Problem with X in installed SliTaz

steinc_ST · 2015-12-12 20:08:44

I am unable to configure X on an installed SliTaz (rolling, or RC 5.3) although X works fine off of the live CD. I am able to boot to the console login on the installed system.

I suspect there is an issue with my video card, a Matrox G450 AGP card. When I run tazx, with the full option I get the response: No devices found. The end of Xorg.log says:

[ 353.842] (II) VESA(1): initializing int10

[ 353.843] (EE) VESA(1): V_BIOS address 0xf630 out of range

[ 353.844]

Fatal server error:

[ 353.844] no screens found

[ 353.844]

When I choose the light version on tazx, I get in Xorg.log:

[ 191.937] (II) Module fbdevhw: vendor="X.Org Foundation"

[ 191.937] compiled for 1.12.4, module version = 0.0.2

[ 191.937] ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 12.1

[ 191.937] (EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory

[ 191.937] Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices.

Configuration failed.

I also have been unable to get X to work using a custom xorg.conf file that worked in another system.

Any help would be appreciated.

Boot the LiveCD and paste its Xorg.0.log . We will probably be able to write an xorg.conf to reflect its contents.

Below is my Xorg.0.log file when I boot from the LiveCD. Note that in this case I was using an nVidia card, with which I had similar problems. When I tried using the nouveau driver from tazx, I got a crash, and the nv driver does not install.

Thanks for your help.
