Laptops :: XF86_SVGA

Same error

I'm running a HD install of DSL 0.8.3 if that makes any difference.


Re-read my first post, there were some typos that Ive fixed. If it still doesnt work...

use CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE keys to exit to the command line and try running XF86_SVGA with no parameters. If X starts up hit CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE again to exit.

If it doesnt start up do...

script
XF86_SVGA
ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA
ls -al /usr/bin/X11/XF86_SVGA
ls -al /usr/bin/X11
(hit CTRL+D to stop recording output)

and post the output (which is in the file called typescript)  so we can see whats going wrong.

BTW You did remember to put the XFConfig into /etc/X11/ directory, not the /etc/ directory where XBF/XFCom looks?
Yes, I have XF86Config is /etc/X11    (Is it suppose to be named XF86Config or XFConfig???)

Here is the output from the script and below that the XF86Config file:

can you post the output of...

od -c /etc/X11/XF86Config | head -4

I think you might have strange \r\n DOS end of lines. If so you might need to ...

cat /etc/X11/XF86Config | dos2unix > ~/tmp
sudo mv ~/tmp /etc/X11/XF86Config

Would it be possible to make this a .dsl extension?  I imagine a lot of folks on old thinkpads would benefit.
