Okay, I give. I'm having a problem with configuring xorg.
I *do* have a basic configuration, but can't run some applications in
full screen mode and I surmise this is because something isn't set
properly in xorg.conf I ran Xorg -configure and it did give me a basic
configuration, but the file is nothing like I am used to from before I
had to rebuild my system and I can't find an xorg.conf.example file - I
don't know if I accidentally deleted it or not.
In particular, this is the stuff that I don't understand and without the
xorg.conf.example file, I have no means of reference.

I also tried using xorgcfg, but I didn't even get a working
configuration with that and I *do* know my monitor settings.
Also, the man page for xorg.config isn't any help cause it doesn't
mention any of the stuff like "viewport" that I could see.
I've re-emerged xorg-x11 hoping to get the xorg.conf.example file back,
but that didn't work.
So, if any of you kind people can lead me by the nose here and/or let me
know how to get the xorg.conf file back I would appreciate it.
The frustrating part here is the before I screwed up my system, I had
everything related to x working just fine.
I don't know if it will make any difference to you, but my max monitor
resolution is 1280 X 1024. Horizontal sync is 30 - 81 KHz. Vertical is
56 - 75 Hz.

Colleen

For those on the list, I emailed him a copy of the example file
directly. That way it wouldn't be cluttering up the list.
Since I have a nvidia card, mine may not help or I would have sent it too.

Hi folks,
> I can't find an xorg.conf.example file
I just finished installing X window server.
# X -config /root/xorg.conf.new
created a working xorg.conf for me. I don't need xorg.conf.example.
Then;
# cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
That is all. Some minor adjustment has to be made, in particular, the
mouse, "InputDevice" section.
I followed the document;
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml
of course, not 100% copying its content. I have to make some minor
change for my case.

I recall having to work a bit to get it to see my mouse too. X will not
start without the little rat being found.
Mine is:
> Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
If that helps any. It usually will try /dev/mouse. If you use udev and
have it set to not tarball /dev, then adding a link will not work either.
Hope that helps and/or makes sense.

The above line works for me too. OR "/dev/input/mice" also works here.
On the document mentioned by me previously, Code Listing 4.2 and 4.4
did not work for me. Actually the file "xorg.conf.new" generated was
almost 100% working here, except the mouse, which needed ajustment as
mentoned.

X will *always* fail to correctly detect my mice on most of the boxen that I
have configured so far.
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" will invariably give me a working X and
then use man xorg.conf to finely tune my X setup.
I don't think that an xorg.conf.example is necessary - for a change, I have
found man xorg.conf to be very well written and self explanatory.

For me, Xorg -configure had always produced a more or less usable config
file (apart from "dev/input/mice -- see other posts). Normally X sould
also be able to detect your monitor settings automatically ... if not,
something like (adapted to your monitor)
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "IVM"
ModelName "1920"
HorizSync 30 - 96
VertRefresh 50 - 180
DisplaySize 366 274
EndSection
should help.

Matthias

Frankly, i don't really know what your problem with xorg is exactly ...
if you can provide some details, it would be easier to help !

Thanks to all who have replied, but my problem *is not* with my mouse.
I went through that issue the very first time I installed Gentoo and
know that I have to change it to /dev/psaux.
I can boot into kde. However ...
1) I can't view some things in full screen. For instance, I play the
game Blobwars and if I try to set it to use full screen mode, the game
shows in the middle of the screen, the same size as it was when it was
in a "window" before "full screen mode is selected". The rest of the
screen is black.
2) I want to get 3 D accelleration working. Before my screw up, I was
using ati-drivers and everything was fine. When xorg 7 came out, I
removed the previous instance of xorg and reinstalled, but I kept the
previous xorg.conf file.
However, now (because of *my* screwup), I had to install fresh. So I
got everything up and running and then tried to install ati-drivers.
the installation is successful. Then, I run 'aticonfig --initial
--input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf', which uses the original xorg.conf file.
Again kde starts up, lets me log in, goes through it's routine of
initiallizing the peripherals and then, when the window that gives the
kde tip appears, it is garbled and my system freezes.
These are the reasons that I think some setting is wrong. Before xorg
7, when I ran xorg -configure, I got prompeted to enter my horizontal
and vertical sync and the resolutions I wanted to use and they were put
into the xorg.conf file. Now I get no prompt.
Also some setting has to be wrong somewhere because if I use I go into
Control panel under peripherals and display, I can't set anything - I
does detect my default resolution of 1280x1024, but the Refresh Rate
shows as -19557 Hz.
I've gone through all the replies in this thread, but no where is there
a one to one example of what I am seeing in xorg.conf.
I've tried following the X Server Configuration HOW-TO, but no where in
that is there something that corresponds to this:
SubSection "Display"
> Viewport 0 0
> Depth 24
> EndSubSection
I understand what the 24 means, but what is Viewport? I tried setting
this to 1280 1024, which is my max monitor resolution, but it doesn't
have any affect.
Regards,
Colleen

