| Quote (markm @ Mar. 16 2006,18:23) | When I startx as user, X won't load and complains about my keymap.
When I startx as root, X loads with the old crappy xvesa server with 16 colors. Sometimes I have some applications when right clicking on the desktop, sometimes I don't. I never get any desktop icons.
When I type XF86_SVGA as user (or as root), X loads with a grey screen and a spastic mouse (no fluxbox)
When I read your previous posts (page 2) you fixed the problem of X loading with a blank grey screen by doing stuff found on the linked web site, I'm assuming it was the "sudo chown root XF86_SVGA" commands. They didn't do any good for me. |
Yeah, that's weird. I was getting that same complaint about keymap, but it was the chown, chmod, etc that fixed that for me.
But that reminds me -- it still isn't right, because I don't get the icons, but I can only configure it at 8 bit color, anything else and it can't start, so maybe it needs more colors to run the icons? I can get at everything anyway, with the mouse opening menus, but some other stuff is weird too -- the xshells, for instance, the menu offers light, dark, and transparent. The light and dark are backwards -- if I choose light, I get a black xterm window with white type, and visa versa. And some apps, like Ted, I can't open a new document, clicking on New in the menu does nothing and ^n doesn't work either -- both work in the cd version on my desktop box. So I'm not sure what's with that, maybe I need to look for a different keymap or play with my XF86Config some more.
