change AccelMethod without xorg.conf

koloth · 04-04-2010, 01:24 PM

Hi everyone, I have the same problem as described in http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...m-xfce-754847/. Apparently the solution is to add

PHP Code:



Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"

to xorg.conf.
However my system apart from this works fine without xorg.conf. Is there a way to change the AccelMethod without an xorg.conf?

Thanx,

There is not. If you are sure you are not using EXA already (for some reason, I thought EXA was the default in the radeon driver in Slackware 13.0) you will need to create a bare bones xorg.conf file. Even this would probably work:

Code:

Section "Device"
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
EndSection

Thanks for the reply, i gave a try to your suggestion but Xfail to start stating "no screens found". Apparently a full xorg is needed. I'll create one with xorgsetup and see how it goes.

Maybe specify the driver as well, it might work.
