Xorg 7.0 - works

Hi!
Yesterday evening I installed Xorg 7.0 and:
two programs for genetics which I built by myself works
video works
sound works
I didn't try a lot because my wife said ''Enough'' ). I saw that I have problem with virtual console -ctrl-alt-FX - doesn't work yet...
..and one question:
Did anyone tried to run ati installer? And if answer is Yes, does it works?
Thanks a lot,
Mitja
BTW: I have Arch on my box (just Arch) almost one month and I like it more and more

Yes, X.org 7.0 works very well, and I don't have any plans to switch back to old old old x.org 6.8.2.
BTW I don't think that ATI works with X.org 7.0 yet.

[SOLVED]Xorg won't work for my non root user

I installed Arch Linux 2009.08 x86_64 Core inside Sun VirtualBox 3.0.8 and got up to the part of the Beginners' Guide that tells me to test X and it can never work for my non root user. Funny thing is, I tried running it as root and it worked even though my root user has no ~/.xinitrc file. Running startx or xinitrc as my non root user I get a small (maybe 400x600) white terminal but can't use my mouse or keyboard.
After looking over the guide and doing a step I forgot and adding in all of the extra stuff the guide says might help I can use my mouse and keyboard in my non root users' small white terminal but X still won't start properly with xterm even though I put 'exec exterm' in my non root users' ~/.xinitrc file. Please help. Thanks for any help guys.

I don't get it .. this sounds like xterm is starting up successfully (xterm is a small white terminal). Easiest way to get X up and running (imo) is
sudo pacman -S gnome gdm xorg xf86-input-evdev
sudo /etc/rc.d/hal start
sudo /etc/rc.d/gdm start
I didn't know that's what xterm was, thanks for telling me. Noob mistake.

Xorg - Synaptics not working on fresh install.

Ok... This one has me scratching my head major.
After a certain snafu with e4rat I was forced to reinstall my system which I took the chance to do some redesign on the laptop system layout.
Decided to go with a lightweight DE and the whole gammut.
I get lxde installed, 'startx' Everything is hunky dorey, and I mean everything. using the default synaptics conf that comes with xf86-input-synaptics. I get a whole bunch more software installed and reboot to try out the whol SLiM DM (which didn't work btw)
So SLiM descides it's not going to load up lxde for me. type in username, password, hit enter and the screen flashes and comes back to SLiM... kill SLiM and startx... pointer doesn't work. reboot, startx...pointer doesn't work.

Why is it ??associating?? my headphone jack with the synaptics?
Thinking I royally screwed something up and just for fun I sh*t-can the system and reinstall. The effects are reproduceable. 'startx' on a fresh install the synaptics pad works just fine, loads the synaptics driver against the synaptics device. But once I reboot...

I have the config files that came down with the packages.

I load the radeon module early from mkinitcpio.conf.
Whats going on? Thanks

Could the module have crashed for some reason? Check "lsmod" before starting X. If "radeon" is in there and X subsequently fails the way you described, that would stump me. If "radeon" is missing then maybe reading the "dmesg" output would help.

Xorg 1.8 : Does it work with Xorg -configure?

Hey everyone
Does Xorg 1.8 work with Xorg --configure or would one have to manually set the configuration files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/? Also another question, if I am using xorg 1.8. do I still have to add HAL to the list of DAEMONS in /etc/rc.conf or would listeing DBUS only be sufficient to get a working X configuration?

Yes, `Xorg -configure` still works, and no, Xorg does not need HAL anymore.
D-Bus is only needed if you have applications that use it (e.g., desktop environment programs).

[solved] xorg 1.6 - dual-monitor not working any more

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

I use "xrandr --output VGA --mode 1280x1024 --left-of LVDS" in .xinitrc to arange the displays.
So anyone any idea why it won't work?
Btw: I tried x86-video-intel-legacy. But then X didn't even start

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...

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.

