Newbie Install Problem with XFree86 - half screen or none ? [Archive]

X Probs :/

Hiya Everyone

Big time newbie here, trying to make the break from windows to FreeBSD. Our system administrator has ptu me onto it, and I am suitably impressed with the performance and flexibilty however......
My big problem is XFree86. I have been attempting to install a gui scince I started but have run into constant problems. Better give a rundown on the system first I guess
I am trying to install a desktop type situation on a P200 with a 1 gig primary drive with a slave 2 gig HD, intel processor S3 VGA card and sound card I rescued from a P166 destined for the bin (no idea) Sounds dodgey, but I had windows 98 running fine on this box, so I figured FreeBSD should find it a snap. The reason for the 2 gig slave is that my first prob seemed to be space, so I have mounted /usr soley on the slave drive for the extra space, I found that with /, /var and /usr all together on the 2 gig, I had about 1.5 to work with, had hoped the additional 500MB might solve my probs. Nice thought I guess, hey at least I'm attempting to problem solve !
What is happening is that when I install form ports, I run out of room on the compile every time. If I install from scratch (during original installation of FreeBSD), all work great...on half a screen only,(top half) squeezed and distorted, it is unreadable, funny thing is that the mouse, display, all seems to work it is just illegible. I have been trying to get the gui up for about 10 weeksa now with no success, I have tried reorganising the hard drives, swapped the video card with a known good one, tried different monitors (I have the specs right for horizontal and vertical refresh, checked that first). On my last attempt, I tired installing gnome instead of kde ( I have tried blackbox to no avail as well) with an enlightenment window manager, it gave this error on shutdown :-

awk: cmd. line:2 fatal: cannot open file '/usr\X11R6/share/gnome/apps/Settings/Session/.directory' fror reading (No such file or directory)
awk: cmd. line:2 fatal: cannot open file '/usr\X11R6/share/gnome/apps/Settings/Documents/.directory' fror reading (No such file or directory)
Eesh cannot connect to the display nominated by your shell's DISPLAY environment variable. You may set this variable to indicate which display name Enlightenment is to connect to. It may be that you do not have and Xserver already running to serve that Display connectio, or that you do not have permission to connect to that display. Please make sure all is correct before trying again. Run an Xserver by running xdm or startx first, or contact your local system administrator, or Xserver vendor, or read the X, xdm and startx manual pages before proceeding.

I am still along way from dechipering what this may mean, and I have poured over the handbook for hours, as I mentioned earlier, I have been trying config every which way for 10 weeks. I would be very grateful for any help anyone can provide (so would my hair, very little left). If someone has an idea what is going on, and needs more info to help, please be reasonably descriptive, as I said, I come from as total windows environment, which I am trying to correct now. :)

Thank you all
Andy

well if you're running out of space and you've already installed lots of packages first thing to do cd cd /usr/ports and type make clean

Then go back to the X port and try to compile when you compile instead of typing make install type make install clean, this will clean the port and each dependancy once it has installed and will remove all scratch files. Saves lotsa space. If you still don;t have room to compile it'll be time to run /stand/sysinstall and go to post configuration options and install a precompiled package.

Hope that helps. I'm sure others will also have helpful comments. BTW welcome to S.E. Andy! We're glad you stopped by.

I'm impressed, talk about a quick response !

Thanks elmore, trying that now. I don't have heaps installed though, I usually just install bash2 and irssi, and make another attempt at X, unless you are meaning the ports collection, I have been told that it is a good idea to install all of these each time. Whenever I installl from ports I always use make install clean and it is during installation that I seem to run out of space, which dosen't seem to make sense (surely xterm dosen't use 2 gig) , however, thanks for the tip, I am trying the clean now, and will try deinstalling the configured version of X and I will try a reinstall from the ports.
Another thing that is strange with the entire x thing is that every time I have tried to use the /stand/sysinstall full graphical setup tool, it either fails or it configs everything by itself (no choices, I only found out that screen exists by surfing the web trying to solve this prob) and then gives me the half screen prob. I am installing from a downloaded 4.7 which I have burnt to disc (I'll give you a big laugh about trying to install an .iso image sometime) and then using cvsup to upgrade to 4.8 - could that be related to what is going on ? Could I have downloaded a dodgey version ? But I guess then the rest wouldn't work would it.

Thanks heaps, great to be aboard :)

CVS upgrade to 4.8? That could eat up some disk space in /usr alright. Why are doing the install that way? Try an ftp install of 5.0 (search the forum for more on 5.0 vs. 4.x thoughts). Or an ftp install of 4.8 for that matter.

