Platform: Intel PII, debian testing,
Diamond Fire1000 GL screen card (TI Permedia 2 chip set)
xserver-xfree86 and xserver-xcommon packages from
4.2.0-1pre1, the rest of X from 4.1.0-17
Yesterday I did a CVS update and a rebuild from the XFree86 source
tree, installing into a different place. I then symlinked
/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86
to the freshly built server (I checked with ldd that the server didn't
depend on any non-system .so files). But it won't run. Both when
starting up with startx, and in /var/log/kdm.log, when attempting to
start kdm, I get the following error message:
Fatal server error:
Cannot open log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log"
When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages.
Please report problems to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Both the startx and the kdm
restart were attempted as root.
Here's what I did:
cd ~/cvs/xc/
make clean
cvs up -dP
make World world.log
make -k install install.log
I have changed ~/cvs/xc/config/cf/site.def to have the following
setting:
#ifndef ProjectRoot
#define ProjectRoot /home/myuser/apps/X11R6
#endif
And then as root:
cd /usr/X11R6/bin/
mv XFree86 XFree86.deb.4.2.0-1pre1
ln -s /home/myuser/apps/X11R6/XFree86 .
All hints, guesses, and ideas appreciated!
Thanx!
