another Xorg problem: VESA(0): Cannot read int vect
« on: February 18, 2015, 11:29:29 AM »
made the mistake upgrading from 5.4 prior to testing first
(always forget tiny doesn't have rollback)

Xorg now fails in and around here :

Any idea?
Else is there a simple way to revert Xorg from the command line?

If you mean back to Xvesa, then:
Code: [Select]
cp /etc/skel/.xsession /home/tc
startx

You upgraded to Core 6.  Now you need to update all your extensions and modules.

tce-audit builddb
tce-audit updatedeps
tce-audit fetchmissing
tce-update

sudo reboot

Hi, did all this... (well, except the first step, the second seemed to pick it up)..
any other ideas?

Well, notwithstanding, the good news is I seem to be able to get Xvesa going...
after setting /etc/sysconfig/Xserver to 'Xvesa' and manually editing .xsession.

Unfortunately this still sucks as we needed Xorg in the first place for our "fr" keyboards.
Anyway to test elsewhere and revert this toxic change (for a Vortex86mx RDC vga).

Prior I tried to force going back to 5.x, but only Xorg 7.7 seems to be in the repository,
so Xorg is busted there now too. Saloperie!

I don't have the hardware to test, but if you want to apply the patch, recompile xorg-server and test, the extension can be updated if things work.

..and if reverting that change fixes it, you should report a bug upstream so it can be fixed there.

The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Use a bigger machine, or a VM on a bigger machine?

The patch hasn't even been applied upstream yet. It would help if you reply to that thread saying it broke vesa for you, showing them there's need.

Xorg is an extension, it can update independently from ISO releases. Also, only xorg-server needs to be updated, as that patch is for it only.
