Hi all,

I get the following problem when i tried startx in command line. I cannot go to the gui shell and stuck with this problem.

(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
(WW) 1810: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:1) found
Synaptics DeviceInit called
SynapticsCtrl called.
Synaptics DeviceOn called
/usr/bin/gnome-session: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied

waiting for X server to shut down Synaptics DeviceOff called
FreeFontPath: FPE "unix/:7100" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.

Please help me as soon as possible, i am going crazy

Heres my Xorg config file
If you open yours vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
your probably missing some key sections (all above)

check your i suspect most likely
{Device] is completely missing or messed up.

Hi,

The above given is my Xorg.conf file. I cannot figure out the problem. I think my problem is in the section files as given below but i am not sure:

Quote:

Section "Files"

# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, a font server independent of the X server is
# used to render fonts.
FontPath "unix/:7100"
EndSection

Section "Module"
Load "dbe"
Load "extmod"
Load "fbdevhw"
Load "glx"
Load "record"
Load "freetype"
Load "type1"
Load "synaptics"
Load "dri"
EndSection

Currently, I am using (GNOME )FC5 , kernel version 2.6.17-1.2187_FC5. [Laptop - Compac Presario V4000 Model].

I would be very grateful, if anyone can figure out the problem.

Bingo
copy/backup your file
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.bak

Code:

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "single head configuration"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Synaptics" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "AlwaysCore"
EndSection

Lose the synaptics line in Layout

does the error still happen?
if no these is some thing wrong

here

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
Option "LeftEdge" "120"
Option "RightEdge" "830"
Option "TopEdge" "120"
Option "BottomEdge" "650"
Option "FingerLow" "14"
Option "FingerHigh" "15"
Option "MaxTapMove" "110"
Option "VertScrollDelta" "20"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "20"
Option "MinSpeed" "0.3"
Option "MaxSpeed" "0.75"
EndSection

Mine

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "layout1"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
Screen "screen1"
EndSection

and if it doesnt work remove these tvout? lines
Viewport 0 0

PS mines a laptop so if it fails just replace your whole file with mine.
