(solved) Issues with a PC with NVDIA GForce FX5200 (NV34); which Xorg.conf ?

<< < (5/9) > >>

floppy:
Thanks all.
So, now the pc boots without error when no xorg.conf is created (the extension I made yesterday is so far ok; it has still to be fully tested with a running conf file; the scripts from rich are so far ok).
Im now facing a setup issue with my xorg.conf
The screen gets black or freeze as soon I start the pc with an xorg.conf file (conf file from rich or from the attachment) .. and cannot access any xorg.0.log file.
Im still searching the reason and a method how to debug the conf file.
Any comment  is welcome.

Rich:
Hi floppy
In the dep file I supplied, did you remember to replace the word KERNEL with the result of the command   uname -r
This is to insure that the correct  graphics-x.x.x-tinycore.tcz  gets loaded.
Notes:
1. From the black screen, see if  Ctrl-Alt-Backspace  kicks you back into the console.
2. I used Xorg7.5. Xorg7.6 would freeze up on me.
3. Creating xorg.conf with
      A. sudo Xorg -configure  or
      B. sudo Xorg -configure  followed by  sudo nvidia-xconfig
   both resulted in a black screen. I had to use  sudo nvidia-xconfig --virtual=1920x1080 --mode=1920x1080 --force-generate
   The  --force-generate  option makes it delete the existing  xorg.conf and create a new one.
   I needed the  --virtual  and  --mode  switches to get my screen sized correctly.

floppy:
progress made with the "rich" instructions.
xorg file and its log.
Im still searching the setup.
(screen is still hanging up)

floppy:
wrong log file in the previous post  because it was overwriten by a startx with a vesa conf file.
Correct one is here.

Rich:
Hi floppy
Try replacing the  Screen  section in your  xorg.conf  with:

--- Code: ---Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    SubSection     "Display"
        Virtual     1024 768
        Depth       24
        Modes      "1024x768" "800x600"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

--- End code ---
You can also try commenting out the  Modules  section in case one of the modules is causing a conflict.
