System :: X.org 7.2



Update: the fixed extension has now been posted to testing.
After setting up my Vaio C1VE with DSL 4.2.2 I had also to install a new Xserver. The resolution of the Vaio is just to strange for a normal installation  :(
After fiddling around with a full blown XFree86 I tried Xorg72.uci which installed fine. I prefer harddisk installation so I would like to keep this extension permanently but after a reboot it was gone.
So I unpacked the *.uci to my /home/dsl directory and moved it to /opt/
There is no mre XF86Config-4 file in /etc/X11.
I repeated the steps described in xorg72setup.info several times but no success  ( failed on Xorg -configure) each as user and as root.
XIO: fatal IO error 104 /Connection reset by peer)on X server ":0:0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
What can this be? When I mount the uci Xorg starts without problem...

What did you do in those steps?

Make sure you copy it with the correct permissions, i.e. as user dsl:
Code Sample
$ mydsl-load xorg72.uci
$ sudo cp -a /opt/xorg72 /opt/xorg72b
$ mydsl-load xorg72.uci
$ sudo mv /opt/xorg72b /opt/xorg72


Since you have a traditional hdd-install, you shouldn't have to re-run xorg72setup since your config files should still be there.
And you should be looking for /etc/X11/xorg.conf and not /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

Deleted my former xorg72 installation and just installed the way you told me.
Got this error:
Fatal server error:
Cannot move old log file ("/opt/xorg72/var/log/Xorg.0.log" to /opt/xorg72/var/log/ Xorg.0.log.old"
giving up
xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error
:(

You probably have to do the copying/moving as root... I edited my previous post.  X should run fine as root though.
These are just hd-install related things... perhaps removing the .tar.gz version was not such a good idea.

If that doesn't help it, maybe output `ls -l /opt/xorg72/bin/Xorg` here.
