so, I compiled a new 2.6.34 zen kernel for my nfluxos arch/slack versions
and after booting up off usb I discovered /usr/bin/xconf; which Slax uses
to configure X, is not working?!
when trying to run "xconf" it bombs out saying
it can't, for some reason, run...
Code:
echo "Trying to autoconfigure Xwindow system, please wait..."
/usr/bin/X -configure 2>/dev/null
if [ ! $? = 0 ]; then
echo "cannot run auto config. Try xorgsetup (menu) or xorgconfig (plaintext) commands."
exit 1
fi
if I try to run "X -configure"
it also bombs out saying segfault...
so, anyone have any ideas why going to newer kernel would cause this?
thanks
It's xorg 1.8.1 thats the issue....
trying to run X -configure results in this
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
