This I don't need! Sure hope someone can help. I've avoided a dist-upgrade for a while as last time X would not start until I download drivers from Matrox site.
No such luck this time. Now I have this problem: undefined symbol: MGAGetBOARDHANDLESize http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=345497 But that bug report ends with this: This user was using the proprietary mga_hal driver, which we can't support. Closing this bug, which he's fixed by removing this module. Well, that's not helping. So what's the solution? I removed mga_hal.so and now startx gets the monitor to switch modes and then hangs (so no text mode anymore). The log shows: (EE) MGA: Failed to load module "mga_hal" (module does not exist, 0) (==) MGA(0): Matrox HAL module not loaded - using builtin mode setup instead (ok, that's expected) Then this: drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device or address) drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device or address) drmOpenDevice: Open failed drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device or address) drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device or address) drmOpenDevice: Open failed drmOpenByBusid: Searching for BusID pci:0000:01:00.0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is 8, (OK) drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns 8 drmOpenByBusid: drmGetBusid reports+ drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card1 drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device) drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device) drmOpenDevice: Open failed drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns -1023 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card2 drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device) drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device) drmOpenDevice: Open failed drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns -1023 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card3 drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device) drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device) drmOpenDevice: Open failed [repeats until cart19 and then just stops] By the way, how do I get auth to remotely try and start the xserver? My main display is dead in the water so I'm debugging this via ssh. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ DISPLAY=0.0 startx xauth: creating new authority file /home/moseley/.serverauth.3590 X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting. /usr/X11R6/bin/xinit: Server error. It's not like the G550 is an uncommon or new board. I sure have not enjoyed the move to xorg. There the above problem and it seems to leak memory and when I exit the xserver I never get my console back and would have reboot. -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
