Can't configure xorg with any of the methods in the wiki...

I've installed arch on (yet another) old PC. I installed xorg, the drivers for my VGA (S3 Savage 4) and got to the point where I'm supposed to configure X.
Xorg -configure: Never worked for me, so it was no surprise it failed to work again.
hwd -xa: Tells me that no xserver is installed, but xorg IS installed, I've verified that I followed all the steps described in the wiki and I've never had to deal with this in the past
xorgcfg: It doesn't exist... it just doesn't exist... It's like it's not even installed, but I remember that it used to be automatically installed with xorg, now even though I installed xorg, it looks like it's not present any more.
xorgconfig: Same as xorgcfg.
Any ideas?

What xorg version are you using? Xorg -configure should give you a pretty basic xorg.conf (created first as xorg.conf.new, you would just have to copy it as xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf), while hwd's not recognizing xorg-server is a known issue. If you can't get a xorg.conf through any of these means, just create one yourself (I created mine).
Here is my xorg.conf:

You could install Hal and see what it does for you, there are users that are running X without xorg.conf, for me Hal just replaced keyboard/pointer support. Sections DEVICE and SCREEN should be diferent for you, of course.
Hope this helps a bit.

    The Mac running Snow Leopard should be able to configure virtually any version of the AirPort Express.

    Hello, I live in the Netherlands and my friend is going to bring me a MAC and an Iphone. I was just wondering is there international warranty? Other question is that can I use Iphone with any simcard that I want? Thanks in advance!

    There is an international warranty on the Mac, but not on the iPhone...iPhone warranties are tied to the country of purchase.  Iphone 5s are currently only available in the US tied to a carrier, you cannot use another nano-sim card in them.

  • I have my iTunes library on an external HD because it is too big for my iMAC 500GB HD. I want to backup my external HD. Can I do this with any Apple cloud product or should I look elsewhere? Also is it worth just buying another external HD to back up

    I have my iTunes library on an external HD because it is too big for my iMAC 500GB HD. However, it is not backed up, so I need a solution to backup my external HD. Can I do this with any Apple cloud product or should I look elsewhere for cloud products? Will it be cheaper/easier just to buy another external HD to back up my existing external HD? Thanks

    I don't know if this is me adding files to iTunes when the external wasn't connected
    it is.
    is it OK to just keep deleting that library on the Air?
    i wouldn't - at least not until i
    mount the external
    point iTunes media folder location back to the external via preferences > advanced
    consolidate my library via file > library > organize library

    in order for your Mac to write to NTFS drives, it needs some help by installing e.g. the NTFS 3G driver. apparently that or something similar is installed on your Mac already. preferably, it would be formatted for Mac but then windows machines would need to have e.g. MacDrive installed to recognize the drive.

  • Path does not chain with any of the trust anchors, but included in cacerts?

    I have implemented a CA that has a self-signed certificate:<CN=ps, OU=JurgenAgten, O=KUL, L=Leuven, C=BE>
    I have a cert from this CA: <CN=realAnonym>
    With this cert, I want to make a SSL connection to some server with client authentication.
    <CN=ps, OU=JurgenAgten, O=KUL, L=Leuven, C=BE> is included in the cacerts-file of the server.
    <CN=ps, OU=JurgenAgten, O=KUL, L=Leuven, C=BE> (Part of trusted CA's) in my opinion match with <CN=ps, OU=JurgenAgten, O=KUL, L=Leuven, C=BE> (second certificate in certificatechain of <CN=realAnonym>).
    But it doesn't ???
    execute the server with -Djavax.net.debug=ssl,handshake gives:

    It is not even done the first validation part on the client side ( if you have not cut the debugs).
    On both, your client and your server, you should add your CA certificate to the trust set. You can first leave the client authentication aside, and do it on the client code to be sure the client authenticates the server's certificate properly; later you can add the same functionality to your server when checking the client certificate. The mechanism provided to deploy this, is either through system property javax.net.ssl.trustStore to introduce your truststore or introcuding your own trustmanager in the codes.
    In case, you want to set it dynamically in the program code, you should consider using your extension of X509TrustManager() . Aussuming it be YourTrustManager, you go like this:
    //YourTrustManager implements javax.net.ssl.X509TrustManager
    SSLContext sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance("SSLv3");
    YouTrustManager tm = new YourTrustManager();
    TrustManager tms[] = {tm};
    sslContext.init(null, tms, null);  
    HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(sslContext.getSocketFactory());Further, you might need to change the default hostname verifier on the HttpsConnection before you can establish a successful handshake with the pattern you used for your certificates.
    Read http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/security/jsse/JSSERefGuide.html in case this does not make it clear enough.

  • When I downloaded pics from my camera to iPhoto it put them in a file that was named with the download date. Can I do that with Aperture (as the download default)?

    I recently replaced iPhoto with Aperture. When I download pics into Aperture they are place in a file that's called "Untitled Project." When I downloaded pics from my camera to iPhoto they were put in a file that was named with the download date (YYYY MM DD). Can I do that with Aperture (as the download default)?

    My apologies.
    When I import I have an Applescript that stores the images in a year month day folder-project structure so I haven;t used the default Aperture behavior in some time. When I tested it out to reply to you I was doing it from the file system and it picked up the date from the folder.  mea culpa.
    Anyway the closest you can get is to have Aperture split the images by date. IN the Aperture preferences set the project split granularity
    Autosplit into Projects
    and then in the import window set
    Automatically split projects.
    This will give projects named Month Day, Year (ie: Mar 13, 2012) there is no way to change this
    As I said I have a script that runs on import and sets up a structure like:
    Of course many here will say not to name projects this way, that Aperture has the ability to sort by date and you're better off naming projects something more meaningful. For them that is true and it might be for you also. For me I like to store my masters this way, it works for the way I shoot.
