| Post subject: | setup x11 |
Hello, I finally installed crux core on my Efika! I had tried before but I were having problems with netbooting over TFTP / NFS. The sources of my problems were iptables, /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny. So far I tried to add 2 additional packages: 1) Nano which installed perfectly. 2) X11 which doesn't work. What I did is: pkgadd x11#6.9.0-5.pkg.tar.gz startx the screen blinked for a second and then it returned to console with errors like: Quote:
(EE) Unable to locate/open config file
It seems like some stuff like libraries and configuration are missing.... ... ... dlopen: libfreetype.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file o rdirectory (EE) failed to load /usr/X11/lib/modules/fonts/libfreetype.so (EE) failed to load module "freetype" (EE) failed to load module "vesa" fatal server error: cannot run in framebuffer mode. Please specify busIDs for all framebuffer devices 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 I want to do is to first setup a working X11 and then add any necessary utilities (XFCE?) to have a basic windowing desktop. |

This forum is very quiet! Anyway on my problem, I noticed that crux iso contains a "freetype" package so I pkgadd-ed it too. It looks like I am getting closer but not there yet. Now I get the following errors: Quote: (EE) Unable to locate/open config file
Any help as to what to do next?

Well it seems that it can't find the vesa module which is not working on PowerPC. See this link : Crux PPC - Vesa problem on PowerPC Check also /etc/X11/xorg.conf file ("Device" section). If you have a radeon, that would be a good idea to replace "vesa" by "radeon". Hope that helps... |

@geoffrey_charra This guy's log looks almost exactly like mine. @both The only things I have done so far is pkgadd x11 and freetype packages. I have not made a xorg.conf file nor I know where and how to make one. My card is a Radeon 7000. |

btw, you need some dependencies
Code: root@sawtooth:/boot# ilenia -D x11
zlib [installed] expat [installed] freetype [installed] fontconfig [installed] libpng [installed] x11 [installed] then.. you don't have a xorg.conf nor a xinitrc. CRUX PPC doesn't supply any pre-configured /etc/X11/xorg.conf file then you must do your own one. you can use xorgconfig utility to do a standard one. I suggest to you to read: man xorg.conf man radeon ('cause your card is supported by this driver) you can study this working xorg.conf (it's from a CRUX PPC 2.2 on Apple PowerMac G4 AGP "Sawtooth"): http://acrux.homelinux.org:8080/varie/c ... /xorg.conf obviously you must set your monitor frequencies 'n your card driver. |

i've, a bit, cleaned thet xorg.conf. I suppose it works fine. I'm not 100% sure 'cause on this returned (flambe') Pegasos2 it freezes and it happens very often but i think this machine is the evil or is broken... tomorrow i'll try with a different video card. |

i've played with our Peg2 but it's always unstable... when PCI BusType is forced to have DRI sometimes xorg starts and works nice (glxgears runs at about 510fps) but very often doesn't start and freezes. |