This optional entry sets the upper left corner of the initial
display. This is only relevant when the virtual screen
resolution is different from the resolution of the initial video
mode. If this entry is not given, then the initial display will
be centered in the virtual display area.

As root:
$ emerge -av app-admin/eselect-opengl --noreplace
$ eselect opengl list
and then try switching to ati opengl libs if it gives you the choice?
$ eselect opengl set ati/radeon/etc
This is where I usually screw up with nVidia - but - who knows!
If you want to have your monitor's modelines scanned, as well as the
Horiz/Vert modes scanned, you can also:
$ emerge -av ddcxinfo-knoppix
I've found this tool invaluable when trying to scan the proper modes for
my monitor. 99% of the time, this tool does the trick for me. You simply
run it as such:
$ ddcxinfo-knoppix # This will show you how it works.
Then you might try something like:
$ ddcxinfo-knoppix -firstmode 1024x768 -modelines -monitor -modes \
>> /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Then edit your xorg.conf as you see fit - taking care to remember that
the above tool will add it's own "Monitor" section, so you may want to
comment out the original.
These are some tricks that work for me, but as always - YMMV!
Good luck with Xorg, that many tentacled beast that it is.

Sorry, I only mentioned the mouse because it has been a regular xorg problem
for me. A couple of years ago I was also using /dev/psaux, but moved on
to /dev/input/mice/ since and also changed the kernel config accordingly.

Viewport refers to your virtual screen which is larger than the physical
monitor screen. Placing the cursor at the edge of the monitors scrolls the
screen in that direction, until the edge of the virtual screen is reached.
Useful in small monitors.
As far as know there is no section "Display" in xorg.conf. I think you need
to change that to Section "Screen". Here's relevant extracts of mine for
your perusal.
This is part of my xorg.conf in case it helps:
=======================================
Section "Monitor"
DisplaySize 336 269 # 96 DPI @ 1280x1024

SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0

EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
=======================================
If this doesn't fix it can you ssh into the machine to check what does
the /var/log/Xorg.0.conf show after the crash?
HTH.

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like I was lashing out. Like you, I had a
terrible time with my mouse the first time I installed Gentoo and now I
now how to get over *that* hurdle. :-)

Ok. Thanks for the explanation. I now know that this doesn't apply to
me - my monitor is 19" and I have no need to configure it larger that
physical size.

Well, obviously, I'm going to have to change this to something that
corresponds to my monitor. I'm a bit frustrated because running Xorg
-configure used to give me a working configuration with the Monitor and
Screen sections completed. I don't know what happened since going to
modular X
Anyway, I'm not sure that I understand some of the above - like
DisplaySize 336 269 ... what is this? centimeters? and how do I know
that the resolution is 96 DPI?
I think I remember seeing something that explains the "Modeline" line.
I'll see if I can find it and figure that one out.
Thanks for the response.
Take care,
Colleen

You can omit the "Viewport" setting.

Well, there *is* a "Display" subsection. xorg.conf(5x) seems to agree.

There are now sane defaults (they were there before Xorg 7.1...)

You should consider reading "man xorg.conf" for fast answers to such
basic questions: "This optional entry gives the width and height, in
millimetres, of the picture area of the monitor."
The resolution is calculated automatically based on that setting and
the mode in use. Mick just wrote it as a comment right after the actual
setting. Comments are introduced with "#" -- e.g. all those commented
out settings you have quoted in your xorg.conf's "device" section.
> I think I remember seeing something that explains the "Modeline" line.
Well, that would be the mentioned man page, too. But note that there
are a lot of VESA modes built-in, so probably you don't need a modeline
(start trying without). I think Mick could have omitted that, too. On
CRTs (opposite to LCDs), it may make sense, though: Using a modeline
you can max out the refresh ratio of the monitor.

