Xorg/xserver bug?

[thane]

After latest round of updates, was only able to boot to command prompt, with error message something like "failed in wait for x". Had been using Xorg-7.7 with xf86-video-nv.tcz to get correct resolution for my monitor, without problems.

After some fiddling, got a desktop after deleting xserver modules from tce/optional, but Xorg-7.7 doesn't work (of course), so using Xvesa although it doesn't have the best resolution.

Any help appreciated (including pointing out my dumb mistakes if any!). Thanks.

Please check /var/log/Xorg.0.log (it will only exist if Xorg tried to start of course).

xf-video-nv still needs to be updated

First, apologies for putting this in TCB Bugs. Of course it's extension related!

At the bottom of the Xorg.0.log file were messages "fatal server error: no screens found" and "server terminated with fatal error" which explains why deleting the xorg-xserver extension at least gets me a desktop.

Further up in the log were the messages [approximately] "loading nv", "module API version doesn't match server version", "unloading nv".

It looks like Xorg isn't finding whatever it needs to work with my monitor...

I'm also seeing issues getting xorg to run.  On my system, it doesn't seem to progress far enough to create the log.

I'm attempting to use xf86-video-intel.tcz

Could you double-check that you used the apps gui to add/update the extensions listed here:

...and rebooted

ah. the issue might be libevdev-1.3.2.  I was expecting that bmarkus' updated libevdev would get approved and posted, rather than depending on that 1-off version.  In all honesty, I didn't expect libevdev-1.3.2 to be approved and posted. I mistakenly included it when I submitted my evemu-tools.tcz for approval.

Turns out I was missing elfutils. Things seem to be working now

[curaga]

Does Xorg require elfutils, or?

[Juanito]

It's required to build, I didn't think it was a runtime dep...

Update to the xf86-video-nv extension resolved my Xorg issue.
