Hi,
I just upgraded a server from "Squeeze" to "Wheezy", it went well apart from the "X.Org X Server".
I use "X.Org X Server" in combination with "Openbox".
Before the upgrade, "startx" was working well.
Now it fails with the message:
Code:
"Fatal server error:
AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0"
Even if I remove the "xorg.conf" file from "/etc/X11" or if I generate a new one with "Xorg -configure", it always fails with the same message.
I don't know how to solve that problem.
Can you help me?
Thank you.
have you looked at /var/log/Xorg.0.log to check the full output?
Of course I have, it is suggested in the output when "startx" fails.
I could see the error message:
Code:
Fatal server error: AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0
Yet, I don't know what else to look for in that log file.
It's not the first time in my life I struggle with "X Org X Server".
I would be more interesting for me if you could tell me what I should look for instead of having a look for me.
What could possibly go wrong (I guess there might only be a few possibilities given that I personally didn't change anything)?
What to put in the "xorg.conf" file?
Do I even need a "xorg.xonf" file (note that it doesn't work better with no config file: I checked. I actually get exactly the same error message with no "xorg.conf" file at all in "/etc/X11").
Where to retrieve the info I need from the system (lspci...) to properly configure that file (Section "Device" for instance)?
Does a new driver have to be installed given it's a Radeon graphics card?
Could it be "Openbox" which makes the "startx" command fail?
I really want to insist on the fact that my config what definitely working before the upgrade from "Squeeze" to "Wheezy" and that I didn't change anything in the "Squeeze" old working config.
Ok, here is the log file "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" (490 lines) after a failing "startx".
(Note that there is no "xorg.conf" in "/etc/X11").
Thank you.

[ 691.434] Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file.
maybe I should have mentioned this but I had assumed you had actually read the log file...
There is a hint in the file itself on what to look for:
Code:
[ 690.988] Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting,
(++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational,
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
So, armed with that information we look for lines with (WW) and (EE).
The first seven warning lines indicate that you are missing some fonts, but that shouldn't matter.
We see informational lines showing various X extensions being loaded. Next we see that the ati module and radeon modules are loaded. So you seem to have and ATI card and X is trying to use the Free driver.
Next thing of possible interest are the warnings about using the old probe method for vesa and fbdev, but that shouldn't matter because you are using the ati driver.
Then I don't see anything of particular interest until:
Code:
[ 691.429] (EE) RADEON(0): failed to initialise surface manager
[ 691.429] (EE) RADEON(0): radeon_setup_kernel_mem failed

Fatal server error:
[ 691.429] AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0
These errors seem quite non specific (to me at least). I checked for known bugs and found:
There are other posts in forums and bug trackers that are similar, but I've not seen a concrete explanation or fix. Although there does appear to be some indication that a newer kernel might solve this (presumably you are running the standard 3.2.0 kernel in wheezy).
Also, just be sure I wonder if perhaps you have the old proprietary fglrx driver installed. I would be good to rule that out as a source or complication of your problems. To find if it is installed via your package manager do:
Code:
dpkg -l '*fglrx*'
And look for lines with "i" in the second column, and uninstall the corresponding packages (if any).
There is also the possibility that fglrx was installed by hand - outside of dpkg. You may or may not remember doing it. You should be able to check by running
Code:
locate fglrx
Finally it might be useful to know exactly what video device you have, so please run the following and post the output.
presumably you are running the standard 3.2.0 kernel in wheezy
I noticed I was still running the kernel "2.6.32-5-amd64".
I guess I did an incomplete upgrade of the system... I don't know...
Here is what I did according to what I read in http://www.debian.org/releases/stabl...upgrading.html
I don't know exactly what I did next nor in which order (update, upgrade, reboot...), but now, the running kernel version is "3.2.0-4-amd64" and "startx" is working properly.
You did not have a kernel meta package installed, thus the kernel could not be upgraded. A specific kernel package cannot be upgraded to another kernel. Instead a new kernel is installed and the old one marked as an obsolete package. It remains until you clean it up. So yes it's up to you as a debian user to ensure you're running the kernel from the stable branch and if not, install it.
