Fedora :: 11 Xorg Is Very Slow ?
Sep 1, 2009
Why is X in F11 so slow. I have worked with fedora laptop since spring 2006. The first one was F5 and then F7. The X ran always very quickly,. well, at least quick enough. I did not feel any need to upgrade to F8 F9 or F10. I heard from my friend that new F11 is awsome. So I decided to change form F7 to F11. Result was quite big disappointment. The only good things were speed of Firefox and Opera. Specialliy Opera was like like greased lightning. But raw X applications were like snails. I mean applications compiled with lesstif or motif for example.
My machine is Acer TravelMate 2410. 1.5GHz and 512 MB RAM. Yes its old, but not too old. Can I tweak F11 somehow to make it work ?

Is it possible to import an xorg.conf file from Debian to Fedora and have it work? The reason for this is that I have an older monitor that only offers 800x600 as the maximum resolution.

I've just done a fresh install of Lubuntu 10.10 on an older Sony Vaio laptop. Having learned the hard way about editing xorg files, I wanted to create a backup of the xorg.conf file so that I dont have to do another install when I screw everything up. In a terminal, I typed

my laptop is running Slackware64 13.0. Today I tried to update to X.org 7.5 (version 1.7.1) from version 1.6.3 shipped with Slackware. I downloaded the relevant source tarballs from www.x.org and compiled them with no errors. The compiled packages are:
xorg-server-1.7.1
xf86-input-synaptics-1.2.0
xextproto-7.1.1
xcmiscproto-1.2.0
[code]....
My laptop has an NVIDIA graphics card and I'm using the proprietary driver from NVIDIA. Thus I reinstalled the driver after the update and tried to launch X.org with "startx". After a short while the NVIDIA logo appears for some hundred milliseconds and disappears then. But now the screen is blank and it is not possible to switch to another VT via Ctrl+Alt+Fx. But it is possible to login from another computer and restart everything, so that I conclude that the system does not hang.
It is even possible to do work normally with the laptop from remote. If I try to kill the X-server, it ignores SIGTERM and has to be terminated by SIGKILL. But the laptop's screen stays black and empty and does not allow to switch to another VT (chvt terminates with "interrupted system call."). dmesg does not give any errors.

I need to add -audit to the process /usr/bin/Xorg :0 -nr -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-MTmpH6/database -nolisten tcp vt1
And have added -audit to the line in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers but with no luck. I can't seem to find where this thing is getting launched from!

Does not matter if I first start Xorg from GDM or from console (runlevel 2 then startx), but after I upgraded to Fedora 13 Xorg is hanging on the first run.
I have to always kill Xorg and then start again. Second run works fine.

I am using Fedora12 and I'm running the radeon graphics driver, my card is ATi 8500 Radeon and I can't play hardly any games or use applications that require 3D Acceleration. The catalyst driver that I need for my ATi is too old to support Fedora 12 Xorg.is there a way to downgrade Xorg so I can install my cards drivers?
If there is how can I do this. If I run a 3D game of any kind It either works for a while and locks up the system where I can't even telnet into it to shut it down, or it won't start the game or App. I know I have some acceleration due to my glx gears, I could get into great detail of what I can and can't do.
Bottom line is since the video card is too old, not even the generic radeon driver allows me full freedom so there must be a way to install the other X.org without breakage
Code:
GL_RENDERER = Mesa DRI R200 (R200 514C) 20090101 AGP 4x TCL
GL_VERSION = 1.3 Mesa 7.7.1-DEVEL
GL_VENDOR = Tungsten Graphics, Inc.
[code]....
The R200 Radeon driver for my ATi in Fedora12 is not fully compatible with my video card, I was told this on an IRC channel a while ago, I think it stopped at Radeon 9600 ATi.