Are you using an LCD monitor? It may be one of its internal settings.

Maybe you need commercial drivers for that:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ATI_Drivers
But you already did install them:

That's the downside of closed source drivers. You might, however, be
able to use the open source ones: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ati-faq.xml
There's also information at installing ati-drivers: you might have to
change your kernel's configuration before installing it.
The screen garbling is an indicator of major brokenness (the freeze
alone could have other reasons, but this isn't going to be easy to fix).

They can be read via DDC. Xorg does this by default (e.g. no
xorg.conf), and I think X -configure is just like that, with the
exception that it outputs the detected configuration.

don't know about this one. Maybe that control panel application needs
xdpyinfo? That's a separate package now... But this is to KDE specific
for me...

Hm? Other than that you have lots of commented out entries, it just
looks like what probably anyone else has, too.

Yep, that has been explained now. In fact, you can omit the "Display"
section. OTOH, you can use it to have the configuration setting
"Modes", in which you can specify valid modes for that monitor.
The viewport setting does play a role when using CTRL-ALT-<keypad +>
and -<keypad -> or other means to change to different screen
geometries.
Note that the ati driver documentation mentions that the only
reasonable depth setting is 24 (bit).

[SNIP]
Hey,
just for the record. IMHO it is a lot easier to set the DPI per
~/.Xdefaults with 'Xft.dpi: 96'. Or by starting the X Server with
'-dpi 96'. Especially when you want to try some specific DPI value.

Please ignore that line (I should have deleted it...) The measurements are in
millimeters and invariably needed on a CRT monitor. I have both a CRT and a
TFT monitor so mine is a bit more complex than what you need. I take it that
you are using a TFT monitor, in which case leave these measurements out for
now. The reason I have these in mine is because for some weird reason my TFT
monitor was getting an odd DPI which made the fonts look blurred on/off
across the screen - enough to give me a nasty headache 5 minutes later. (If
you need to find out what the DPI is on your monitor run xdpyinfo). Just for
info, these measurements are either obtained from your monitor's manual, or
by using a tape measure across your screen.
> I think I remember seeing something that explains the "Modeline" line.
> I'll see if I can find it and figure that one out.
This as well as many more settings are explained in man xorg.conf (spend some
time searching through the different sections, the required settings are well
documented). You probably wouldn't need the modeline on a TFT monitor - at
least not until you get X spot on. Then you can read it off xvidtune. Tell
me, under monitor have you set the Option "DDCMode" "True"? The X server
should then probe your monitor and use the settings it returns.
PS. Look at you /var/log/Xorg.0.log after you startX and you'll see a long
list of modelines some of which will have an asterisk at the beginning -
these are the resolutions that your monitor is happy with. Choose one of
them if you really want to add a modeline in your xorg.conf. Hopefully
Option "DDCMode" should do the trick.
HTH, otherwise please post back.

Cool! I didn't know .Xdefaults trick.
Thanks! :)

Something here finally clicked! Believe me, I am going to do a print
out of the xorg.conf file for future reference - at least until the next
time it is revamped to totally confuse me.
Anyway, I can finally view things properly in full screen mode and
Control Center-->Peripherals-->Display, now shows a proper refresh rate
and gives me options for resolution.
I still haven't got 3D acceleration working, but hey! one hurdle at a
time. I'm going to try using x11-drm as opposed to the proprietary ati
drivers.
Thanks again!
Take care,
Colleen

Hi Guys,
Well, finally! Thanks, again, to everyone who assisted with this
problem yesterday. As previously stated, I finally got an xorg.conf
file that worked and would allow me to use full screen mode for some of
the games that I play.
However, as of my last post yesterday, I still didn't have 3D
Acceleration working. What can I say? Sometimes, I'm a creature of
habit and since I am used to ati-drivers, I tried installing that. The
driver installed fine, but no matter what I did, I couldn't get direct
rendering to work and whenever, I logged into KDE, the K Tip of the Day
would not display and my system froze.
Finally, today I trusted what I should have trusted in the first place -
the open source x11-drm package. Only problem here is that the stable
ebuild would not build so I had to unmask the unstable package.
The end result was all good though - I have 3D Acceleration working
*and* with open source drivers, so, I'm happy.
Now on to some actual productive work! :-)
Take care.
Colleen
