Where is the qxl driver being installed? Is it the same place that the server expects to find drivers? The normal place would be something like /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers if you're on x86. I see the instructions there are instructing you to pass --libdir=/usr/lib64 when building qxl. Don't do that if you're not on x86_64. On the other hand, I don't know why you don't have the void input driver. Maybe it's not installed. I don't know the debian/ubuntu package name, but it might be xserver-xorg-input-void. Anyway, your log would help. -- Dan _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: [email protected]
