Fedora :: Xorg Configuration File Missing?
Sep 8, 2011
Recently made the switch from the evil OS, now running F14, KDE desktop. I use a Logitech Marble Mouse, which has no middle button but two scroll buttons, and have been trying to configure button mapping (I think this may also be called Xorg hotplugging?) to map one of the scroll buttons as a middle button. The most helpful info I have yet found was on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php...h_Marble_Mouse which seems to provide plenty of info on the subject--enough I should have no problem mapping the buttons the way I want. The only problem is I have no 10-evdev.conf file in my xorg.conf.d folder. I opened a console and ran ls as root for good measure, but the only file that showed up was 00-system-setup-keyboard.conf .

After I updated several software including Xorg server using "slackpkg update", I Ignorantly deleted configuration files without backing them up making Xorg server crashes.I try to build Xorg.conf using xorgsetup command but it crashes and spews:
Code:
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting
/usr/bin/xorgsetup: line 170: 3315 Aborted /usr/X11R6/bin/X -configure
I have a Radeon 4850 Graphic Card with ATI Catalyst as its driver, so I try to reinstall the driver hoping that it will fix the problem, which is a bad logic I admit it, and It fails to uninstall (for some reason the uninstall script is gone) and reinstall (problem with file extraction).

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 am trying to set up a permanent resolution in the xorg.conf file. At the moment whenever I reboot the machine the resolution defaults to auto. How I can change that to be constantly at 1600x1200?
Here is my xorg.conf file.

I'm somewhat spoiled by standard installations that do it all. This time I'm doing it more manually.I've installed a sid guest vm. I want to give it a graphical face, so for a change I've chosen the lightweight xfce.Only I'm missing the xorg.conf. I've installed xdm, so I have a login. However, it can't get in from there.It hasn't yet generated an xorg.conf in /etc/X11.Short of copying one, which I suppose I might try, How do you prompt debian to generate and configure the xorg.conf from scratch?Currently, I have
root@sid:~# tail /var/log/Xorg.0.log

I just updated to the new drivers. In my Xorg.0.log file, it doesn't show any errors. It just stop at a black screen. This might be a new bug with the binary drivers.

I am missing the File menu in many programs (Fedora 13). I found a thread that said this fixed itCode:yum remove gnome-applet-globalmenu gnome-globalmenu-common sshmenu gnome-applet-sshmenubut I did that and (I'm using audacity to test) it said that it was missing gnome-globalmenu. So I did Code:sudo yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install gnome-applet-globalmenu gnome-globalmenu-common sshmenu gnome-applet-sshmenubut now audacity is again missing the file menus.

While trying to solve the problem indicated in another thread [URL] .... I realised that I do not have the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Also, if I enter the command Code: Select allsudo kate I get
Code: Select allcannot connect to X server :0
I tried logging in to another terminal (tty3) and entered
Code: Select allstartx
Kate opened normally with root permissions.
Currently I have a Nvidia card but I am using nouveau drivers.
My question is: installing the Nvidia drivers (following the guide in [URL] .....) would fix these Xorg issues?
I had troubles with nvidia drivers in other distros....

I'm trying to get the latest Lenny running on some old hardware (a Winterm 3150se). Everything is working just fine except for two things.
When Gnome starts, it comes up at 1600x1200 resolution, which is too high for my monitor. It shows a portion of the right side of the display, If I select Screen Resolution, it gives me a few standard choices, but if I pick one, it acts like it's trying to honor my request, then comes back as 1600x1200 again.
My xorg.conf file had no references to Modeline, so I added a 1024x768 Modeline, not really understanding where the selection I was given was coming from. Anyway, it didn't help.
I can see in the log file that right after the entry about using xorg.conf, it says 'Module "ddc" already built-in', which must have something to do with it?
My hardware supports all the usual video formats, at least it does when it's running WinCE. Is there a way to force the use of xorg.conf or can someone tell me why DDC is acting like it's "read only"? Is DDC a file somewhere?
My other problem is that the Winterm refuses to not try to boot from the flash memory thumbdrive even though it's formatted as a non-bootable device - it's my SSDisk. I have to boot without the drive in, then slip in in just as the boot process exits the blue start screen. I can live with this problem, since it might be dumb hardware.

I just system-upgraded (testing) to kernel 2.6.38. All seems ok, except that a few things I added to xorg.conf in the past (basically, keyboard language switch) have no effect anymore. My xorg.conf is still there, it is still the same as before, but the changes I did in XkbdLayout section have no effect. It seems xorg.conf is not used anymore. I assume new version of xorg uses a different configuration file, but I'm not sure.

A few days ago I installed browserlinux onto my AspireOne netbook whilst connected to a 15" external monitor of 1024x768 at 60Hz. During installation I ran the Puppy Xorg Wizard with the netbook's monitor (1024x600) switched off. It selected the optimum resolution of my external monitor correctly as 1024x768 and the 'intel' driver for the Intel 945 Express chipset. However when I ran programs and maximised their windows they would cut off about a third from the bottom. I ran the Xorg Resolution Wizard which showed a resolution of 1024x600 despite xorg.conf only showing an option of 1024x768. I tried to copy a xorg.conf from Linpus (Fedora 8) which had required some altering in the past to run the external monitor at the correct resolution but X failed to start (possibly because Xorg in browserlinux is a newer release). Would it be possible for someone to upload a xorg.conf file which would enable display the external monitor at the correct resolution (and ideally allow switching between the two monitors - under Linpus the hotkey is Fn + 4) or suggest alterations to the current file?

