Hi, I have just "completed" a network install of suse 9.3 to my notebook
via nfs which was a good learning exercise and went well right up to
logging on for the first time. Clearly the resolution was detected too
low and I was prompted to configure it so I chose [EMAIL PROTECTED] thinking
this to be right and safe. Perhaps not... And as I look through the
following, perhaps this isn't because I changed the resolution?
The test did not work so I just foolishly continued and responded to the
message that the settings will take place the next time I logged in (or
words similar). So I logged out and now can not start an x session. I
get a command line login at which I can log on but no nice KDE desktop.
The error put up on the screen appears to be the log file
/var/log/Xorg.0.log (and it refers to itself for additional information
which is how I know). The relevant lines appear to be:
Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Undefined InputDevice "Mouse[3]" referenced by ServerLayout "Layout[all]".
(EE) Problem parsing the config file
(EE) Error parsing the config file
Fatal server error:
no screens found
(and then it refers to itself).
run sax2 (as root) from the command line.
I have fired up an editor and viewed /etc/X11/xorg.conf - lots of
sections in there, but the one referenced above is:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout[all]"
InputDevice "Keyboard[0]" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse[1]" CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse[3]" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "Keyboard[4]" "ExtraKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse[5]: "ExtraPointer"
Option "Clone" "off"
Option "VNC" "5 4"
Option "Xinerama" "off"
Screen "Screen[0]"
EndSection
After feeling quite clever for having managed the network install with
almost no problem at all, I'm looking forward to the challenge of
getting KDE running again, if anyone is able to help me sort this out?
Cheers,
Roger
