 Gracias a todos.

los 1º q probaria es ha desistalar los drivers de nvidia no sea que los modulos
de nvidia te esten dando algun eco dentro del kernel o alguna referencia

y luego como te han indicado reconfigurar las X (dpkg-reconfigure, a mano, o

Para empezar ¿que es a lo bruto? ¿has hecho una imagen del disco y lo 
has metido en el otro ordenador? Prueba con vesa y resoluciones bajas. 
'screen not found' significa que en el arcivo de configuracion de las x 
(/etc/X11/XF86Config-4) se esta utilizando una variable 'screen' que no 
se ha definido. Segun tu paciencia y tiempo elige una de ellas para 
solucionarlo.

Un saludo.

Si usas XFree86 entonces:

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

O caso contrario si usas Xorg entonces:

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

No se si te sera util, lo mismo me paso al instalar Sarge desde Cd, 
recupere las X ejecutando el programa /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config, fue el 
unico que me funciono, despues ya pude utilizar xf86cfg.

Fontes X (help)

2002-03-16 Thread Flatmcore99
Bonjour,
J'essaie de bidouiller mon XF86Config-4 pour tenter de faire marcher le serveur 
X
Le message d'erreur est le suivant :
Fatal Server Error :
Could not open default font 'fixed'
Il me semble que je devrais installer cette police, mais je ne la trouve pas 
(je ne connais pas la commande)
J'ai quand même installé les fontes 100dpi (la seule que j'ai installée):
apt-get install xfonts-100dpi
mais je n'ai pas le package pour les 75dpi sur mes CD, et je ne connais pas le 
nom des packages à isntaller ppour obtenir les autres.
(J'ai uniquement les 3 premiers CD de la Woddy)

Si quelqu'un peut me dire comment installer (ou régler ce problème) cette fonte 
'fixed', ça serait cool ;
mais si quelqu'un a une S3 Savage4, je le supplie de m'envoyer son XF86Config*

Encore autre chose, lorsqu'il y a marqué No Screens found, le problème se 
situe-t-il dans la Section Screens, Monitor, ou celui de la carte graphique ?

Hi,

I was running Debian stable OK, but wanted a newer version of a
particular package and upgraded to testing.  This seemed to go OK, until
I rebooted the PC and many things, like X, man, and Ethernet were gone.
I tried a fresh install of testing, and most things are working, except
X.  It appears that the driver loads and finds the card OK, but then
dies after that.  Any ideas?  I've included a few files that might help.

TIA,
Mike

GNOME is like that.  I've had good luck with IceWM and sawfish (though
the latter is too slow for my old hardware).  GNOME seems to complain
about other window managers, even if they purport to be GNOME
compliant.  Currently I just use XFCE, it does session management, is
light weight, has a panel thingy, and all those GNOME apps work just
fine.  It's only the session manager that really cares about the
GNOME compliant WM.

 Are these related?  How do I get a gnome compliant window manager?  I
 assume it's apt-get install something.

No, they aren't related.

Upgared stable to testing, and I broke X, help please.

I am trying to upgarde a fairly important production machien from
stabel to testing. I built a test machine at home this weekend and
tried this, and all went well.

However that machine had a smallish disk, and I did not install all the
packages, big mistake!

During the configuration step, I was prompted to choose, what I vaugely
remember as a X server, but after I chose that later I swa some
messages that made me think I might have picked XFree86 4, which was
not what I intended to do!

In any case, X was working great on this machine, untill I did this, so
what's the best way to figure out what I have dome to create this mess,
and get back to my working config?

Well...I did a dist-upgrade to Testing yesterday (and managed to straighten
out the mess after about 10 hours or so).  These may be overkill, but their
the only suggestions I have based upon my own experience:

   1.  Roll your own kernel from the 2.4.1 kernel sources.
   2.  Be sure your modutils is upgraded.
   3.  purge your old xserver (dpkg --purge xserver_yourXServer)
   4.  Install task-x-window-system
   I also had to install libglide3* for my Voodoo3 3000 and a few
   other X related packages that were held back on my system for
   some reason (task-x-window-system-core and a number of font packages)
   5.  Create an XF86Config-4 file using xf86config (I've heard dexter is
   really good, but I have no idea where to find that.  Could it be
   dexconf?)

libqt2.2.x help

2000-11-04 Thread Jaye Inabnit ke6sls

Hello,

I am attempting to './configure' a new kde2 utility 
(http://www.1409.org/projects/kpsk/) and it depends on qt2.2
or better. This am, my apt-get included 19 megs, of the updates,
qt2.2 was included - To my surprise. Yet, after a boot (just in case),
I attempted to run the configure script and it reports:
checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (snapshot = Qt 2.1 beta2) (headers 
and libraries) not found. Please check your installation! 

