Now the problem / symptom:
Starting x causes the right crt to calibrate and flicker for a moment and then falling back to a black screen, no desktop (:
Leaving x, the crt recalibrates again (this has happened also before the last Syu, it's ok)
Any guesses and/or hints beside roll back to the previous xorg-version?
thx

A college at work is trapped with quite the same problem.
Today, he upgraded the system, using mga driver (matrox 450 dual head). XOrg starts fine, but the screen is totally messed up (lines across the screen, in different kind of colors, some lines remain black also).
I'll go on trying to downgrade the mga package, hope it won't break xorg completely. Now i just need to find a repo with the old driver still available .

  • Why does FF4 start to download an image once more which is already on screen when trying to save this image?

    I look at a picture from a photo-site - size 11 MB. I decide to save this picture > right click > save image as.. The download window opens and FF downloads the picture once more which is already somewhere in FF's cache or memory.. I can see that data comes from the internet and not from a local place on my computer and the process can be rather slow, when the remote server is slow.. I find this as a waste of bandwidth.. Is it possible to avoid this behaviour?

  • Just restored to 3. Because once more I lost all my ReminderFox data during the upgrade. Not listed under tools . note to say not compatible with version 9. When will it be OK to upgrade to version 9 AND keep reminderfox intact?

    Firstly, what do I have to do so that, when I upgrade FireFox, there is a restore point set? Do this manually? If so, alter your install procedure - a message to say - set a restore point now, because it won't be set automatically.
    once more, after upgrading, my ReminderFox is gone. How can you do this? Offer something so good that becomes so important and then we lose it when we upgrade. I have installed 3.6 and my reminders are back! PLEASE let us know when you are releasing an upgrade that is compatible with ReminderFox

  • Infinity nightmares once more

    And so i find myself looking for help once more on these forums.
    Ever regret taking up the offer of an apparently better infinity experience by getting in touch with kelly communications for the modem refresh?
    Since then i have seen my infinity speed drop from 22 meg ( it was 15meg not the 35 implied pre install on day 1 and after 4 -5 callouts i gave up and accepted 22 meg).  Have to say Chris the Mod from here really went out of his way to help me.
    Since Kelly communication came and changed modem my speed has dropped and where previously speedtest.net showed constantly the same results it is so sporadic now - one minute its 9 meg then its 18 meg then 14 meg or 16 meg - you get the picture!!!
    I wonder was it due to the modem being off while it was being switched has caused the system to think there was a line speed and mess things up?
    So being an idiot i thought oh lets upgrade to infinity 2 the idea of surely a better speed was worth restarting my contract? Sadly today was my live day and it has proved to not be the case.  Im getting even slower speeds than before ranging from 9-14meg!  Btlinetest says 13 meg - funnily enough just slightly above the 12.8 they consider to be an issue ???  Did it not used to be 15meg?
    Yes i appreciate it is a 10 day window for learning but something is wrong when you end up with a slower speed and a ping in the 40-50s.
    I have tried resetting the hub, made no difference.  Im scared to touch the modem in case rebooting it makes things worse - ie system thnks there is a line fault.
    Any ideas?

    Hi
         You could try turning the vdsl modem off and on once to see if it helps ( the only way you could trip the dlm is if you sit there and reset the modem a lot off times).
     There could be a fault on your line resulting in low speeds, to be fair I would consider 13 meg down to be a bit off an issue.
    I guess you have a choice you could reset the vdsl modem once and leave it on for up to  3 weeks to see if your speed recovers ( assuming the dlm has reduced your speed due to a possible fault).
     Or you could get back in contact with the forum team and discuss your current issues with them to see if they can help you.
    Hope it gets better for you soon

    I switched to arch64 and with it came the new xorg 1.6. Now X won't start with the configuaration I used before and I can't figure out what to do about it.
    I want to use two monitors (laptop + external) with an Intel X4500 HD und xf86-video-intel. I found out, that it doesn't like the virtual screen I defined. If I remove that line everything works fine for the laptop-monitor. With the virtual screen defined I get an error in xorg.0.log

    Ok, I fixed it. Just added
    Option "AccelMethod" "UXA"
    Option "Legacy3D" "False"
    to my device-section in xorg.conf. EXA produces the error above.
    Maybe I'm looking at the wrong point, but could someone give me a hint where I can learn more about UXA/EXA. The problem seems somehow solved, but I'd like to learn more about this and would like to understand what the problem was. Right now I don't even know what makes the difference between UXA and EXA It just works.
    And somehow google doesn't make it a lot clearer for me right now...

