Yeah

Confusing.

The "what do you mean" bit is exactly as i stated Juanto. That is what it means. It Can't be
anymore semantic than it describes.  Read it again.  I will repeat it below.
******On a raw boot of TCL 4.3.1 CD disc with no drives involved just ram.....Xvesa is
never listed in Onboot. Xvesa only shows as "installed" via system stats "installed"
button from control panel.******

I appreciate that running Xorg would over-ride Xvesa....so your instructions are kind
of in conflict........... but parallel.

The instructions about a text boot........... don't make sense to me. The LOG file does
not seem to stick around.  I only do the backup offered at the TCL exit prompt.....The instructions are missing something?

Several hours on this and boots etc. No progress.

ps

in essence forget about everything above.

1) assume a raw boot of TCL 4.3.1 and an empty TCE directory on thumb ready to recieve and virgin.
2) We are talking about 3 things here.  Xorg 7.6, the radeon FW and the ATI driver.
3) How difficult is it to explain HOW to install these 3 things and get a graphics driver
running and check it's running on subsequent booting of the machine?.....the end objective.

This thread advice has not yet worked properly....is there something missing?

you could model this RAW approach and surely it would just then be a list of DO's....in a proper
order. Assume i know nothing.

thanks for trying.

Juanito:
Ah - you're using tc-4.x and Xorg-7.6...

Assuming you can boot tc-4.x with an empty /tce folder and with an internet connection:
--- Code: ---$ tce-load -w Xorg-7.6 xf86-video-all firmware-radeon
$ tce-load -i Xorg-7.6 xf86-video-all firmware-radeon
$ startx
--- End code ---

Once the gui starts, you can use the apps browser to install a text editor like beaver to look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log

cast-fish:
Hello,

uh is it a can of worms coming?


what am i suppossed to use with TCL 4.3.1,,,,    Xorg 7.4,....... 5, 6..... ?  (3D or not?)

i will try what your last post stated.


thanks

Juanito:
I chose Xorg-7.6 because it was the most recent extension for tc-4.x...

cast-fish:
ok
i followed your instructions by booting a virgin TCL into the text prompt......... and then following your
code lines........the xorg log file is attached here....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

is it right?

i notice that the machine also has Xvesa installed.

If this data above proves that indeed the ati drivers and radeon drv are working right ........then how can i lower the
screen rez of Xorg to 800 600....?

thx

V

thanks
