Hi!

When I start my x server, I get this:

_XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6
_XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/athlon:0
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6

Could anybody explain me what those warinings mean?

For the 3 first lines : you don't have IP V6 enabled with your kernel (you can work without it)

For the last line, a problem with your driver, or the module is not loaded. Have you udev enabled ? (/etc/rc.d/rc.udev)

Module is loaded for 100%.
But I don't know how to check whether udev is enabled or not. The file is there (/etc/rc.d/rc.udev) and it is as is was installed (I didn't edit it).

try chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.hotplug and chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.udev, reboot and see if it works

no, unfortunately it didn't help

Do you have any more solutions?
thank you for your advices so far.

hi, dame. are you still getting this error message or did you fix it??

what negative effects were/are you getting when you use X (i'm not sure if you were able to enter X at all)??

if you're still having issues, feel free to post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf so we can have a look...

It seems you are using ATI drm module and have misconfigured X server.

• fglrx module has to be loaded - check it by
  Code:

  lsmod | grep fglrx

• try to run fglrxconfig again and make sure new config file is /etc/X11/xorg.conf (copy or link)
• it it won't help, paste here from X server output (usualy /var/log/Xorg.0.log) line(s) containg errors (EE), not only warnings (WW)

Ok, I changed to fglrx 3.11.1 now, but I still get this message (WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) found. I can use X, but I don't get 3d hardware acceleration pretty much. For instance -a game 'Americas Army' runs much much smoother under WindowsXP then under Slackware, which is shame I think.

So here goes the log, I will just put WW & EE only:

(WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/".
Entry deleted from font path.
(Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/").

(WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such file or directory)

Ok, so I found no errors. Here goes x.org(as before, I won't past hashed lines):

Never used an ATI card, but is this part of your problem?
Isn't this saying that it is having problems withthe device it found (BusID PCI:1:0:1), and you are saying htat the device is something else (BusID "PCI:1:0:0")? Would changing the second one to match the first one help? Total shot in the dark.

That's what it looks like to me shilo.

Ok, so I changed my xorg.conf so it look like that:

# BusID "PCI:1:0:0" # vendor=1002, device=4150
BusID "PCI:1:0:1" # vendor=1002, device=4150

And I get this:

Whoops! Guess that wasn't it. You already know how to change it back?

sure I do thx for asking
Nevertheless I still get this warning

(WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) found

and don't know what to do about it..

peace
dame

Well...what does lspci give for your VGA adapter?
Mine says 00:08.0 VGA compatible contro.... so I have BusID "PCI:0:8:0"

Have you tried running xorgconfig and see how the file it generates differs?

Take a look at this, could be the problem.