  • I will give $100 to the person who can solve this problem once and for all.

    I'm not even kidding, dude. We can do PayPay, I'll mail you a check, whatever you want. That is how frustrating this is, that is how badly I want it fixed, and that is how much overtime I've worked lately thanks to being shorthanded at my place of biz-nass. I'm an hombre of my word, so if you actually come up with a solution that works, the cheddar will be yours. Okay let's hit it.
    It's the skipping thing. First 10-12 seconds of a song - every song - will play fine, then iTunes skips, stutters, and basically does the god **** hokey pokey and shakes it all about. It happens most notably with songs that I double-click to play, but I'm pretty much noticing it on any song now after a transition is made. I've been using iTunes for ages and this didn't happen until the upgrade to 7.3. I have poured over these forums for nearly a week, tried every solution offered (even offered one of my own that actually worked for maybe four days before the whole thing started up again) and NOTHING. To save us all some time, here's what I've tried:
    - Downgrading. I'll admit I didn't do this correctly at first. I didn't remove everything according to the support guidelines, but I went down to version 6.05 and that did nothing to quell the skipping. I upgraded back up to 7.3 because hey, why not, and attempted the remaining trial fixes. I have since removed both iTunes and Quicktime, step my step according the the guidelines, and not only have I downgraded to my current running version of 7.2, I put both of the programs on my F drive (as opposed to the default C drive), my gigantic bonus internal drive where I typically keep nothing but my giganto music library. I thought putting the app on the same drive as the music might fix things. I thought wrong. Dead wrong. Dead diddly dum iddly wrong.
    - Quicktime settings. My settings for Quicktime have always been in safe mode with the output size at 16 bits. So when I saw this "fix" I just rolled my eyes. I used to have that dealio back in the dizzle when iTunes would just get all static-y and skip when I'd open other programs or even just minimize it, so that fix worked for that, but it's nothing compared to this. In simpler terms, that fix is like Superman, and this skipping? The kryptonite. Actually that's probably not a great metaphor, but we've got a ways to go and this is going to get mucho boring if I don't throw some chuckles out there. Ready for fix three? Giddy up!
    - Turn off cross-fade? It's never been on. I never really got the appeal of that, and also I think it resulted in some minor skipping back in the d. I also attempted similar fixes like turning off the equalizer, messing with the volume, closing last.fm, REMOVING an old album art retrieval program from back before iTunes got its **** together with album art, ANYTHING that might interfere with playback was turned off, removed, b-slapped, and sent crying home to its moms. Nada.
    - Recreating my library. This was the fix I offered someone else, because it actually did the trick for a few days. After an entire night spent reimporting 73 gigs worth of music, it played fine, but I did lose a ton of album art, playcounts, etc, so you can imagine how ****** I was when this wound up not being a permanent fix. I was beyond ******. I was livid. But I was taught in the dojos of my youth to channel my anger into productivity, and instead of sculpting a lovely bonsai tree, I set out to fix this pup once and for all.
    - That darn anti-virus! This was the final fix I tried, even though I wasn't using any of the culprit programs listed in the forums as causes of the skipping, and even those offering this as a solution confessed it was pretty hit or miss. But having tried everything else, having resorted to playing my music on MediaMonkey of all things, I figured I'd give it a shot. I used (reason for the past-tense forthcoming) AVG Anti-Virus, Lavasoft AdAware and something called Spyware Doctor that I think just came bundled with XP. I removed all of them. I had just done a virus scan recently to see if that's what was causing this, so I figured I'd be okay until I could redownload them after this fix wound up not working. And it didn't work, so there's that.
    There may be a couple of fixes I've tried that I'm forgetting now, since I'm delirious after spending practically every night for the past week trying to fix this problem, while my girlf, Heather, sits and laughs at me while watching Clark and Michael on her MacBook. In fact, she's laughing at the $100 offer as I type this, but I assure you, if you offer a solution that works, the money is as good as yours. If you come up with a workable solution, I'll have to test and make sure it isn't temporary like the recreating my library thing, but I won't leave you hanging once I'm satisfied that it's fixed for good. I know it's unorthodox, perhaps illegal in some states, but I'm desperate here, peeps. The ball is in your court, and I beg you not to give up the rock.

    I think the problem lays with Last.fm. I had the same exact problem as you. In your processes screen, end the task "lastfmhelper.exe" Last.fm still scrobbles. The tracks don't skip, although I notice there is still a bit of a lag in the first part of the song - but if you can deal with that, no skipping. I think you will have to end that task everytime you boot up your computer, or uninstall last.fm completely until they fix it; it is a bug in their software, as opposed to iTunes.

