Let X11 figure this out for itself. Run the "system-config-display" tool and click on the HARDWARE tab. Select your video card and monitor types; if there is not an exact match to your hardware then select the generic drivers from the list. Go back to the SETTINGS tab and choose another resolution.

  • [SOLVED]XFCE requires xorg.conf

    Hi all,
    I was using Zenwalk Linux since 4 years, and made my mind to install Arch Linux. I installed it using the help of Installation Guide. Thanks to the Arch Linux team for providing such a nice descriptive and useful forum through which any newbie can migrate to Arch Linux easily.
    I thought of installing XFCE as my Desktop environment as I was using the same previously. I installed LXDM login manager, and the X session I edited to start up with XFCE.
    With the login to init 5, I got the error as "Frequency Out of Range" and the screen went blank. Then somehow, I had the xorg.conf and xorg.conf-vesa file of my older Zenwalk System. I copied it to /etc/X11 directory and rebooted to solve the problem.
    I dont know whether xorg.conf is needed or not. 'lspci' noted my video driver as
    01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. VT8375 [ProSavage8 KM266/KL266]
    I have installed savage-dri and xf86-video-savage from Arch Repo.
    I thought of sharing the same so that it might be helpful to someone (or else, if someone can give a better solution, it will be helpful for me too).
    Thanks in advance.
    With regards,

    I'm not surprised that an old card would require an xorg.conf file to work correctly. Do you mean that another desktop environment from the Arch repos can work on your system without an xorg.conf? And only XFCE results in an error? Then that would be weird.

  • Xorg.conf somethings I don't understand yet

    Background:
    I'm pretty much a total noob when it comes to linux. I've been a dos/windows user/tech for more then 15 years and I've finally decided I wanted to learn linux.
    So I setup a teamspeak server(Linux Talk) on my windows machine and have been using a kvm to learn linux on another. Pudge has been a great help  coming on the teamspeak server and chatting with me and others.
    Today:
    So today I decided to try reinstalling Arch without any help. And So far I've done fairly well I managed to get it updated and get into gnome. However I've run into some things in the xorg.conf that while I was able to get around, i really didn't understand them. I tried search the forum and wiki, but it didn't help.
    What I did:
    I used xorg -configure and it generated the xorg.conf.new file and properly detected my monitor, I copied and renamed it as it should be, but it didn't work. I would recieve out of range. So I commented out the refresh lines (like it said to do) so that it would use ddc, that didn't work either agian I recieved the out of range message on my monitor again. So I put in manual refresh rates that I knew would work and they did.
    The part where I got confused:
    What I don't understand is when it properly detected and identified the monitor, how come that didn't work ? And how come using the ddc method didn't work.
    I know i'm not filling in all the blanks with specific numbers and hardware details, I'm not looking for a how to for my specific setup, just trying to understand the basic process and why it didn't work even though it detected everything properly.

    Anymore you might be able to get away with not specifying sync ranges for your monitor... it seems I broke my site, so I will post a link to my xorg.conf url soon.

  • Xorg.conf.d not loading when thinkpad docked

    When installing arch on my workstation, a lenovo thinkpad t530, it all worked basically fine, just some issues with setting boot partitions and such. The problem I have that I haven't been able to solve is that if I start X while the laptop is docked, to a series 3 dock with an extra monitor and some peripherals connected, none of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d files seems to be loaded. This mostly shows by both the screens showing a cloned desktop with 1024x768 (or similar low resolution) and my keyboard configuration isn't loaded. All this works perfectly fine when starting X when the laptop isn't docked and I can't find anything strange about it in the log.
    I currently, partly, solve this by calling xrandr and setxkbmap with the correct arguments in ~/.xinit but I really don't like that solution.
    So my question is: Is there any known issues that could cause this or where should I start looking for the cause?
    I'm not using any desktop environment, display manager or similar, just starting dwm from ~/.xinit when running xinit
    For stackexchange reputation it's possible to answer the question at unix.stackexchange too:

