Missing output drivers. Configuration failed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a video card nVidia Quadro NVS 290.

Did You follow this page http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs...x/x-setup.html
stops the error

Then this cd,s you to ~ and creates file

Just finished installing Xorg Server and the next day to continue installing Xorg Driver, you must type in the setup script again?:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
export XORG_PREFIX="/usr"

export XORG_CONFIG="--prefix=$XORG_PREFIX --sysconfdir=/etc \
--mandir=$XORG_PREFIX/share/man --localstatedir=/var"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have to type in the setup script again? because I had to install Xorg driver the next day or not? maybe that's the problem.

Hi,

Those variables need to be set when building X.

- Did you create this file (as mentioned in the book): /etc/profile.d/xorg.sh?

If you are unsure if those variables are set, execute the following command: The first one should show: /usr
The second: --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --mandir=/usr/share/man --localstatedir=/var

If that is not the case, revisit the page I linked to and check everything.

Hope this helps.

Well once again started doing everything and if you made ​​a mistake by not writing the setup script I think everything is going well, but when the command digit.
cd ~ & &
Xorg-configure

and

X-config ~ / xorg.conf.new

The monitor tells me "monitor Out of frecuency". It is for nVidia Quadro NVS290 card I have.

Hi,

What does your xorg.conf look like and what is in the Xorg.0.log file?

Have you tried a bare/minimal xorg.conf file, something like this:The above driver setting does assume that you are using the default nvidia driver (fglrxnv) and _not_ the one that can be downloaded and installed from Nvidia (the nvidia driver).

Hope this helps.

EDIT: See post #9, I mentioned the ATI driver instead of the Nvidia one......

Dejavu

Does your file exist (/etc/X11/xorg.conf)?
If not, "X -configure" wil place it in your current map.

Copy/move it in the right location:
sudo cp ~/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

PS: "~/" is your home map.

Errrr....
fgrlx is a commercial AMD/ATI driver ;)
The nvidia ones from xorg are either "nv" or the newer "nouveau".

You are 100% correct (that's what happens when you use both....).

Sorry about the possible confusion, I'll edit my previous post.

The BLFS approach first creates a sample/test xorg.conf in the roots directory. After testing it and making sure it is ok it is copied to its final place. So at this moment there is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf present.

I thought that modern versions of X don't need xorg.conf?

Nothing against B/LFS, but that wouldn't be their first mistake (i don't see anything for that in their* already difficult to understand code base).
If you create it as a normal user, you wouldn't have the the permissions to write in /etc/X11 anyway.


edit
*> "their" being xorg

You are, in general, correct. But..... this is BLFS.

I never could get the X working without at least a bare/minimal xorg.conf and then I'm ignoring the fact that ctrl-alt-bksp isn't working out of the (BLFS?) box. A lot of the settings I have in my xorg.conf are detected automatically when I look at the output of Xorg.0.log and I could remove them. Some aren't and I do need/want those.

Going through the process described by the BLFS book does give you an inside how things work and I do believe that is a plus.

Besides that: I must admit that I'm probably weird when it comes to tinkering with these things: I also created an xorg.conf on my Debian box (which isn't needed when it comes down to it) :D

Indeed.
It's only needed if its auto-detection mode failed or with some commercial drivers (like nvidia).
