Kernel is non-modular, and the same one as was running LFS before (where X was fine); Xorg is only compiled with support for i810, which seems to be the right driver for my onboard Intel graphics (it's the only one that lets me run Xorg -configure, and Ubuntu agreed that that's what it should be).

And I just found I told a lie about the compiler flags I used - I was quoting the ones from my environment (which I actually unset while building Xorg). The ones from host.def are more conservative (and, I think, the defaults there): -O2 -fno-strength-reduce -fno-strict-aliasing -march=pentium4 > Try as user > > startx > somefile 2>&1 && init 3 && init 3 didn't recover me - I missed the redirect when I scanned this mail before.. I'll try the redirect and || momentarily and post my results (I think || has more chance of recovering than && by the way: it will execute init if startx crashes, whereas && will only run init if Xorg exits with no error). > /var/log/Xorg.0.log and/or stdout (on the console you started X from) Xorg.0.log shows nothing (as reported in my original post, BTW). I'll look at the STDOUT next attempt. :) Stephen Liu wrote: >As 'root' please try; ># chmod u+s /usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg As I mentioned in the original post, Xorg is already suid root. This is necesary for Xorg to run as user in the first place - without this, it complains about not being able to move the log, and startx crashes before Xorg is launched. In my situation, Xorg lanches (and I get to an empty environment with my cursor in the middle), but then promptly crashes. -- Lennon Victor Cook -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