    jbritton wrote:Ok, so I reinstalled everything, and followed the new instruction in the Beginners Guide to install # pacman -S xorg-twm xorg-xclock xterm
    Did you start at that part of the guide, or all the way back to the part that says:
    Wiki wrote:
    Install the base packages:
    # pacman -S xorg-server xorg-xinit xorg-utils xorg-server-utils
    The instructions for xorg-twm xorg-xclock and xterm were to give a really basic gui for testing X, but wouldn't pull in xorg-server which is what should give you xorg.conf.d and also pulls in the evdev driver as a dependency.
    I noticed that hal was installed as apart of this. Anyone have another suggestion?  I checked in /etc/X11 and the xorg.conf.d folder is still missing.
    That part seems odd, could you be using an out of date mirror? The current version of the xorg-server package is 1.9.4.901-1

  • [solved] aticonfig fails to create a working xorg.conf file (fglrx)

    I have problems setting up fglrx for my ATI Mobility 200:
    01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 (PCIE)
    I followed the instructions in the Wiki but when I run
    aticonfig --initial
    and restart X gives me a "no screens" error and drops back to command line. I should mention that I have X running without problems with the vesa driver.
    I have tried to change my driver manually in xorg.conf to fgrlx and have loaded the module in rc.conf according to other forum posts.

  • Xf86-video-intel 2.10 may required xorg.conf changes?

    Upon upgrading to xf86-video-intel 2.10.0-1, my dual monitor xorg.conf setup was no longer working (both monitors displayed the same low-resolution content).  The fix involved the following search/replace operations in xorg.conf:
    - replace "monitor-LVDS" with "monitor-LVDS1"
    - replace "monitor-TMDS-1" with "monitor-DVI1"
    - replace "monitor-VGA" with "monitor-VGA1"
    A couple of questions:
    - Was the xf-video-intel upgrade responsible for the problem I encountered?
    - If so, is this documented anywhere?  (It doesn't seem to be in the 2.10.0 release notes).

    no, you were using UMS, which defined display ports that way.
    the KMS method in use now names your ports LVDS1, DVI1 and VGA1. the reason this happened with the 2.10 drivers is that they now require KMS to work, you were forced to switch.

  • 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.)

    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 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

  • 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

  • [Solvedish] Can color depth be changed in X with no xorg.conf file?

    I have a laptop that's working perfectly with no xorg.conf file except for the color depth is at 16 and I want it at 24. Can color depth be changed in X with no xorg.conf file? (I already tried the amazing three line xorg.conf file to no avail.)

    Won't work on a running X session, and has the same effect as the aforementioned xorg.conf file if run before starting X.
    I may just have to make a new xorg.conf file. The last one decided it hated some upgrade I made and started wreaking havoc all over my system. Crashes and lockups and flickers galore!
    --EDIT--
    It turns out that the xf86-video-intel driver was my problem all along. I reverted to the i810 driver and my xorg file works again (it has more than three lines).