Alright setting up a friends netbook, display has been a little iffy (slow. glxgears is giving like 100fps). Couple issues: xorg.conf doesn't exist (i know thats typically not an issue) and "sudo xorg -configure" and "sudo xorg --configure" both return "xorg command not found."
glxinfo say that its using Mesa for the software rasterizer and that the driver is from mesa. lspci says the VGA controller is from Intel. I'm thinking xorg is defaulting to vesa for drivers, but I need to know how to change that to the open source intel driver

I am setting up fedora 11 for a home theater. I installed fedora on another computer and figured out how to get the sound working for a Claro Halo sound card. (NOTE: you need to update the drivers for alsa to the same version of the utils that came with fedora alsa-drivers-1.0.21)So I went ahead and installed Fedora on my home theater box. Now I have a problem with the x driver. Fedora installed the nouveau driver by default. Because I have a Panasonic wide screen tv the EDID is bad on this TV so I get severe overscan (Means I can't see the top and bottum menus) I need ti install th nv driver. I looked for xorg.conf but it's not there.So my ig question is how do you change the driver for xorg? And how do I make sure I have nv installed before I try and install it with x?

I can understand installing so many xorg-x11-drv-* files being installed, especially from a livecd. What I don't understand is why I can't remove the ones for hardware I don't have. For example, if I try to do a yum remove (or use yumex to do so) xorg-x11-drv-cirrus, it wants to remove xorg-x11-drivers.Now I understand that the -drivers file is a way to force all of them to be installed. Will it break anything if I go ahead and remove it along with the extra -drv- files?It is more than an academic exercise. I have installed Fedora 12 Constantine on my EeePC 900. Given the limitation in storage space, I would like to free up as much of it as I can so these superfluous video drivers need to go away. Since I don't want to break my setup in the process, I have not executed the command.

I've recently installed a Radeon HD 5770 graphics card, but it currently doesn't have support from any open source drivers (including MESA's experimental DRI drivers). The only other option would be ATI's Catalyst drivers, but 9.12 doesn't support Xorg 7.5 at the moment (the drivers disable Xorg; leaving a terminal only setup).
The question I've got is that is it possible to downgrade Xorg to 7.4 as a temp workaround and if so, how easy would it be to revert back to 7.5 afterwards.

My problem is I own an HP2133 with via graphics. These drivers are very poorly supported, both open-source and proprietary drivers F13 runs quite nice on that machine, but playback of videos or flash lacks much perfomance.Proprietary drivers are only provided for Ubuntu and that only for 9.10 by VIA until know. With these drivers Ubuntu 9.10 is able to playback flash/videos quite good. But Ubuntu (9.10) brings a few annoying bugs, which do not seem to be fixed, that is the thing I do dislike with this ditstro. I pushed my luck and tried these drivers with F11/F12, but they did not work due to differences in xorg version. In F10 it was possible to use 8.04 VIA drivers, but F10 has EOL and is besides flash playback considerably slower than later Fedora releases.
So I thought using alien or similar tools to convert the xorg packages from Ubuntu 9.10 into rpms and install these to a F13 release.... (Like downgrading to an older xorg like it was necessary in F9 for ATI cards ...) As the VIA drivers did not work with earlier version of Fedora, I had the idea porting Ubuntu's xorg to Fedora that way.Before I start spending a lot of time on this, I would like the freaks and neerds around here, if this to your opinion could have any chance of success.

I have installed Kubuntu 8.04.2 on a USB stick with persistence to keep any changes I make after a reboot and it works fine. I then installed the 185 Nvidia driver to give me higher resolutions and it works fine.
But each time I reboot, my updated xorg.conf is replaced with the default xorg.conf that ships with that version of Kubuntu and a backup is made of my updated xorg.conf (the correct one) which looks like xorg.conf.20100409135913. I have to put the backup xorg.conf back in place to get my Nvidia driver to work with the correct screen resolutions again. Otherwise my screen resolution is too low.
What could be causing this behavor? I'm sure it not the persistence feature of the USB stick failing since a backup is made of my original xorg.conf.
I might add more information. The xorg.conf that gets changed after a reboot says "This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using # values from the debconf database." #

