Over the past few years, I have tried and failed to figure out how to build the latest version of xserver-xorg-video-openchrome package. Hence, you will have to compile the latest upstream code, and install it somewhere manually.
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/openchrome/xf86-video-openchrome/ If you don't have Git installed already, install it now. $ sudo apt-get install git Setup OpenChrome DDX build dependency. $ sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-openchrome You will clone the OpenChrome DDX repository first. $ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/openchrome/xf86-video- openchrome Move into the OpenChrome DDX directory. $ cd xf86-video-openchrome When compiling the code, you will like to work with 'main' branch rather than 'master' branch. 'master' branch is already deprecated, and should not be used. All the current development happens on 'main' branch. Make sure to switch to 'main' branch before compiling the code. $ git branch main origin/main $ git checkout main When working with the latest upstream code, and I recommend installing it to /opt/xorg. Prepare the compilation script. $ autoreconf -v --install $ ./configure --prefix=/opt/xorg --enable-debug --enable-xv-debug --enable-viaregtool You are free to remove ". . . --enable-debug --enable-xv-debug --enable-viaregtool" portion if you want to. Obviously, '$' and '#' are not literally entered inside the terminal. Compile the code. $ make Install the code. $ sudo make install Before you can use the latest code, you will also need to tell the X Server to search /opt/xorg when starting up the X Server. Courtesy of Radeon developers (https://www.x.org/wiki/radeonBuildHowTo/), insert the following text into a xorg.conf file. Section "Files" ModulePath "/opt/xorg/lib/xorg/modules,/usr/lib/xorg/modules" EndSection You will need to figure out where to insert the xorg.conf file, but at least for recent releases of Ubuntu, I usually put it into /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/. In order to create and / or edit xorg.conf, you will need root privilege. $ sudo nano -w /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/xorg.conf Generally speaking, you do not really need to provide other manual options to the X Server for OpenChrome DDX to function properly. This new installation method preserves the original OpenChrome DDX while allowing the user to bypass the older DDX. If there is newer version of the code, you can pull it into your local repository. $ git pull Repeat the above procedure for generating the compilation script. If you wanted to remove the code, you can simply get rid of /opt/xorg $ sudo rm -R /opt/xorg You can also remove the above 3 lines from your xorg.conf. I hope this solves the issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1897992 Title: No VGA video signal after installing pkg and rebooting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-openchrome/+bug/1897992/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
