Changing Xfree86 to Xorg

olscratch · 07-27-2004, 02:51 PM

I recently used swaret to upgrade my slackbox. My stupid question is, if I am current with my slackbox then does that mean I am using Xorg instead of Xfree86? If this is the case, how do I tell?

Bebo · 07-27-2004, 03:05 PM

Swaret only upgrades packages in a package consistent way, so to speak. I mean, if you swaret --upgrade xfree86, then it will upgrade xfree86; it will not remove xfree86 and then install xorg. To tell which you have, you can either do swaret --list -i or simply ls /var/adm/packages to list all the installed packages.

To upgrade to xorg, you'll have to do swaret --remove xfree86 and then swaret --install x11. Keep in mind that the configuration file will not be /etc/X11/XF86Config(-4) any more, but /etc/X11/xorg.conf. It is sufficient to copy the XF86Config file to xorg.conf to keep the configuration.

Also, keep in mind that for instance xf86config now will be called xorgconfig.

The reason I ask it because, in my /etc/X11 directory there are two config files. One is XF86Config and the other is xorg.conf. I am thinking that I might have done the upgrade when I swaret --upgrade. I know that Slackware has recently switched from Xfree86 so Xorg.

Hi olscratch

Copy your XFree86 config file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Under the section "InputDevice" (this is only for the keyboard) the "XkbRules" option should be "xorg".

I am currently experiencing the same thing. I have updated my whole distro with swaret but I don't know whether I am using XFree86 or xorg since I don't know how to tell. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot !

To list all the files installed on your computer, you can either do swaret --list -i or simply ls /var/adm/packages. Now, both XFree86 and Xorg are a set of about 10 packages, which can be distinguished by that the XFree86 packages begins with "xfree", and the Xorg packages begins with "x11".

So, if you see a bunch of packages named xfree-something, then you have XFree86, and if you see a bunch of files named x11-something then you have Xorg installed. If you see both kinds, then I guess you have a problem. Remove all xfree and x11 packages, and reinstall all the packages for the one you want; in most cases that means all the packages starting with x11.

olscratch · 07-28-2004, 07:25 PM

Here is the list that I have. I didn't see any files starting with Xfree86.

OK good, then you are using Xorg.

-X- · 07-29-2004, 07:28 AM

Quickest way to tell what X you have is do $ X -version
Xorg has version 6.7, you will also see a link to X.org.

I'm using Slackware, how do I setup my xorg.conf to use Driver "Accel" ?

All attempts at the blatent obvious have failed miserably.

The problem is that I want 3D Hardware Acceration, and my Dell does it under Windows 98 and....

according to my support.dell.com, if I was running RedHat 6.2 or Redhat 7.0 I could d/l their X86Config file and use that.... but I don't have that, I have xorg.conf.... but there seems to be some key differences between the two. I'll attach both files but here's the key area that I think makes the diff:

Quote:

# The accelerated servers (S3, Mach32, Mach8, 8514, P9000, AGX, W32, Mach64
# I128, and S3V)
Section "Screen"
Driver "accel"
Device "ATI|3D Rage P/M Mobility AGP 2x"
Monitor "My Monitor"
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
EndSection

That's hitting the nail on the head but I'm having a devil of a time getting into xorg.conf format, keeps telling me it ain't never heard of Driver "Accel"

Any takers ?

(at this point, i tickled enough to know that they've made a stab at it, i know i'm close to getting 3d HW acceration on my dell and it's sooooo cool!)

my xorg.conf
