Having trouble configuring xorg 1.6

Hi all, I've started installing Arch today on my Laptop, using both the official install guide & beginners guide. However after installing the xf86-video-ati, and attempting to configure my xorg.conf file I have run into problems. No errors are displayed after I run Xorg -configure, however as soon as I then run X using the xorg.conf file I have just created, I'm simply greeted with a black screen and nothing else. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I use a minimal xorg.conf file. X is happy without one but I  need to put in things that X cannot figure by itself.
In my case its the fact that I prefer to use the Nvidia drivers.
So my xorg.conf looks like this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Configured Video Device"
DefaultDepth 24
EndSection

  • Having trouble configuring my MI424WR router

    Recently, my laptop started having trouble connecting to the internet (I found out it had trouble finding the router). So I am now attempting to re-connect it to the router, but I've been having some trouble trying to configure the device.
    When I come to the login screen, I have trouble typing in the password. When I type in a letter it adds more characters than I typed (i.e. I type in a "p", and 3 dots show up instead of 1). Understandably, the website does not recognize my mangled password.
    Backspacing does not work. It either deletes the letter entirely, or doesn't delete all of the extra characters (it is quite frustrating, needless to say).
    I've tried restarting my computer and attempting to configure it again, but the same thing happens.
    I almost forgot to mention, I am attempting to establish a wireless connection (that might be important to know)
    (My laptop runs on Vista, I've heard that Fios has some trouble with computers that run on Vista.)
    Please help!

    You may also find this link useful.  It will allow you to download the router manual if pdf format for reference purposes.

  • Have new 1.5 Tb drive and having trouble configuring.

    This is a strange question but heres whats happening. I installed snow leopard on this new drive I bought because I use my computer for work and I did not want to upgrade my main disk before knowing all my apps work. Trouble is now every time I open photo shop it says its not licensed anymore on this machine? So the questions are a. do i have to reinstall all the programs on this HD to make them run.
    The other question is since my original disc was only 250gb and now its pretty much completely full with just applications and running pretty slow, how do I go about sharing apps between the two drives if I do decide to make both disks leopard snow? Can I just drag the application folder over to the new 1.5 tb disk.
    Basically I want both drives to act as one large drive with multiple partitions.
    Sorry if my question is vague/

    This is what I am doing
    I boot from the snow leopard drive,
    I open photoshop cs4 from the applications folder on the HD with 10.5.8 on it
    There is an error saying that photoshop needs to be re-authorized.
    Do I need to reinstall photoshop on the leopard snow HD if the HD that photoshop is installed on is running 10.5.8?
    In the future say I install snow on both drives. What if I install a program like photoshop or logic studio on only 1 of the drives. Does this mean that all the third party plug ins that I have must be installed on the same disk so that there accessed correctly?

  • Using Fieldpoint Explorer, I am having trouble configuring outputs on my RLY-420 and PWM-520 modules attached to an FP-1000 network module

    I have noticed that I can not get my Relay module to turn off all of the channels, also I can only set the PWM modules down to ~4% output.
    I have tried to "Reset" the factory defaults on the FP-1000. I've tried to configure the powerup states of the different modules, all with no luck.
    I have made sure I am running with the latest firmware on the FP-1000
    I did notice this problem before upgrading the firmware. Immediately after doing the upgrade the problem went away for a short while. Now it is back again.
    My system is configured as follows:
    1 FP-1000 network module @address 0
    4 FP-TC-120 modules @1,
    2, 3, 4
    2 FP-TB-10 dual channel bases @ 5, 6
    2 FP-PWM-520 modules @ 7, 8
    1 FP-RLY-420 module @ 9
    Something seems to me to be happening with my .iak file in FieldPoint Explorer, of course I could be completely off base.
    I appreciate any insight anybody might have with this problem

    Kerry,
    There are several different things that may be going on here. First of all, there may be an issue with power consumption. A network module (FP-1000 in this case) is designed to source up to 9 Watts of power to I/O modules. This assumes an average of 1 Watt per module. Certain modules require more than 1 Watt, most require less leaving extra power for the ones that require more. In your configuration, you may be over this depending upon how your FP-TB-10's are populated. Assuming that the TB-10 is unpopulated, your consumption is 4 * 0.35 + 2 * .25 + 2 * 0.6 + 1.7. = 3.8 Watts. Thus, the load from the Dual Channel modules may not exceed 5.2 Watts. If you are using exclusively the Dual Channel Analog Out Current modules, you will overload the power supply.
    Anothe
    r thing to look at is when resetting the network module, check the box that says factory configuration. After the reset, uncheck the box and then configure your channels and power-up values (edit this device on each module).
    Also, there are some times when relays may get "stuck" in an on position due to extremely high inductive loading. I have not seen that happen very frequently, but it does make me wonder, what type of load are you driving on the relay channels?
    The PWM module, has 12 bit resolution, and will accept values of 0% for the output duty cycle. What value for the period have you set?