Here is what my system reports:

Even though dselect reports that I have libqt.2.2-dev installed, my system

repair. If anyone can shed some light on this, I would really appreciate it.

Installing X help

2000-07-30 Thread Chris Cameron
I'm hoping someone would be kind enough to help me out with a problem I'm
having with X.

As usual I've screwed up part of my Linux system. I was trying to update
from KDE/X 3.3.5 to Gnome and X 3.3.6. After removing all evidence of X and
KDE, I tried installing X with the binaries on their site, but I ran into an
ldconfig problem complaining about a lack of Xaw3d. Same story when trying
this with .deb packages.

Any chance this is a common problem? Is there at least another route I can
take to getting X going again?

Thanks for any help,

It'd be helpful to know which version of Debian (Slink, Potato, ...).
If you're missing Xaw3d then you probably haven't grabbed all the
necessary X packages (like xaw3d).  Anyway, you probably want to install
xaw3dg.  Maybe you want to use apt?

Please give this newbie some advice.
I have configured X to the point where I get an Enlightenment window including
one open terminal window that gives me access to the command line. 
But I can't use any functions. When I try to open Eterm, Electric Eyes, GIMP,
etc., I get messages saying they are not included in the /bin/bash path. I
check echo $PATH naturally, but I don't understand what path the enlightenment
stuff should go into. 
  Also, when I try to go into GNOME, following instructions from the OReilly
Debian book, I am told much of the stuff, gmc, panel, etc., don't exist. I try
apt-get update or install or install --fix-missing with no luck or else to
receive messages that 404 isn't found.
  Any ideas? Thanks in advance. STeve W

Problem with keyboard in X - HELP ME !

2000-01-08 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi to all !

I need to customize the keyboard under X, but I am not able do it.
Without X (bash or csh), I usually use 'loadkeys ', and it works fine.
But when I start X, the loadkeys command loses his settings, and the
keyboard has got different keys's binding. 

The only one terminal in X that works enough fine is 'rvxt' (icewm),
but anyway I have got some problems using 'joe' (the editor), especially
with the arrows keys, which they seem don't recognize my settings at  
all.

Why ?

 Please help me !

 Thanks.

 Have a nice week-end to all. Bye bye.

X Help

1999-08-24 Thread Tom

Howdy all.

I just had to install Red Hat 6.0 on a workstation at work (I was rooting
for Debian but they said nope) and I've got X up and running fine sort of.
When you exit out of X the terminal screens (all of them) give jumbled
charachters all over the screen and the only way to get things back to
normal is a reboot.  I configured X using the XConfigurator that comes
with RH6.0 and the Video Card and the monitor were both there in the list
of hardware.  Can anyone lend me a hand with figuring out why X when
logging out screws everything up.  Thanks.  The config file that the
server is using can be found here:

installing new kernel crashed X - Help

1999-08-01 Thread Micha Feigin
I tried to compile an install kernel 2.2.10 on a 486dx2.
It compiled correctly, but when I tried to install it it wouldn't start
(halted with a message that it was trying to open some module and couldn't
find it, and then that it couldn't mount root file system on 03:01.)
I rebooted with the old kernel (a localy compile 2.2.5).
I then tried to recompile 2.2.10, reinstalled it, but it still didn't
work(same error).
When i went back to the old kernel again and login into x, when i tried to
log as a normal user, the screen would go blank and then throw me back to
the login prompt (kdm). It did let me login as root.
On the text consoles (not x11) i can log in as a normal user.
What did I kill?
All i changed was the kernels and lilo (at list as far as i know).
If it helps, the compilation over filled my hard disk (it showed 0 space
before starting the compilation)
The second, the one that crashed the system, I didn't clean the kernel

Dear Micha Feigin,

I've had the X11 Problem, too. Possibly, you forgot to include some network
drivers/ protocols needed by X11 (TCP/IP etc. I think) in the kernel. I just
tried different protocols until it ran.

If it can't mount the root fs, you forgot to include a driver for that fs in
the kernel, I suppose.

By the way, why are you willing to switch to 2.2.10???

You should clean up your hard disk-did it cause any errors when compiling
the kernel?