  • Easy Switch between xorg.conf files enable disable tvout

    Hello,
    This is my first post on this forum, so i'am not sure were to put my post, but i think here is the best place
    summary:
    Easy Switch between xorg.conf files, and enable/disable startup applications. Script does this:
    detect which xorg.conf file is used and then depending on which one is used do 1 or 2:
    1. copy tvout.conf to xorg.conf and disable all startup applications + enable one or more startup application(s) defined in the script startupappsoff
    2. copy xorg.conf.backup to xorg.conf and enable all startup applications + disable one or more startup application(s) defined in the script startupappson
    I thought it would be nice to share the script i created for an easy switch between two xorg.conf files. Myself preferred to switch between two xorg files for personal need.
    Beside only switching between two xorg.conf files i would like to enable/disable some startup apps, therefor i created the scripts startupappsoff and startupappson.
    If you want to use these scripts, look in this code for comments, and custimize at the points A. to I. Further read the comments on top of each script.
    If something is not clear or is not correct, your free to ask!
    have fun!
    The script to be run to switch:
    tvout
    #!/bin/sh
    #summary: This programm switches xorg.conf file with an other and back. Also it calls the programms startupappsoff and startupappson.
    #in order to get this as a command, copy this program to: /usr/bin/
    #to execute without password, add: <username> ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/tvout (replace <username> with your own)
    #A. this script needs to recorgnize the different xorg.conf files you want to use. So put on top of your xorg.conf files in the first line: #tvout or #original
    var1=$(head -1 /etc/X11/xorg.conf)
    if [ $var1 == "#original" ]
    then
    #B. put here the path to your own custimized xorg.conf
    sudo cp /mnt/data1/Arch\ Files/xorg.conf.tvout /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    zenity --info --text 'tv-out enabled, to switch press CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE'
    #C. put here the path to startupappsoff and change username
    su rob /mnt/data1/Arch\ Files/startupappsoff
    fi
    if [ $var1 == "#tvout" ]
    then

    Many thanks, I am actually using your script minus the app changing script - to change my xorg from my dual screen display to a single screen display and my s-video tvout.
    Now I need to tune my xorg to work, but I am trying to add the <username> ALL=NOPASSWD for the script to work without password but I do not know where to add the line and the format of the line?
    Again many thanks for your script,
    looking forward for your reply,

  • Autogen'ning an xorg.conf file?

    If you start X without a config, it configures itself automatically.  Is there a way I can snag the settings it decided to use and make a config (that I can tweak a bit?)

    The two have to be the same: can you paste the relevant sections of the generated xorg.conf (Section "Device" and Section "Screen")
    All you really need as far as device goes is:
    Identifier "Name"
    Driver "nv"
    BusID "PCI:1:0:0" # most likely, but who knows
    Also you might want to check in some logs /var/log/X.0.log or similar to see which drivers are being loaded in the noconfig state (then specify that driver).
    And lastly, you gotta be sure that you are actually running with those respective xorg.confs.
    Or, you could just change the wrong stuff wrongly detected without an /etc/X11/xorg.conf at runtime via xrandr, xset, or xsetkbmap (or as an argument to xinit or startx (check some manpages for that)

  • Sample xorg.conf files not found

    Hi, everyone
    I'm installing xorg, and need to refer some sample xorg.conf, but some of the links on the xorg wiki are not found. I think they should be updated.

    Thank you for reply!
    I have set up gnome, but using open source driver (vesa) for my  graphic card (VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M22 [Mobility Radeon X300])

  • Xorg.conf question

    I am kind of embarassed to ask this question, but I have to. Where do I find xorg.conf? Do I even have such a file? It is not in /etc/X11.
    When I installed Xorg, I also installed hal and then added it to module list in rc.conf. Does hal just detect my xorg settings everytime I run X, thus eliminating the need for xorg.conf?

    The only solution was to boot from a live distro and edit the xorg.conf from there. I think the problem was the missing hal daemon - im not sure.
    There's a much easier way - boot into single user mode (either add "single" or "init=3" to the kernel line in grub) and edit your xorg.conf using nano or any other text editor.
    Now, hal is *required*  as long as you don't have Option "AutoAddDevices" "False" in your xorg.conf. If you try to start X without having hal running, you will not be able to use your mouse/keyboard (again, if this happens, boot into single user mode and edit your xorg.conf). If you disable hotplugging (AutoAddDevices false), hal is optional (correct me if i'm wrong), but many features of KDE/Gnome depend on hal and won't work without it.
    Personally, I'd recommend going with hotplugging and hal. First, try starting X without an xorg.conf. If everything looks good, you're done (on my notebooks I don't have xorg.conf). You might need xorg.conf to set stuff like your screen resolution - generate it (if you have an nvidia gfx card, use nvidia-xconfig), but make sure there are no lines concerning your mouse/keyboard in xorg.conf.
    And, like paulez posted, you will need xf86-input-evdev.
