dragonprasad · 03-21-2014, 08:51 AM

Last time i had the same problem in X windows testing.

I booted in to the LFS Build and run " startx" but instead of getting the desired output i am getting these lines over the terminal

Code:

auth:  file /root/.serverauth.1694 does not exist
xauth: (argv):1:  bad display name "GEN1:0" in "list" command
xauth: (stdin):1:  bad display name "GEN1:0" in "add" command

dragonprasad · 03-21-2014, 01:08 PM

Guys after going through some config files i found the display error problem and corrected it. But now when i run the

Code:

 startx

last time it gave the output similar to the content of Xorg.0.log. But this time it gave information related to my system and ended with some error about the display. kindly see the attachment given below contain the picture of the result. and while saving the result of the command "startx" by using

Code:

startx 1> l.log 2> p.log

it is showing different from the output came on the terminal.

the output of the p.log file is

Code:

xauth:  file /root/.serverauth.1747 does not exist
xauth: (argv):1:  bad display name "GEN1:2" in "list" command
xauth: (stdin):1:  bad display name "GEN1:2" in "add" command

and afhter that command it is getting stuck their even if i press enter it is not showing any thing when i press ctrl+z the it is stopping. i think that as told in the book "command brings up a rudimentary window manager called twm with three xterm windows and one xclock window. " but they are not getting displayed on the terminal, because of the display is not getting selected(what i have figured from the config file) help me out to select the display.

And i am pasting it here below please have a look and help me out.

Code:

Section "Module"
        Load "dri2"
        Load "glamoregl"
EndSection

EndSection

dragonprasad · 03-22-2014, 10:32 AM

Sorry, typ-o...

That's a very incomplete xorg.conf. You need to generate a full xorg.conf, not use the example setup that targets that specific section of the xorg.conf file.

From the console run this command:

Code:

Xorg -configure
Xorg -config xorg.conf.new -retro

Use Ctrl+Alt+F1 to go back to the console and hit Ctrl+C to bring up the prompt again, then run:

Code:

cp xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Then use the example from the book to configure GlamorEGL and other specific modules.

dragonprasad · 03-23-2014, 01:35 PM

ReaperX7, thanks for the code i din't knew that i need to use them also.
But still their i am facing some problems.

as you said i used the command "Xorg -configure"

It is showing the following lines on window and getting stuck

You should have vesa and fbdev as fall-back drivers just in case radeon, for whatever reason, doesn't work. This edited xorg.conf should work for you.

dragonprasad · 03-29-2014, 12:52 PM

ReaperX7, thanks for your support but even after editing the xorg.conf file it doesn't start the Xserver.

the same happened last time also.
i am not able to figure what error is coming and where.
thought of doing BLFS again but this time using virtual machine....

ReaperX7 · 03-30-2014, 01:36 AM

If it won't start with the "Radeon" driver, them comment out all the options for Card-0, and replace "Radeon" with "vesa" and try to start it from the baseline vesa driver.

At this point you should have also installed pciutils so you can one perform hardware analysis.

Try running lspci and post what it says here. Afterwards we can diagnose what's wrong and see what else may be required.
