Apparently xinit was eating a lot of potentially useful output. Anybody able to extract anything meaningful from this session?
# Xvesa -mode 0x117 -kb -mouse mouse,/dev/input/mice Int 10h (0x4F10) failed: 0x014F (function call failed) No DPMS Support -1 FreeFontPath: FPE "build-ins" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing. # Xvesa -mode 0x117 -mouse mouse,/dev/input/mice Mouse device is serial port, protocol exps/2 is not serial protocol Int 10h (0x4F10) failed: 0x014F (function call failed) No DPMS Support -1 FreeFontPath: FPE "built-ins" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing. # Xvesa -mode 0x117 Int 10h (0x4F10) failed: 0x014F (function call failed) No DPMS Support -1 FreeFontPath FPE "built-ins" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing. For those who came in late, this is under Qemu. I had to retype the output (Qemu doesn't seem to support copy-paste from a console session, hehe) so I hope there's no typos in there. Once Xvesa is launched, I can't make it respond to ctrl-alt-backspace signals from Qemu; to get at the output above, I had to launch "sleep 30; pkill X" in another terminal before each time I launched X. I have other people's builds of Xvesa running happily under the same emulator, so I can't see that the problem is with the emulator. I don't know off the top of my head where I can look up kernel calls (and Google isn't helping right now) so I don't know what 0x4F10 does. (I'm going to guess that it involves video mode setting--if I leave off the -mode flag, the server goes into a loop making failing 0x4F10 calls, which I assume is a symptom of a failed autodetect routine.) Also, the "Mouse device is a serial port" message is interesting. I can't seem to find any other magic combination of flags that triggers that message; it makes me wonder if the mouse device I'm pointing Xvesa at is not what I think it is. If anyone can point me in the right direction to continue debugging this, I would be very grateful. -- William Tracy [email protected] -- [email protected] Vice President, Cal Poly Linux Users' Group http://www.cplug.org "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." -- Evelyn Beatrice Hall, frequently mis-attributed to Voltaire _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
