Subject: [gentoo-dev] gdm-2.6.0.3, XOrg/Gnome problems with Xkb Options and Xorg/xfs problem
X-Archives-Salt: 0b30232b-62e0-451f-b96e-934db38e6ebb

Hi Folks-
Any particular reason why gdm-2.6.0.3 (latest) is not in portage? I see
that gnome 2.6 has been in portage for awhile now, and I have 2.6.1_rc1
installed, but the latest gdm ebuild in portage is still 2.4.4.7-r1.
I just renamed my 2.4.4.7-r1 gdm ebuild in portage, put it in my overlay
dir, renamed the selinux patch in files/ and wala, got a nice 2.6 gdm
(which apparently has many new features over 2.4, though I haven't
explored them at all yet).
While I'm asking about gdm, can anyone comment on these XOrg/Gnome
problems I'm having (recently posted to gentoo-user but which elicited
no replies)?
I recently upgraded from xfree-4.3.0-r5 to xorg-x11-6.7.0-r1 and am
having some problems. I've read the related posts in gentoo-user and
gentoo-dev and in the forums, but don't see solutions to these issues
being reported by anyone (though someone else in gentoo-user reported
the same Xkb problem).
One of my problems is apparently with the XKB options in the DeviceInput
section of xorg.conf, but it only seems to show up when starting gnome
and then only when I login in to gdm as root.
I'm running this on an HP/compaq nx9010 laptop computer and I used the
xorg.conf file found here
http://www.freax.be/files/rh9_nx9010/fedora_-_xorg.conf as a base for
my own. I made some modifications to it based on the xorg docs I've
read.
The hardware in this laptop is as follows:
P4 2.4GHz
512MB RAM
Bus1, Device5, Function0: ATI Radeon IGP 340M (rev 0)
I'm using the radeon driver that is included in the XOrg package because
it's the only one that seems to give me a functional X display at all.
I do have ati-drivers and ati-drivers-extra installed, but when I use
the "fglrx" driver from ati-drivers in my xorg.conf file, X refuses to
start at all. The server reports no devices found so I guess the fglrx
driver does not support the Radeon IGP 340M, but isn't that driver from
ATI? I tried the opengl-update ati command after putting fglrx in the
Driver parameters of xorg.conf and before starting xdm (gdm), but no
help there either.
The man 4 radeon page shows 2D-only support for this card/chip with this
driver. I'd like to have 3D support, but as I said, fglrx won't start
up X.
Using the radeon driver, when I start X with XSESSION in make.conf set
to Gnome (logging into gdm as root), I get a dialog that says:
===============
Error activating XKB configuration.
Probably internal X server problem.
X server version data:
Gentoo Linux (The X.Org Foundation 6.7.0, revision r1-1.1)
60700000
If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
-The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
-The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb
===============
I've pasted the output of these commands here:
===============
_XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "us", "", ""
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "us", "", ""
===============
===============
layouts = [us]
model = pc105
overrideSettings = false
options = []
===============
I don't get this when I log in as a normal user. Anyone know how to fix
this or is it something I should even be concerned about (probably won't
login to gdm as root very often---but are there other hidden
consequences?)?
I don't get this when I login using kdm to start kde or when I use
startx/.xinitrc to start enlightenment or fvwm or twm. I'm using all
of the latest packages (xorg-x11-6.7.0-r1, kde-3.2.3, gnome-2.6.1_rc1,
fvwm-2.5.10-r5, enlightenment-0.16.7_pre4).
I've followed the guidance at
http://freedesktop.org/~xorg/X11R6.7.0/doc/XKB-Config.html, but can't
seem to resolve this problem with any clues there. In fact, I think my
xorg.conf file has the exact same options they describe using there
(except pc105).
Below, I've included my xorg.conf file in case it helps someone figure
out what's going on here. I initially had "xfree" in the XkbRules
Option parameter and that gave the same results.

===================
I'm also having difficulty getting X to work with the X Font Server
using unix sockets (thus the tcp port mentioned above). The xorg.conf
man page states:
==================
FontPath "path"
sets the search path for fonts. This path is a comma separated
list of font path elements which the Xorg server searches for
font databases. Multiple FontPath entries may be specified, and
they will be concatenated to build up the fontpath used by the
server. Font path elements may be either absolute directory
paths, or a font server identifier. Font server identifiers
have the form:
<trans>/<hostname>:<port-number>
where <trans> is the transport type to use to connect to the
font server (e.g., 1 for UNIX-domain sockets or tcp for a TCP/IP
connection), <hostname> is the hostname of the machine running
the font server, and <port-number> is the port number that the
font server is listening on (usually 7100).
==================
But I couldn't get X to start using either "1" or "unix" (older syntax?)
in the place of <trans> above in any combination. Does the hostname
need to be present with unix sockets? What about the port number? I
tried with and without hostname/port to no avail.
Can anyone point out any mistakes in my configs here? Or perhaps offer
suggestions on solutions? I'd be glad to follow up with
my /var/log/Xorg.0.log file with various parameters changed if it would
help.
TIA.
-Kevin