  • Having trouble connecting Wireless Router to Network

    Hey everyone, I ordered two Encore ENHWI-2AN3 wireless routers and am having trouble configuring the one I want to use as the wireless access point (other one will be used as a repeater.)
    I followed the advice here
    http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-Internet/Wireless-Router-Doesn-t-Work-After-35ft/m-p/206716/highli...
    I disabled DHCP, and set a new IP on the local network. I disabled WiFi on the verizon router as well. When I run an ethernet cable between the two using LAN ports, and try to use WiFi I get a signal, but it doesn't go load.
    I'm assuming I need to tweak something in the "internet" section of the Encore router, the main options are Dynamic or Static IP, PPPoE, PPTP and L2TP.
    To clarify, I am not looking to replace the Verizon router, only use the Encore router for Wifi

  • I'm having trouble connecting my Intel iMac with the internet using wifi router

    I'm having trouble configuring my iMac to accept a connection with my Telstra Elite mobile broadband Wifi router.
    The iMac's Wifi is turned on and the elite router is selected in the Wifi list with a tick.
    The router is turned on, and connected to the internet.
    I'm able to surf the net and collect emails using my MacBook Pro ( what I'm using now) and my iPad with no hassles by connecting them to the Telstra Elite Wifi router. But I'm unable as yet to get a connection using the iMac.
    The Telstra router accepts up to 5 simultaneous connections.
    At present the display on the router says that three devices are connected. They being the iPad, the MacBook Pro and the iMac.
    Can anyone help me out?

    Simple.. bridge the TC.. in the apple utility in the NAT and DHCP area.
    Plug it into the FIOS router.. you can turn off wireless in the TC if you want.. or use it.. it can work faster if you are nearby and can select 5ghz.. but up to you.

  • HT6029 Having trouble restricting the restore function on an iPad through Apple Configurator

    Having trouble restricting the restore function on an iPad through Apple Configurator
    I cannot find the setting the allow/disable this feature.

    Configuration profiles do not allow you to apply a static IP address to a device.
    Instead, it would be highly recommended to configure static IP addressing within the DHCP server itself. This would accomplish what you want without worrying about which proifle goes on what device, etc. Configurator can also export the MAC addresses to make life easier in setting this up.
    Right click the 'All Devices' in the Supervise tab, click Export Info > Device Information > WiFi MAC Address.

  • I am having trouble connecting to my wireless internet. I keep getting message that my network configuration settings have changed. Ive been advised that i need to change settings to look for dynamic ip address ?

    I am having trouble connecting to my wireless internet and am getting the message that my network configuration settings have changed. I have reported it to my provider who advised that they think the Mac is looking for a fixed IP address and they use dynamic addresses. I have had the Mac for months and have not had this problem before. I would appreciate any help please on how to fix this ?

    Then I get a separate pop up that says: Secure Connection Failed. aus3.mozilla:443 uses an invalid security certificate.
    The certificate is only valid for the following names: securelogin.arubanetworks.com, www.securelogin.arubanetworks.com
    (Error code: ssl_error_cert_domain)
    This could be a problem with the server's configuration or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server.
    If you have connected to this server successfully in the past the error may be temporary and you can try again later.
    I have tried many many times!

  • Having trouble getting WDS configured

    I finally had some success last night with a base station that I've been having trouble being able to get connected to the network. I set up WDS and was able to see the base station on the network, but for some reason the main base station would not accept the configuration and lists one of the base stations that I'm trying to use as a relay as unavailable. What would be the cause of this? I am able to see the base station on the network, but since I can't save the base station config. I lose the base station I'm trying to get to work from the network. I also can't seem to get the e-mac to have a valid DHCP address. It keeps being assigned a 169.xxx ip address. I feel that I'm close to getting connection, but I need a bit of help understanding what is going on right now with not being able to save the info to the base stations I'm trying to set up with WDS.

    If you are using Airport Extreme and Airport Express base stations here is the step by step.

  • Having trouble connecting to a mac configured as a wireless AP

    Hi,
    I'm having trouble setting up my wireless network.
    I have,
    1. Macbook connected to internet through a router (via Ethernet), and configured to work as a wireless AP under the sharing panel in System Preference (internet sharing enabled)
    2. Airport Express configured to join my existing wireless network
    3. Xbox 360 connected to the Airport Express via Ethernet
    My Macbook and Airport Express is on the same wireless network, and I can see the AE from my macbook and stream music through airtunes without a problem.
    But I can't go on xbox live from my xbox, getting "xbox cannot obtain a valid IP" error.
    Is it possible to set it up like this?
    any help would be much appreciated.

    rickmasta, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Sorry but that will not work. When the AirPort Express (AX) is connected as a wireless client to the network provided by the MacBook the AX's Ethernet port is disabled.
    To make this work you would need to create the wireless network with another AX, an AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS), or a Time Capsule. Then you would configure that device and your current AX to work together to wirelessly extend the network. Then the AX's Ethernet port would be active.
