Hello everyone

apologize in advance, my English is not very good.

I'm building a system using the LFS and BLFS book 7.9
completes construction of Chapter X Window System Environment, but when you start xorg. with startx, I generated the following error.

Code:

estoy construlledon el sistema lfs en una maquina virtual con VirtualBox

It is the first time you build an LFS system. and this is the first problem I face that I could not solve.

I am thankful beforehand with whom I can work together to find the solution.

Can you post your xkb-defaults.conf? If you see the error about it says where the problems is.

Jigsaw · 05-08-2016, 04:27 AM

This is the same error as I have now, I have not found a solution to deal with this.

Jigsaw · 05-09-2016, 12:07 AM

download this driver. compile, install
./configure && $ XORG_CONFIG
Make
make install
https://www.x.org/.../driver/xf86-vi...a-2.3.4.tar.gz
continue in xorg conf use vesa

Nevermind

ReaperX7 · 05-09-2016, 03:57 AM

The VESA driver is a fallback driver.

You probably need to check the Xorg.0.log for missing firmware messages and then install the Linux firmware from the git repo.

Code:

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep firmware

Then, use git to clone the Linux firmware repository, and run make install. Most, if not all, modern AMD graphics require firmware to be loadable.

Code:

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git

Once you've installed the firmware, reboot, and when eudev loads the Radeon driver module, it will load the firmware, and your monitor will be picked up, the EGL stack will load, and you will get accelerated graphics.

I found the whole package solution rebuilding and installing xorg drivers vesa only .

thanks to all.

shevegen · 05-03-2019, 06:05 PM

I had a similar problem; though vesa worked fine for me and compiled.

Eventually I found the culprit being an old xorg.conf file which I then removed
and that solved the issue for me, oddly enough.

Luridis · 05-09-2019, 12:52 AM

I always install xf86-video-fbdev, in addition to whatever hardware driver I have so that X has something generic to fall back on. It will, in fact, complain in the log if you don't do this. (Well, maybe not the log, but you'll see it in stderr if you startx and then exit.)

Edit: Also, why does this thread have 20K+ views? Seems odd...
