14.2/Current Xorg issue

ReaperX7 · 02-09-2016, 07:28 AM

When I try to run Xorg -configure or xorgsetup results in X generating an error and refusing to write an xorg.conf for diagnostic and testing purposes. Xorg is working correcting with the automatic configurations though.

I'm on my mobile at the moment, so I can't duplicate or post the error, yet.

This is a fresh install for an ISO.

Xorg -configure (and all other ways to generate xorg.conf) has been depreciated for long time and to my knowledge it does not work with KMS at all. Users are supposed to create xorg.conf only for fine tuning - if needed at all.

hi ReaperX7,

I had this problem before,when my graphics drivers were wrong, and Xorg could not detect it correct.
a fresh install of beta 2 works perfect here

I ran lsmod and nouveau's modules are loaded correctly for my Geforce 9800 GT. Mesa is working under DRI also.

Xorg -configure is old but it should still work with kms and has for some time since kms first was introduced.

I'll try and post the error when I get a chance.