Direct rendering not working after upgrade to Xorg 7.0

I have aATI radeon 9200 card and although its supposed to be supported in the new xorg, direct rendering doesnt work. I have made the neccesary changes in xorg.conf. I deleted the ati drivers load "dri" and "glx" installed all the needed modules.
Does xorg 7.0 work with the propritery ATI drivers? My system is generally slow too and not as responsive as before.
Can some one with a working DRI post their xorg.conf. My PC is a compaq presario.
thnx

Did you remove the ATI drivers and install libgl-dri? Without libgl-dri, either you have software GL with libgl-mesa, or some ATI OpenGL lib that runs in fallback mode.

Xorg -configure don't work with PB DotM

hello folks
i got a brand new packardbell dotM netbook , how i use arch in my worksation i decided to install arch in the netbook
every goes fine exept when i want to configure Xorg.
i installed the xf86-video-intell package, and tryed to make a "Xorg -configure" that work with the screen ( by the way the screen is very special http://www.tecnologiait.com.ar/?p=7315 the standart resolution is 1204x600 !!
what recommend me do to guys?, use Xorg -configure don't work ( even show tvm) , and intel doesn't provide a tool like the nvidia-xconfig,
or should i write my own xorg.conf file?
ohh yes and could you make me a suggestion for a DE, i tried kdemod in the netbook ( i am kde-lover) but without a big Gpu kdemod goes slow, which DE to do recommend for a netbook, i am between E17 and LXDE
thanks in advance

Hello Slacknatcher!
You can port a working configuration file, from another working distribution, or from livecd like Chakra, Ubuntu, Sushe.
Can it work if you try without any xorg.conf file? Can you try out another drivers, like binary nvidia from nvidia, or opensource nv? And in the last case vesa?

Scrolling stopped working after Xorg update, already disabled hotplug

Heres my xorg file, everything works except for twofinger scrolling, circular scrolling, and regular scrolling. All three worked before the update. Also, gsynaptic will not open. It gives me the following error:
GSynaptics couldn't initialize.
You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics
But as you can see, I already have SHMConfig set to true. Help

I read the wiki numerous times, but its still not working for me. For scrolling, I added
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "true" #vertical scrolling when dragging along the right edge.
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "true" #horizontal scrolling when dragging along the bottom edge.
like is said but its still not working. And I thought that whole .fdi thing was only used if you have hotplugging enabled?

SOLVED - Has anyone had any problems with xorg 1.11.14-1?

Last night I had a double catastrophe. The first was nothing to do with Linux, but was the result of a rogue drive trashing my sata ports and killing both Arch and Windows. I managed to rescue Windows, but since Arch was running at the time (and updating) nothing I tried could bring it back. After restoring from a backup (10 days old) I started the updates again (a gargantuan 415Mb) which completed, though after a reboot X failed to start. Nothing in the logs, and no activity at all. My usual fix is to remove xorg.conf and reboot, which will generally get me to the desktop to troubleshooting stage using vesa drivers instead of catalyst, but even this couldn't get me to a desktop. I tried removing catalyst altogether from single user mode, but nothing would fix.
I restored the backup again, and did all updates except kernel, catalyst, and xorg. Everything worked fine, so next I updated catalyst - still working. A fresh backup and I updated the kernel. Still working, which means the only thing not updated at this point (and in my mind the most likely culprit for the failures) is xorg.
Now I'm not daft enough to try updating before I make a fresh backup (I've remade several tweaks to my system that got lost after the original crash), but before I go to the trouble, I wondered has anyone else had any problems with the updated xorg?
For info, I'm running on a Phenom X4 965BE, AMD 4670HD with catalyst 12.1, kernel 3.2.2-1.
TIA

Any idea where the problem was?
X also fails to start for me now, when the catalyst driver is loaded. It used to work before, but after recent upgrades and changes to the system it's somehow broken.
(Same catalyst and xorg versions as you mentioned, but with kernel 3.2.4-1)
Switching to the open-source radeon driver makes X start fine, switching back to catalyst breaks it again.

