Does anyone have an "Xorg.conf" example file for slitaz-rolling-core?
If not, where can I input vga=791 ?
I cannot input it into the slitaz grub legacy screen because I'm using Grub2 with another distro to boot Slitaz
It doesn't work if I input vga=791 into the Grub2 commands. Grub2 just passes the boot to Slitaz, and then the Slitaz boot parameters are not able to be edited.
Thank you,
Jon

offlineMemberYou should post the relevant part of grub.cfg. Normally you can put any option you want on the "linux" line.
Also, the vga= option may influence (badly *) the screen settings of X, but it's primarily intended to set the console resolution. So what do you want to do exactly?
(*) On my current setup the default console settings prevented X to display properly on every other boot.

EDIT: Probably I was already asleep. Of course this post was intended @Jon_J and not @distroliftI remember when I tested grub2 a few years ago having some similar problem.
In my notes, I've writen thatvga=was not supported; grub2 returned the messagetext is deprecated. Use set gfxpayload=. But I don't remember exactly then how I did...
I've since gone back to grub legacy, grub2 didn't bring me anything more.Have a look at grub2 docs:
http://www.linuxpedia.fr/doku.php/expert/grub2#premier_contact_avec_la_configuration (fr only, en link is dead)

Sorry I didn't reply sooner, with 70 degree weather, it got very busy here.
I finally got 'X' loaded.
I put "vga=791" into my other distro's grub2 grub.conf (You're not supposed edit that file), but I did just to get the GUI in Slitaz and it worked.
I'm not as good finding things at the commandline.
I had previously uninstalled video-vesa following these instructions.
http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:poulsbo
I have the Intel GMA500 poulsbo chip in this Dell netbook and it is a challenge getting Slitaz to work with Intel drivers.
I'm not sure which are the graphics (video card) settings. I attached Xorg.0.log
I couldn't find Xorg.N.log.
Below is relevent line in my Grub2 grub.conf
======================================================
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober_proxy ###
menuentry "unknown Linux distribution (on /dev/sda2)" --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,msdos2)'

linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.53-slitaz root=/dev/sda2 vga=791

offlineMember1 hour later: I was going to edit my post above, but the word "EDIT" disappeared.
Following these instructions: http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:poulsbo
I have my Intel GMA500 poulsbo driver running in Slitaz-rolling-core Date March 17, 2015
When I first followed those instructions, where the author states:
======================================================
# nano /etc/rcS.confLook for the row called LOAD_MODULES and remove poulsbo from the list, also make sure that psb_gfx is present.
Then remove VESA and add the psb_gfx module (which is inside the linux-staging package)
======================================================
I was in text mode then and there was nothing inside /etc/rcS.conf (I was also running as root)
Today I booted Slitaz with vga=791 as shown above in my last post. The window manager loaded, and I followed the instructions above, again.
When I got to the part where you use nano to edit /etc/rcS.conf, this time the rcS.conf file was full of settings.
I finished following the instructions, rebooted into my other distro, removed "vga=791" from Grub2's grub.conf file, and rebooted a second time into Slitaz.
Yay! 1366x768 Hi Def graphics is working!! :)
Jon
BTW, I almost forgot. In those instructions the author says to download and install:
xorg-xf86-video-fbdev-0.4.2.tazpkg
That package has beed replaced by: xorg-xf86-video-fbdev-0.4.4.tazpkg
And the url in those instructions no longer exists. I found the 0.4.4 version in one of the repositories using a browser on my desktop box. Once I found it, I was able to install it.Posted 9 years ago # -

offlineKey MasterCongrats Jon_J
The http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:poulsbo was written for 4.0
Difference between 4.0 and rolling/5.0
cooking/5.0 rolling iso is built with xorg-xf86-video-fbdev
See iso build log: http://cook.slitaz.org/cookiso.cgi?distro=rolling-core-4in1For some oddball reason xorg-server loads vesa instead of fbdev.
Vesa must be removed for xorg-server to load fbdev
linux-staging-3.2.53 must be installed to get psb_gfx.ko.xz
tazhw writes poulsbo to /etc/rcS.conf LOAD_MODULES=
Remove poulsbo from /etc/rcS.conf LOAD_MODULES= and replace it with psb_gfxPlease paste the output to paste.slitaz.org and post the link:
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
lsmod

http://paste.slitaz.org/?98b118ff39ef7b49#62G1QXXHHJU9/4/gnuYSiUA29rvMEoYJJObG81qoqFk=When I installed xorg-xf86-video-fbdev-0.4.4.tazpkg there was no message that xorg-xf86-video-fbdev was already included/installed in slitaz 5.0
I did everything you mentioned, same as instructions at en:guides:poulsbo [SliTaz Doc] except for the newer xorg-xf86-video-fbdev-0.4.4.tazpkgJon

offlineKey MasterThe instructions are written for 4.0
A driver in the cooking repo won't work for 4.0
It would be best to rewrite the info so it is generic to slitaz and tazpkg versions.
For example:
Verify xorg-xf86-video-fbdev is installed and updated:
tazpkg -gi xorg-xf86-video-fbdev
On 4.0 it will install correct version from the 4.0 repo.
On 5.0 if user is booted into core it will say it's installed.Posted 9 years ago # -

offlineMemberThe second sentence on the doc page is:
Run the installer and when asked for source pick Web and paste the following url: http://mirror.slitaz.org/iso/rolling/slitaz-rolling.isoSo I guess the installed system is not 4.0 anymore after that?
EDIT: I applied your suggestion, mojo.