  • [SOLVED] Xorg and keyboard not working after upgrade.

    Hi guys,
    after a `# pacman -Syyu` I got Xorg not starting and keyboard not working: I am unable to do anything.
    I'm posting here pacman's log that I got by booting an Ubuntu Live CD: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/7517806
    Any hint?
    How do you recover a system once it's gone like this? Many thanks in advance.

    You're right, problem wasn't actually solved. In fact, yesterday I upgraded the whole system again and the same problem showed up, but I got it fixed.
    Same scenario: after a boot (shorter than usual), what I had was a tty, but I noticed something that I hadn't noticed the last time: the prompt said "Arch Linux 3.11.[?]".
    The kernel version was supposed to be 3.12.[?] so I started investigating and after several attempts, this is how I got the system working again:
    1. Chrooted into the system
    2. Wiped /boot
    3. Re-installed grub
    4. Re-installed linux kernel
    5. Re-created grub.cfg
    6. ???
    7. Profit
    I'm pretty sure that what originated the problem wasn't a "kernel issue" as I pointed out in my previous post, but it was an incorrect installation of grub: in fact, the grub prompt never showed up before yesterday, the system used to boot straight, ignoring the 5 seconds timeout.

  • [solved] Xorg update makes screen become black for short time now a...

    Hello,
    when using the new xorg-server package, my screen becomes black for an instant every once in a while, needing some time to switch back on (perhaps a backlight problem?). This appears to be partially induced by fast mousewheel movements, but is not dependent on. The worst situations seem to be a XFCE-terminal producing lots of output or scrolling in Opera. Then the interrupts become inacceptable (about 1:1 on:off-ratio). The problem occured for the first time some weeks ago (when the xorg-server update was moved to current). In the meantime I have downgraded back to the previous versions of xorg-server and xf86-drivers, the problems have gone.
    I use xf86-video-radeon open-source driver with an Radeon 9200, AIGLX, nothing like beryl or compiz but the default XFCE desktop without compositing. Removing the xorg.conf or using the vga or vesa drivers doesn't solve the problem. My system has the most current packages installed (nothing from testing). Frequencies and resolution should be all right (the xorg.conf worked with the old packages).
    Another question: Where can I see which xorg-version is distributed in the repo? It should be something like 7.4 but the only package I have installed is xorg-server with version 1.2.0-5.
    If you need more information, please ask me! Thank you for your answers.

    EDIT: Now I have the xorg-server from testing installed. As I deactivated the hSync-settings in xorg.conf I now have much less trouble. Scrolling and quick movements of windows etc. now don't cause problems. Yet the screen has just become black again, without any apparent reason.
    Last edited by fi-dschi (2008-01-19 12:47:14)

    I have good news: The problem now does hardly ever reappear. I have installed the xorg-server from testing and now my screen becomes black about once a day what is perfectly acceptable. As I don't know whether tis is healthful for my screen I am still interested in a clean solution. So please post your ideas if you know what the reason could be.
    The german forums have given me some replies which, as yet, don't include an explanation for my monitors' interruptions. The thread can be found here:

  • [Solved] Xorg 1.8 / Trackpoint configuration issues.

    After upgrading to X.Org X Server 1.8.1.902 (1.8.2 RC 2) on a T400, I've been having a strange issue with scrolling and middle-mouse-button pasting and the new configuration system.
    After the initial upgrade, I had no keyboard or trackpoint whatsoever (though the touchpad has always mysteriously worked perfectly) -- after some configuration work, mostly from these forums -- I got most things working:
    The problem I still have, though, is that EmulateWheelTimeout seems to have no effect (I think). It's loaded (by default, I believe) -- but all the same, the mouse moves when I scroll, and more annoyingly, on middle-mouse click, everything is pasted twice.
    Edit: I though I'd add another piece of oddness that would help people figure out what is going on. When I restart X, I get no keyboard whatsoever, until I send the first mouse click. Then everything works as described.
    Edit 2: Setting Option "EmulateWheelTimeout" "1" took care of the double-pasting issue, though the behavior is strange (mouse still moves while scrolling, though less...). I'd be curious what happens with other small values (5, 10, etc.). Anyhow, I'm going to mark this as solved, though I wouldn't say it is.
    I've tried a number of different permutations of the configs below, and what's there works well except for this issue:
    Here is my xorg.conf.d/20-trackpoint.conf
    Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Trackpoint Wheel Emulation"
    MatchProduct "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint"
    MatchIsPointer "on"
    Driver "evdev"
    Option "Device" "/dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-2-event-mouse"http://www.google.com/firefox
    Option "GrabDevice" "False"
    Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
    Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
    #Option "EmulateWheelTimeout" "200"
    Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
    Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
    Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
    EndSection
    Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "disabling synaptic second trackpoint found"
    MatchProduct "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/mouse1"
    Option "Ignore" "on"
    EndSection

