[gentoo-user] lsmod and startx don't agree

2006-10-08 Thread maxim wexler
Hello group,

I don't remember the exact details but I noticed that
any attempt to upgrade x11 revealed that everything
under xorg-x11 was blocked. So I did emerge -C
xorg-x11 then emerge xorg-x11. So far so good. I ran
xorgconfig and passed it the same values as before
since the hardware hasn't changed. Now when I run
startx it gives:

...
(==) Log file: /var/log/Xorg.0.log, Time: Sun Oct  8

(==) Using config file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf

(EE) Failed to load module radeon (module does not
exist, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.

Fatal server error:

XIO:  fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on
X server :0.0
  after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0
events remaining.

not true:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ lsmod
Module  Size  Used by
radeon105216  0
drm68884  1 radeon
agpgart33904  1 drm
...

The modules are there under
../kernel/drivers/char/drm/ just as always.

So I'm stumped.

I don't have an ATI card, but I am pretty sure, that X complains about the 
missing radeon driver, not the missing kernel module

X driver module =/= kernel module

you need both.

At that point you were supposed to follow the migration to modular X guide 
[1]. The important bits you've missed is setting the VIDEO_CARDS and 
INPUT_DEVICES variables in /etc/make.conf.

[SNIP]
 (EE) Failed to load module radeon (module does not
 exist, 0)
 (EE) No drivers available.

That means /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so from 
x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati is missing. That will be pulled in by 
x11-base/xorg-x11 if VIDEO_CARDS includes radeon. So set those two variables 
and run:

# emerge -va1 --newuse x11-base/xorg-x11