Kind Regards, Stephan Hachinger.


Thanks for X help and Smail help

for each depth, the server will try the modes in the order  they are
listed here (if you don't give the server a -bpp optiion, it will likely
run with 8 bpp, thus the Depth  8 section woul be relevant).  If you
don't like the order the server tries the modes in here, just become root
and reorder 'em. Also you can normally go through these modes with
Ctrl-Alt-KP+ or Ctrl-Alt-KP-, where KP+ and KP- are grey + and - on the
ten-key-calculator keypad, respectively.  And there're plenty more
goodies in the XF86Config manual page.

Try using xf86config, instead of XF86Setup, it might help.  Also, tell 
us the
details of XF86Config file and what video card you are using.  In my
XF86Config, I have an entry like this (in the Screen section):

Subsection Display
Depth 16
Modes 1600x1200 320x240 400x300 640x480 800x600
1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024 -- these go on the above line
ViewPort  1600 1200
EndSubsection

Now if you don't want to use your monitor as a viewport on a larger, virtual
screen, make sure the ViewPort line is the same as the first entry on the
Modes line.  The first resolution on the Modes line is what X tries to start
in.  Note:  not every video card will support all the modes lines above.  You
will probably have to edit the mode lines (prior to the Screen section) after
selecting a video card in xf86config.

I may be getting in late on this thread; at any rate, I don't recall what
your specific problem is or what things you've tried. However, from your
post I take it that you'd like to change your video resolution. You might
try running XF86Setup and try to change your settings there. If that
doesn't work, you might repost with a brief summary to remind us (or at
least me) of your problem/attempted_solutions.

What you mean?Do you mean that when you move a mouse to the edge of a
screen (left/bottom), you shift to another screen? It's called 'virtual
desktop', it's perfectly normal
 
 Is there a way I can change the resolution so X can fit my screen

To answer this: If you know at what resolution you are right now, run
xf86config and , after you choose all the parameters of video/monitor, you
will be given a choice of modes.
Just look up the mode you are in, say, you use 1028x764 at 8dpp
, but you want to use 800x600 at 8dpp. Then hit 1 ( change modes for the
8dpp). There you can make up your own orde of modes.
SO you put 800x600 first.

For example: You have 640x480, 800x600, 1024x764  at 8dpp
ANd 1024x764 is too bad for you. Hit 1, and 
choose 800x600, and then 640x480. When you come back, you will have
800x640, 640x480  at 8dpp
Therefor, when xserver searches for the first valid mode, your 1024x764
will not be used, since it's not in the list. And 800x640 will be used
instead.

 Thanks

No problem.

that like or make the value the same as the highest resolution in every
color depth.

I think hat you want to do is edit our XF86Config File (find it in
/etc/X11). You need to find the 'screen' section. In this section there
is a subsection for each colour depth (eg, 8, 15 and 16 bpp etc.). For
each of the colour depths thee will be a line that says 'virtual 1024
768'. The numbers may be different in your case, but they are what you
want to change. Set the Virtual size to the largest size listed on the
Modes line and that should give you what you want. You can also change
modes by pressing 'Ctrl  Alt  +or-' , but use the + and - keys on the
number pad.
Hope this helps.

1998-03-16 Thread Brian Schramm
I am running Debian 1.31.  I want to install X windows on my system. 
Keep in mind that I have run X windows on this machine in the past using
XFree86.  So I know there is no incompatability in the software hardware
issue.

Here is the problem:

I cannot run XF86Setup.  It will not show anything on my monitor.  I
configure it by way of xf86config and run startx and get a blank screen
also.  I have tried the copy off my CD and the copy on the debian FTP
site with the same results.  BTW, it must be loading because all I have
to do is wait for the hard drive activity to stop and press
CTRL-ALT-Backspace and get back to my CLI.  This has to be something
simple that I have overlooked since I cannot see the system not
working.  BTW, I have looked at the configuration file from my old
install and cannot find anything meaningfull different between the two.  

Here is my hardware:

HP Pavilion 7166
133 MHZ Pentium
36 MEG RAM
Several HD's
IDE CD-rom
S3 Trio64 V+ built in vidio card with 1 MEG ram
HP Pavilion 15 Monitor

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Have you tried to run XF86Setup and NOT use defaults found in
XF86Config file?

 Yes I have.  I cannot get it to run in ether mode.

 Please reply with your email address since I get this by way of the
 debian digest and for some reason it cuts off the email addresses of
 everyone on the list.