1. What is the difference between files (xorg.conf and xorg.conf-vesa)
2. No matter how hard I try I can't change keyboard layout in xorg.conf-vesa (I change it in file ) but there is no actually anything changing, it starts to get annoying - for example - below goes my xorg.conf-vesa, if I uncomment and set line from

I tried to install the Catalyst 9.9 driver on Fedora 11 64bit. Only when I was finished with the guide, I read the comments that said it wouldn't work on 2.6.30 kernel.I've written over my old xorg.conf, blacklisted radeon and radeonhd, restarted my machine.When i restarted my machine X wouldn't work ofcourse and all I got is some red coulor in the top of the screen, and no access to terminal via ALT+F2->F6. only way to get access is to add "telinit 1" to the startup line in GRUB
I've tried
Code:
X -configure
and
Code:
system-config-display --reconfig
The first dosen't work and the last dosen't seem to be installed....since i'm on wireless the network has problems to connect....I can pull a cable but not right now.....
I have yet to try:
Code:
[root@fedora ~]$ /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh

I have just installed Fedora 12 (64 bit), and I'm having troubles getting it working on my widescreen LCD TV. Before I installed the nvidia driver, it worked fine. After I installed the nvidia driver, it showed output on the screen until it gets to the logon screen (I never actually see the logon screen), where it goes black.
I'm assuming this is to do with my xorg.conf file, but I cant for the life of me work out what I need to change. I have been playing with all sorts of options, with no success.

I am trying to configure an additional input device so I need to edit my xorg file. Any change I make is being lost when I reboot. The xorg gets reverted to seme default configuration. Even if the change is as simple as adding a comment. I have tried disallowing livna to edit the configuration file (using livna display configuration), but when I reboot, the system reverts back to the vesa display drivers.
How can I figure out what is recreating the xorg file? How can I disable this so my changes persist. Or is there another file I can add input devices to (or a way to automatically add them upon boot but before x starts?)

It's been months since I've used a Linux based OS. I'm a long time Fedora user so I'm not new to how Linux works. However, I was shocked to see that xorg.conf, as well as ctrl+alt_bs and ctrl+alt+f1-7 are no longer keybinds.
I installed the proprietary nvidia driver from the nonfree repos. This is where I messed up: I should have checked to note that my mothers GF6 onboard video controller isn't supported. Now, I boot into a black screen with a flashing prompt in the upper left hand corner. Normally, I would jump to the console using ctrl+alt+F1 to fix the problem manually. But, since It wont let me, I'm left in the dark.

Something bad happens after installing nvidia driver for my fedora 14. It's about the stored driver/xorg configuration, and it only affect on my current account. So I wanna know where can be a one-user-only VGA driver configuration stored. I'll delete it, it's give me a big trouble. Belows are how it become like this, and how the trouble appears. after nv driver installed, I change the /etx/X11/xorg.conf file and start another X with another account without exit current X. Now, everytime when I start gnome with current account, it pop up a message writes
Could not apply the stored configuration for monitors none of the selected modes were compatible with the possible modes: Trying modes for CRTC 354
[Code]...
And I have to wait for this pop-up message to disappear. During this some 2 minutes, I can't do anything, even Ctr+Alt+F5 to switch terminal fails. I can't PrintScreen neither. I've been uninstalled nv driver twince for this. but right now I decide to fix it.

1. telinit 3
2. Xorg -configure (root user)
3. cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
4. inside xorg.conf i have added the following:
under the "screen" section i have added:
DefaultDepth 24 then under the "SubSection" of Depth 24, i have added:
Modes "1680x1050" "1028X768" "800x600"
but then whenever i am try to start the X, it fails with the following message: no screen found...
since i am doing it for studying only, how to configure properly the xorg.conf file ?
