xorg / xvesa

[gerald_clark]

Try loading Xorg first, then Xvesa, then dwb.

[cast-fish]

will try that

[cast-fish]

ye

i actually have no idea how to do that. Gerald

The way  i have TCL here.......i always BASE boot from a CD of tcl.

Ofcourse the base boot of tcl is always Xvesa

Then i load up my sound......the browser and flash...... from my pesistent store.
That is when Xorg is dragged in. If i ever restart the Xserver......sadly it then loads Xorg up permanently.....

Your saying i should make my first boot an "Xorg" boot.

but then i don't know how to load Xvesa while in Xorg.



i am looking for a more silver bullet solution to the whole issue....like unloadind a module or something

if anybody knows.

Install it onto a hard/flash drive instead of booting off CD all the time.
Then you can customize your onboot.lst.

Hi cast-fish

Then i load up my sound......the browser and flash...... from my pesistent store.
That is when Xorg is dragged in. If i ever restart the Xserver......sadly it then loads Xorg up permanently.....

After you load the browser, try:

Code: [Select]

sudo echo "Xvesa" > /etc/sysconfig/Xserver

[Misalf]

Maybe something like this (untested):

Code: [Select]

echo "Xvesa" | sudo tee /etc/sysconfig/Xserver
xsetup.sh

Hello

misalf and Rich


i was going along those lines already.......yes....


thinking it MAY work..............


i will try what you say.

The bottom line is this ---restarting Xserver drags XOrg into operation....and i don't want it to..

At the first PASS of loading "dwb", on an xvesa platform, Xorg is not executed and the browser still runs fine in xvesa. Upon any "xserver" restart, Xorg gets executed.....and i didnt want Xorg because its a little too slow indeed on 256 ram......

i just wanted  Xvesa with dwb (since it works fine)....

no

for rich's idea it gives an error

can't creat "etc/sysconfig/xserver  permission denied


for Milsafs idea......well the file contents in question ARE changed to "xvesa" but this has no baring
on  a restart of xserver ........which merrily goes along and loads Xorg again......... and executes Xorg

Check you .xsession.
If it does not start with "Xvesa", you need to make a backup copy of a working Xvesa .xsession, and copy it back after creating the
/etc/sysconfig./xserver file.

Hi cast-fish
Sounds like your best bet might be to grab the  libGL.so  files out of Xorg and package them into there own extension.

[cast-fish]

gerald_clark,

your idea has worked correctly.

having followed the instructions from Milsaf and then Gerald  (look at your xsession)
the computer is now able to re-start the "xserver" back into Xvesa without forcing
it into Xorg.

this is pretty simple to do also.

The reasoning behind my whole rant is that "dwb" appears to be a very very stable web browser
for doing involved things like flash and sending web cam video and so forth.

Other browsers on TCL, while being nice, often have stability issues. "Surf" "QtWeb" "Xxxterm"
are lovely fast browsers indeed on 256 ram but they all suffer some sort of stability issues
ranging from occassional crashes to seg faulting galore. I presume that these browsers are never
properly tested upon compiling for TCL.
"Dwb" does not seem to suffer stability issues and is also fast on xvesa. There is a tiny gripe with
a black blotch on some menus in Xvesa Dwb...........but it is nothing much at all

many thanks indeed.
