X Server Warnings

Hi, I get the following warning messages in my Xorg.0.log

[    15.803] (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/misc/" does not exist.

[    15.832] (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/OTF/" does not exist.

[    15.832] (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/Type1/" does not exist.

[    15.832] (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/" does not exist.

[    15.832] (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/" does not exist.

[    15.833] (WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)

[    16.071] (WW) R128(0): Can't determine panel dimensions, and none specified.

[    17.520] (WW) R128(0): Direct rendering disabled

Obviously the non existent directory messages relate to 20-Files.conf definitions.

1. Where can I find these files so that I can manually enter them in the 20-Files.conf file or should the conf file contain something else?

2.The last two messages relate to a problem I raised earlier - see http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/monitor-not-recognized. With this issue, it appears that the OS correctly identifies the DFP and its parameters as follows.

[    16.071] (II) R128(0): Primary Display == Type 3

[    17.261] (II) R128(0): Analog Display Input,  Input Voltage Level: 0.700/0.700 V

[    17.261] (II) R128(0): DPMS capabilities: StandBy Suspend Off; RGB/Color Display

[    17.261] (II) R128(0): Manufacturer: DEL  Model: e000  Serial#: 809710928

[    17.262] (II) R128(0): Mo[    17.261] (II) R128(0): Manufacturer: DEL  Model: e000  Serial#: 809710928

[    17.262] (II) R128(0): Monitor name: DELL 1800FP

[    17.262] (II) R128(0): EDID vendor "DEL", prod id 57344nitor name: DELL 1800FP

[    17.262] (II) R128(0): EDID vendor "DEL", prod id 57344

[    17.276] (**) R128(0): Display dimensions: (360, 290) mm

However, even if I specify the panel dimensions as given by Dell nothing changes.

So, although r128 recognizes the DFP it appears this information somehow gets lost later on.

Any ideas on these two issues are greatly appreciated.

Re: X Server Warnings

After trying various things without success, I decided to copy the /usr/share/fonts directory from another machine running PCLinuxOS into the one running Slitaz Cooking. That fixed the warning messages with regards to font files.

The question is how come my system did not get the font files installed in the first place?

With regards to the R128 DFP not found message I did a lot of research and found out that many others have encountered issues with the R128 driver. As a desparate measure, I removed the R128 card and installed another ATI Radeon 9500 card and now the only warning is Direct Rendering Disabled message.

I would appreciate if someone could explain why the font files went missing in my system. Is it a problem with the installation of the xorg?

Thanks

Re: X Server Warnings

not... you not lost fonts at all... becouse your xorg.0.log not explain the automatically switching process to another xorg-font system in /usr/share/fonts/X11, because when xorg-server starting up first prosess, the xorg-server look to configuration files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d, becouse of that xorg-server indicating error prosess and try searching alternatively and found in /usr/share/fonts/X11 with automatically switching

process in the background. And if you look in /usr/share/fonts/X11 that is the All in One fonts is currently using by xorg-server. Do not change any thing in 20-Files.conf files, all is safe.

Re: X Server Warnings

OK, since I swapped the Rage 128 to a Radeon 7500 (and changed the driver to radeon), all my Xorg errors are gone but I still have direct rendering disabled. When I run glxinfo I get the following

tux@CRUZO:~$ glxinfo

name of display: :0.0

Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig

Any ideas?

Re: X Server Warnings

Finally got the glxgears working! However, I do not know which action exactly fixed it but I did the following.

1. ran tazx and configured the ati driver

2. reinstalled mesa-dri-ati

3. reboot the PC

Re: X Server Warnings

Just some interesting findings....

When I got glxgears going the frame reported was always around 60 fps. However, when I set the modeset value to 0 in /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf file and rebooted the glxgears frame rate went up to 660 fps. I have noted elsewhere and in this forum that glxgears fps should not be taken as a benchmark for performance but thought of sharing this info with others.
