Xorg

iotc247 · 06-29-2004, 04:40 PM

Well i configured xorg.. And choose everything i did with xf86config back when the much better xfree86 was used.. But there is a major problem.. The resolution doesnt go to 1280x1024.. It uses 800x600 i think.. This is after a free 10.0 upgrade.. What is wrong with this..

Forgot to mention that it wont take my setting for my scroll wheel.. I did the

Code:

Option "ZAxisMapping "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "5"

And it still doesnt work..

This may be obvious but if this is not a fresh install make sure you don't have an XFree86 config lying around as xorg will read that first...

iotc247 · 06-29-2004, 05:08 PM

Fresh install..

iotc247 · 06-29-2004, 05:10 PM

Have u used arch linux? I just copied my xf86config file from there and renamed it to xorg.conf and it worked.. so i hope there is no differnce between the 2 systems. That way ill just continue to use this config file..

i just installed slack 10 and need to configure x.org. how did you do it? i installed kde and x.org from a standard install but when i type startx the screen goes into suspend mode.

It's called xorgconfig and xorgcfg now

iotc247: Maybe you should check your monitor timings.
My monitor needs HorizSync 30.0 - 96.0 with VertRefresh 50-160
Of course you should check your monitor's manual before-hand.

What is the protocol set to? Should be "imps/2"

Failing that, what device is it using? Double check that that device maps to your actual mouse.

eg. if the device is /dev/mouse, do an "ls -l /dev/mouse". If /dev/mouse doesn't point to anything, try some other values until you find the one that works. (eg. /dev/psaux)

Is that cut-and-pasted directly from your xorg.conf file? If so, there's a quotation mark missing at the end of "ZAxisMapping".

Flip your lines around. Have it go:

Code:

Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

Otherwise it doesn't know there's 5 buttons until AFTER you tried mapping the zaxis to buttons 4 and 5, so it couldn't because it thought there were still only 3 buttons.

Nope it wasnt cut and pasted.. For some reason xorg wouldnt use every value i told it to.. I told it to use the nv driver and it used vesa i told it 30-100 or something like that (one of the default options) for the sync rate thing and it did something else.. Seems like a but in xorg.. Hm.. I wish xfree didnt screw with its license.. It was much better and is still better then xorg..

jsmarshall85 · 06-29-2004, 10:37 PM

got xorgconfig to work and about the buttons 5 option...i dont have that and never have in any version of slack with xfree and now x.org and the scroll works fine with just zaxismapping 4 5 set

My scroll mouse works fine under x.org. I used the Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" without the 5 button option. However, mine only works if I put the protocol to "Auto" instead of PS/2 or imps/2. Are you trying to get functionallty out of your 2 additional buttons?

imforion · 06-30-2004, 02:49 AM

I seem to be having the same problem. I have tried everything from setting up the xaxis to the 5 buttons option to setting the device to auto. I have a logitech usb mouse and using the logitech option doesnt help.

Edit: actually nvm, I finally got it to work =oP

post your xorg.conf file so we can take a peek at it. i finally got mine to work at 1024, 1152, and 1280 all using the nv driver. now i just have to figure out if the nvidia driver works with x.org as it did with xfree86
