 or 10 mins just stops working until I reboot the machine. I have even added the settings into the .fdi file for hotplugging and still it fails after a short while.
    I have only been succesfull when using an xorg.conf but after upgrading to Xorg 1.6 using a xorg.conf has just been a headache (keyboard not working and even kernel panics)
    so is it possible to just have my synaptics settings in a xorg.conf and let hotplugging sort the rest ?
    cheers

    You need to set it up in a hal configuration file just like you would do with your keyboard.

  • Xorg.conf from debian won't work in Arch on the same machine!

    I can't get arch up and running. My keyboard and mouse won't respond to input once it hit startx and enter.
    I copied the xorg.conf from the debian install before I decided to wipe the disk clean and install arch. It is here:http://pastebin.com/m6870dc21
    Then, I tired X -configure and copied the file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and please tell me what I have to write from that file to a pastebin, cos I can't seem to mount my external disk either (ARGH, nothing will go my way!!!!)
    Mouse and keyboard are still frozen?
    - what is the reason for the same xorg.conf not working on both systems? Driver discrepancies?
    I need help. Pretty please. With sugar, honey and chocolate on top.

    Probably only different versions of xorg. See http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor … otplugging
    Arch uses versions that leave it to hal to hotplugg keyboard and mouse, if you don't explicitly disable this feature. Mount external drivers could be related to /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf. I had to add the following to mine:
    <config version="0.1">
        <match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable">
            <return result="yes"/>
        </match>
        <match action="org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.shutdown">
            <return result="yes"/>
        </match>
        <match action="org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.reboot">
            <return result="yes"/>
        </match>
    </config>
    If I remember it right, this depends on what desktop solution you've chosen. I did use xfce when adding those lines, and I kept thunar while using Awesome.

  • Xorg.conf is deleted. When computer boots output is too small to read

    I was experienceing another error with xorg and noticed that my xorg.conf wasnt configured fully so I was going to go and reconfigure it. 
    Long story short, I have deleted my xorg.conf and need to regen a new one. 
    Problem:
    My output is to small to read. 
    I have tried the "Arch Fallback" Grub option.  it still goes to runlevel 5.  If anybody knows how to get the thing into runlevel 3 that would allow me to not format and save lots of time.
    Also i tried sshing into it and I get "connection refused"  So i must not have ssh on.  ... its not really important for this box as it is only a desktop box.

    This is why i deleted my config file.  am a wrong in thinking this is a misconfigured xorg.conf?
    I looked arround and it sounds like i need to manually compile X.  that sounds like it wont work to me.  but maybe.  I have an ATI 4650 using the proprietary driver.  buying and ATI card was the worst choice i think.
    Yes, you're wrong.  That error means nothing, and can safetly be ignored (as annoying as it is).
    And no, you shouldn't need to compile X.

    Just removed /etc/X11/xorg.conf, logged off and then logged in again, tried to start the xserver but still nothing. When is start Xorg nothing happens, only a blank screen so i have to turn off my laptop with the power button. When i startx witch "startx" i get 2 xterm windows and that's, so i must restart my laptop again with the power button.
