Trouble with xorg-server on MicroCore 10
« on: June 27, 2019, 02:39:11 PM »
Hi. I am trying to set up Xorg for MicroCore, but Xorg 7.7 from repository doesnt work, so i decided to start with small - start xorg-server (black screen and cursor).

After some forums and sites serfing i installed drivers for my video, but when i try to type "Xorg" in console, i have this:
"xkbcomp:not found
 Keyboard initialization failed
 Failed to activate virtual core keyboard: 2(EE)".
I already downloaded xkeyboard-config from repository, so now i need a xkbcomp. I donwloaded it and now have a binary. How i can install it?

Did you use the apps gui or "tce-load -wil" to ensure that you downloaded Xorg-7.7 and all of its recursive deps?

The xorg-server extension will not work without Xorg-7.7.

If you use the apps gui "privides" option, you will see that xkbcomp is provided by Xorg-7.7-bin, which is a recursive dep of Xorg-7.7.

Ok, but when i starting Xorg7.7 i expecting to see black screen and a cursor, but i see only a black screen. On the Virtual box i had a cursor, but on a laptop - not.

I tried to config the Xorg by typing "sudo Xorg -configure" and that is what i get:
"modprobe:module fbcon not found in modules.dep
intel: waited 2020ms for i915.ko driver to load
Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices."

And this interesting things has in Xorg.0.log file:
"Hotplugging is on, devices using drivers 'kbd', 'mouse' or 'vmouse' will be disabled.
Disabling Mouse0
Disabling Keyboard0"

And the top mentioned error about created screens. So, please, type, what can i do now?

What graphics hardware do you have?

Since most hardware will work with Xorg-7.7 without the need for configuration, I suspect your download failed in some way and you do not have all of the extensions you need.

There's no need to reinstall Core - if you get to a console prompt Core is working properly.

Do you get a gui with Xvesa?

I want it because maybe i messed up with config files.

Yes, i can load a CorePlus with my flash-drive (which i think is using Xvesa).

Do you know, can Xvesa runs all Xorg applications (that are written to be used in GNOME or KDE, which as i know, is written for Xorg)?

If you messed up your configuration files you can delete them.

No, Xvesa will not run all gtk/gnome programs.

If you didn’t add the files to your backup, you can just reboot.

The config file(s) for Xorg are not under /home/tc, so unless you added them specifically to your backup (in which case you will know their names) you can reboot and the files will be gone.
