working xorg config for ATI Radeon 3850

Xorg config
I could use some more detailed information on setting up Xorg- I have a USB Shintaro wireless keyboard with integrated trackball, and a touch screen which is not cooperating with my setup. I tried Xorg -configure, and running xorgconfig, but it still can't seem to find the devices. Another thing is I have disabled mouse for the console, but Xorg still looks to /dev/sysmouse. I'm not sure if this is important or it can be ignored in this case.

But this package probably in turn depends on 'xorg-server', so your 'Xorg' file which is part of 'xorg-server' should be installed once you install the 'xorg' package.

WWW: http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/xorg - Eric Anholt [EMAIL PROTECTED] Origin: x11-servers/xorg-server [EMAIL PROTECTED] What I'm doing is trying to see which package the file 'Xorg' belongs to, and I'm trying to get some information about that package. What I found out is that the file in question belongs to the package xorg-server-1.4_3,1, and that if you have the ports tree installed, the ports directory would be /usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-server/. So if you want to check to see if the package which provides the file 'Xorg' is installed on your system, issue the command 'pkg_info | grep xorg-server'. If you see output then the package you need is already installed. Otherwise install the package 'xorg-server' in one of two ways: either install the pre-built binary [port] by issuing the command 'pkg_add -r xorg-server' or build the port from source by going to /usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-server/ and doing a 'make install clean'. I don't know why you didn't succeed in installing 'xorg-server' during your installation if that was indeed your intent.

Re: Xorg config problems
switched to Xorg for these machines a while back, and was pleased to find that I did not have to create a config file for Xorg as it was able to autodetect all the correct stuff. anyway - it's always better to create this file based on autoconfig made by -configure option. it's quite unlikely autodetect will get the most of your monitor and card. and in your case - autoconfig can't deal with such cases. but for CL5446 i have my config already done for 1024x768x16bit display - if you like. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Looks like you'll need to make some spec changes in a config file. Generate one with `Xorg -configure` ... it won't actually run X, but will test and tell you where it placed the file. Try X again, and make sure it's finding said file (check the output on ttyv0 or wherever ... log file will say also IIRC). You'll then need to tweak Refresh rates and Sync for your monitors and see what happens.

Try doing an X -configure, which will write out an xorg.conf file for you. You can then tweak the settings to something that works.

Xorg Config Problem-[drm] failed to load kernel module "i915"
I've just installed FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #0 and ran into a problem configuring X Window System Version 6.8.2. I have an ASUS P4P800 motherboard with a built-in graphic card (Intel 865G GMCH I believe). I receive the following error message when running the configuration test: [drm] failed to load kernel module "i915" (EE) I810(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed. Disabling DRI. This seems similar to the problem you had with the Intel chipset 945. I read your comment (below) but don't fully understand what steps were required. Could you provide more detail? "I solved this problem by using the text configuration tool via the xorgconfig command. I picked the i810 chipset driver and Xorg started up just fine."

Re: Where are the Xorg config files ?
Hi there, to run X you first have to run xorgconfig, to configure your X server. After that, you'll find a file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf Hope this helps, Edward Lichtner wrote: Hi all, I installed FreeBSD 5.3 along with Xorg 6.7.0-9 and KDE 3.3.0-4.

I had the same sorts of problems trying to use the x config scripts. My advice is to ignore the config scripts and follow the simple procedure in the FreeBSD handbook - "X -configure" and then test, check the log file to see if the monitor information is in there, or if not, search the web for an X11 entry for your monitor, or dig up the monitor specs and build it by hand. Other than the monitor part, it is quick and easy. The procedure you describe above was executed in this case; the conf file in the original message was generated by 'Xorg -configure', and the log file was generated by 'Xorg -conf /root/xorg.conf.new'. Additionally, the same release of xorg is running successfully on three of my 12 machines - the others run x clients only (in the case of the headless boxes), or (in two cases) are still running 4.10 with XFree86. This problem appears to be specific to the particular hardware configuration described in my initial note. (By way of explanation, the machine in question had run W2K until last week, but I decided to upgrade it to FreeBSD 5.3 for better reliability and improved function.) I have searched the X.org archives (and even resorted to google) for config information specific to the display called out above - with null result. Now I have X.org up and runnning on four different machines - and I'm loving it! See above. Perhaps a detailed look at the log file will reveal to you a clue which I have overlooked. I've not yet tried an explcit 'modeline' config - but my interpretation of the log from a subsequent run with the explicit monitor parms generated by -configure (but commented out in the auto-generated config) uncommented seems to indicate that the initialization process is failing to read the "Monitor" block, or the values are being overridden. Any substantive notions will be welcome. Regards, AEB -- Alan E.

Xorg config failure - help requested
Folks: Your kind help is solicited in the matter of an xorg config which fails to initialize on "(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration." Hardware is Sony PCV-L640, which is packaged from the manufacturer with an LCD display, Sony part number PCVA-15XTAP2. The maker's spec on the display calls out native resolution of 1024x768, and vidcontrol seems to confirm this. Additionally, DDC seems to find the display and read a reasonable set of parms. This notwithstanding, xorg server initialization fails. I've tried explicitly specifying DisplaySize, HorizSync, VertRefresh in the Monitor block of the conf file, to no avail. Log files, config files, and supporting data below. Any ideas concerning some means of torturing this config into working will be welcome. Thanks.