    Nothing ?
    Switchng off hal deamon and cleaning ~/.kde* has no effect...
    So, after searching on google again an again, still nothing found.... even among the Ubuntu specific issue where post are terminated
    with "wait next version of the package", the windows-style answer.
    I will continue my attempts to fix this... but my conclusion about this is that hal was more precise in his behavior than udev...

  • [solved]xorg configuration issues, either no mouse or flickering

    Hey all, ok well a little while ago I was having trouble with hda-intel and trying to get a decent frame rate on my card, it was never solved, now after an upgrade the problem seems to have solved itself, that is except now it flickers when playing a game.
    So I backup up my /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then deleted it, and with startx x works fine and the game doesnt flicker, although without an xorg.conf (I beleive it uses hal?) my netbook's mouse doesn't work.
    Placing the backed up xorg.conf back into /etc/X11/ reverses the problem, I have a mouse, but games = flickering.
    I am FINALLY getting 55fps on super mario chronicles (my test game).
    Here is the relevant lspci output:
    00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
    00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
    Here is my xorg.conf that allows my mouse to work but gives me flickering, I have tried fiddling around by commenting out various lines and even whole sections but nothing has changed so I reverted the changes:
    http://pastebin.org/85669
    I also noted that if I moved /etc/X11/xorg.conf to the current directory and tried to run it, it wouldn't work, this same behavior occured with trying as root, and trying with the conf file generated from X -config although if I then moved the X -config file to /etc/X11 and used startx it would exhibit the same behavior as having no xorg.conf file in /etc/X11
    Thanks again,
    ~Ducky

    Thank for that Zack89, problem solved, for those interested I installed the xf86-input-synaptics package and removed my xorg.conf, if you do this make sure you have hal and dbus installed.
    To get my touchpad to be 'more' equal in both direction I followed the instruction in man synaptics and at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Synaptics.
    After doing cp /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/11-x11-synaptics.fdi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ I then added the following two lines in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi
    <merge key="input.x11_options.VertResolution" type="string">57</merge>
    <merge key="input.x11_options.HorizResolution" type="string">57</merge>
    The two values are meant to be height and width so that synaptics can scale its calculations accordingly, instead I supplied both values with the width so that I would have even mouse movement.
    Thanks again all,
    ~Chris

    I've managed to solve this, I believe. Don't experience any crashes and X startes in tty7, as it should.
    I've moved this line to the end of my inittab instead of the beginning.
    x:5:once:/bin/su shahin -l -c "/bin/bash --login -c /usr/bin/startx >/dev/null 2>&1"
    So my inittab looks like this now.
    # /etc/inittab
    # Runlevels:
    # 0 Halt
    # 1(S) Single-user
    # 2 Not used
    # 3 Multi-user

    # 6 Reboot

  • [SOLVED] Xorg not starting on non-root user [My First Linux]

    Hello, I recently turned back to linux after digging up my old ASUS EEE 900a, which I messed up with partitioning fun after trying to cram Windows XP on it and etc. Anyways, I managed to fix it, and after Ubuntu being too big, I was turned on to Arch as a good distro, and I've been having a very good time setting everything up so far.
    Anyways: My issue arises after needing to use a different user in order to use Chrome. I created a new account and tried to run startx like I usually do. It spat out the usual few lines, but failed and gave me this log:

    I've tried looking for this problem elsewhere as it feels like such a newbie problem to have, but I have had difficulty. There are two errors in this log, I think, but they didn't mean much to me... Any help for a linux newbie? Thanks!
    EDIT: Solved; as pointed out below, I needed a window manager for a non-root user to use.

    Well, soon you'll have to try out one of the more minimal options, in which you don't use any desktop environment but instead you install your own window manager (openbox, dwm, i3, etc) and use small, dedicated programs.  Given your extreme space restrictions, I recommend going that route! But, take your time because that requires a bit of learning: you need to figure out which parts of a desktop environment you really need, then you need to learn the proper names for them so that you can search for information, then you need to start fiddling with configurations, etc.  Better first to make sure your first Arch Linux installation is up and running properly and to learn a bit about the system before entering that downward spiral.