Ati 4890 - xorg 1.7.2 - catalyst?

well , hello everyone i had an idea and i want your opinion ,
i have ati 4890 graphics card and i wondered if i can install the catalyst drivers..(i know that arch dropped support since xorg 1.6) and i dont want to experiment with compiling kernels and downgrades (yet)
, so here is my idea , what about if i download the official ati drivers from amd's site and install them.. , it says that the support the current 1.7.2 xorg , will this work for me?
i'd love to hear your opinion:)
on the other way , am i going to be ok with radeon hd drivers?(if i don't make it with catalyst)
thanks for your time:)

The catalyst driver does not support xorg 1.7 yet, and probably won't for some time. (my bet is no support until the next ubuntu release, that's what happened the last two times )
You probably want to read trough and follow this thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57084
The free xf86-video-ati and -radeonhd drivers have partly support for the card. 2d should work, 3d will be limited.
Edit: Do _not_ download and build directly from amd.com. Always use makepkg/pacman or you will just end up in a world of pain.

[Solved] Firefox 7.0.1-1 crashing xorg 1.11.1-2

Hello,
Today I updated to the newest xorg package available in the pacman repos. Everything seems to be fine, I'm able to use intellij, and do most other things in gnome without problem. However, when I try to run firefox, X restarts and I'm left at my login screen.
whodevil>firefox
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".
XIO: fatal IO error 2 (No such file or directory) on X server ":0.0"
after 30 requests (30 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
firefox: Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :0.0.
When I look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log there doesn't appear to be anything suspicious other than each time xorg restarts it rolls the log. When I go into the Xorg.0.log.old, I don't see any messages related to xorg being shutdown.
However when I look in the kernel.log I see this:
Nov 7 13:59:42 localhost kernel: [ 165.690978] [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id
Nov 7 13:59:42 localhost kernel: [ 166.110186] [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id
Nov 7 14:01:21 localhost kernel: [ 265.047653] [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id
Nov 7 14:01:21 localhost kernel: [ 265.466850] [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id
Does anyone have any ideas? Is there other information I'm missign that would help me figure out the problem?
thanks,
whodevil

What I needed was to be running xrandr to do dual monitors with this command:

Here is what I have in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-radeon.conf. This xorg conf was working fine, and still for the most part does work fine. The only app I've found that does not work is firefox. I'm pretty stumped.

Not work 3 keyboard layouts

Then I use 2 languages, Option "XkbLayout" "us,lt" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, then work keyboard layout.
If I use 3 languages in XkbLayout, then not work layout.
There some part of /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,lt,ru"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
EndSection

You didn't tell what's your problem is though. I suppose you just cannot switch layouts with Alt-Shift, right?
Try if Shift-Alt (sic!) works for you. Also try grp:ctrl_shift_toggle (only RightCtrl-Right shift work, LeftCtrl-LeftShift switches to first layout instantly).
alikas wrote:So it is bug?
Yes. Both xkeyboard-config 0.6 and 0.9 are buggy, but bugs are triggered for specific keyboard layout combinations.
For example, I had bug with 0.6 with my xorg config, while many others don't.
0.9 fixed bug for me, but now other people have problems.
As you may see in that bug report the problem mostly depends on XkbLayout combination, though I thought it was due to grp:alt_shift_toggle first.

Xorg.conf file idea..

i had an idea: would it be possible to make a large database of xorg.conf files for certain laptops? i found a list of "howto linux" on different models of lappys...
for example, i have a sony vaio pcg-tr3a, and i'm struggling to get my xorg file to work right, so i would head on over to the data base and search for my computer model...
would this work?
sv

<soapbox>
ok. so i guess this idea would not work.. now i am seeing but how bout if laptop users just wrote a wiki entry for there laptop? like... hardware specific stuff...
for example: i figured out that i have an intel wireless card and i needed a closed source intel2200-fw or something to get it to work. i went to the wireless networking wiki, but how bout it if i could have found a wiki on my model lappy (fat chance maybe...?)
that said : "ok, for this lappy you need 915resolution hack, intel firmware driver for your wirless, and i810driver for your graphics, also you may want to add this to your xorg.conf to get trackpad scrolling to work" and then also "and btw, to get Fn keys working go here"
so it would be small tutorials helpful to few people with same laptops and it would be extremly confinient... and for someone just getting into linux... a quick guide to get everything set up right step by step would be helpful.. granted, arch does not hold your hand... and i think it shouild be that way... we learn a lot trying different things and reading wikis over and over again...
</soapbox>
ok, thats all

Xorg 7.0 - works
