Help fixing X server setup
I recently upgraded from SUSE 9.1 to SUSE 9.2 using the mini.iso, and a 9.2 mirror. The installation went fine and threw no errors, however, immediatly upon reboot, the x server refused to start. I checked my configuration and realized that I had both XF86 and Xorg were present in /usr/X11/bin. I have tried moving XF86Config and loading xorg.conf instead. However, when I try to
"startx" I get an errors unable to load module "nv" unable to load module "keyboard" The only problem is, my xorg.conf is set to use the nvidia driver that I installed through yast. I have also attempted commenting out the entire keyboard section of my xorg.conf to see if X would start. Guess what.... (suspense) it didn't. However, the exact same configuration succeeds to launch an xserver when the command X -configure /root/xorg.conf.new is issued as root, just no wm, or even an xterm, which kind of defeats the purpose. What do I do? |
What are the file permissions on your xorg.conf that doesn't work? Also, do you have an extra one in your user home directory?

as root
mv ~/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf and go from there |