I did a 'locate ipconfig' in the terminal and the only files I got were plipconfig, sipconfig.py/c/o, plipconfig.8.gz, ipconfig.h. I dont know what happened to my ipconfig file. Where I can get a new copy of it?

I tried to inactivate my touchpad during typing in order to avoid the curser jumping all the time due to accicentally hitting the pad.
The touchpad however worked from intallation on,without problems. Even two finger scrolling is supported perfectly. All attempts that I found in searching the internet rely on changes in the xorg.conf. I found out that it is quite normal to not have this file with debian squeeze, however I didn't find a solution how to change the configurations without it.

I start my box from startx but after getting these updates, x tries to start, I see a mouse and a screen for a second and then it drops out again. I'm running the latest nvidia drivers from nvidia and have tried reinstalling them and they install fine, but no go.
Only thing I can find in xorg.log is:
(II) Power Button: Close
(II) UnloadModule: "evdev"
(II) Power Button: Close
(II) UnloadModule: "evdev"
(II) Logitech Logitech BT Mini-Receiver: Close

(II) UnloadModule: "evdev"

My xorg.conf file is void of anything related to input devices and has been working a treat. So it would seem one of these updates has screwed evdev. I've tried reverting back to earlier versions, but I get the same issues. I was running squeeze with kernel 2.6.32-4-amd64 when all this happened. It was running like a trooper. I've now tried 2.6.32-5-amd64 but still no go.

I would like to profile Xorg and find out where it slows down during some particular usage.The only method that came to my mind was to starts sysprof, but that will only show that Xorg spends 85% of its time calling the kernel. Now, what I would want to know is the kernel function called and hopefully the function (or even a call stack) in Xorg which makes kernel calls.The other method I would know is callgrind, but I really don't know how to set up Xorg+KMD to start in valgrind.The problem I'm investigating is an Xorg slowdown after switching virtual terminals, bug #589348.

I've been scouring the internet for an answer to this problem. I am using Squeeze and have properly configured Grub2 to set my console screen resolution to 1024x768x32 (as per updating /etc/default/grub to contain 'GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768x32' and updating /etc/grub.d/00_header to contain 'set gfxpayload=keep') and everything works wonderfully. My resolution is set as it should be. However upon installing Xorg (aptitude install xorg ratpoison), my console resolution gets changed to what appears to be 1280x1024.
I thought that this was due to xrandr, however when I issue:
# xrandr -s 1024x768
only the X resolution is changed. When I then CTRL-ALT-F1 back to the console, the resolution is still at 1280x1024 (I am aware that xrandr only affects X, but I assumed that because my console resolution was correct before installing X there might have been some correlation).
I would like for my console resolution to stay at 1024x768 as per Grub2's configuration and for X's resolution to be at 1280x1024.
PS I also noticed that prior to installing Xorg, my CPU boots up without any screen blanking (only for a second or so). However, after installing Xorg, during the boot process the screen does blank briefly. It is at that time that the resolution gets changed to the 1280x1024 setting.

I'm trying to get my Intel HM55 GMA HD graphics card to work in Debian Lenny.As the vanilla Xorg didn't have any support for it, I manually compiled the last stable Xorg source (1.7.1 - such a pain) and the Intel driver. But when I try to launch X, I get the following message :
(EE) GARTInit: Unable to open /dev/agpgart (No such file or directory)
(EE) intel(0) : /dev/agpgart is either not available, or no memory is available for allocation. Please enable agpgart.

My PCI-E Nvidia card died, and I want to use the onboard video from my H55 chipset, which Windows identifies as "Intel 5 Series/3400 Series". This is on 10.04 LTS.I did 'apt-get purge nvidia*' followed by adding "intel" as the driver in xorg.conf, but on boot I get the message:
Code:

I have been tasked to set up 2 monitors on SUSE Linux Enterprise that are a clone of each other, but each displaying different resolutions. The primary display has a max resolution of 1024x768 while the secondary display has a max resolution of 800x600.
The problem comes when the secondary display shows a "cropped" version of the desktop. Is there anyway to show different resolutions on each display while maintaining the proper desktop look?

I am not sure if this is the correct forum to post this topic (I was struggling between hardware and software). But since I do not think this was a problem with my hardware(monitor), I decided to post it here.

I installed Fedora Core 13 x86-64 from the installation DVD and picked the "Software Development" installation. I notice that the Applications->System Tools menu doesn't have "File Browser" on it.
Nautilus is installed, so I can create a launcher for it. I'm merely curious whether this is a change or bug in FC 13? Or should I suspect that I myself deleted the file browser launcher accidentally? The machine is a laptop and I find the mousepad awkward to use.