Secondly, sounds like the stock X you're getting from installing via the cd is 99.9999% of the way there. Likely some small misconfig somewhere in the config file like resolution or color depth or refresh etc.

If you don't want to try the ftp install, post your XF86Config file so we can have a look at it!

Hiya Everyone
I haven't been able to check back recently,been abit crook lately, and when I did cd /usr/ports make clean, it took 5 days. Whew, didn't gain any space either, but I'll bet it's very clean. LOL, I have also tried the portupgrade -a, a new screen I haven't seen before came up, a "Ghostscript GNU" screen, new to me, sounds spooky. Followed the defaults through, but still only half screen I must say, very perceptive of you minion, the force is strong with you, we feel it over here in Oz, but I wish to learn BSD and leave the darskside behind. I am sure that you can tell that there is good in me, and although unlearned, willing to take the long and hard path to good.
I have tried (with no success) to revive my wilting XFree86 with Gnome and enlightenment to no avail, here is the config file as requested, hope you can see something in here which is causing all my grief.

I have noticed the error about Speedo, but that looks like a font prob, didn't think it would relate to the half screen prob I'm having, but if I do need to install it, how do I do that, also, how do you get into the sreaming electron chatroom ?

I noticed this in your XF86Config file:
[code:1:a28dc14c65]
Section "Device"
Identifier "S3"
Driver "vga"
# unsupported card
#VideoRam 4096
# Use Option "nolinear" if the server doesn't start up correctly
# (this avoids the linear framebuffer probe). If that fails try
# option "nomemaccess".
#
# Refer to /usr/X11R6/lib/doc/README.S3, and the XF86_S3 man page.
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection
[/code:1:a28dc14c65]

Have you tried adding those options, declaring the amount of Vram, or reading through the mentioned file and man page? The manpage may list tips and tricks for getting the card working. However, the "unsupported card" comment leaves me doubtful it will work.

Also, exactly what kind of S3 card do you have? If you're not sure exactly what video card you have, it should be listed in the output of the command `pciconf -lv`.

Hiya Frisco
Thanks for the tip, hadn't heard of that command before. Kewl stuff. Still being a noob, I am not 100% sure of the card, during the config I have tried several options (S3, Trio64 etc, but they don't seem to give me any different response, I found that generic was the one that usually worked (if worked is the right word, the darn thing is still unusable :/) but at least with that config, I could get up half a screen, I never even thought that the card might not be supported, I have tried two different cards in this machine as well with the exact same results. I would appreciate if you could point me in the right direction, here i sthe outlput from pci.conf -lv

I had suspected the video card myself, and that was why I had changed it originally, but as I mentioned, I still get the same result from every different way I config, even changed the monitors over to see if that made a diff, nogo. I originally got the info about the card at the prompt right at boot up, and out of dmesg. I have tried the S3, Trio 64, Generic and unsupported, all seem to have the same result, could my video RAM setting have something to do with this ? I have tried a reconfig, if all is still bad, I will post the new on later today.

Thank You, Im going crazy over this one and appreciate your help.

Quite a long one, but I am hoping it will provide the answers to my noobiness. I am very much looking forward to seeing a BSD GUI, everything else so far has been great, but I have heard that x is a mongrel to get started, even some real gurus I have spoken to had to spend 2 months on it before they are happy with it. I am getting nowhere fast on the gui stuff and appreciate everyones efforts, I'll be looking for the next posting.
Thanks All

I should pipe in here finally I suppose. I usally ignore all the xf86 configuration programs with FreeBSD 4.x. I like to run 'X -configure' as root or sudo and it creates /root/XF86Config.new. Rename it to XF86Config and move it to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config. I add Default Depth, HorizSync, VertRefresh and my wheel mouse settings and the fire up X.

This works great every time for me and maybe it can help you too.

Hiya All

Thanks Strog, did try that but still the same response. I really do not blame you for avoiding X probs :) If I wasn't so damn stubborn, I would go command line completely by now but once I start something....
I have followed your instructions, and think I have added enough to make it a working config, however the same awful half screen continues to confront me. The question I have is, when I log out of enlightenment, the log that comes up on the screen says "using config file: "etc/X11/XF86Config - should I copy the file to there as well as at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config ? Prolly a silly question, but after reading how easy it is to burn out the line transformer by getting wrong refresh settings, I have become very nervous about GUIs altogether and take "baby steps", still more than willing to have a go ! Looking forward to saying goodbye altogether to M$ and the darkside. I am sure I must be getting close !

Thanks
Andy

PS, I know that to get into the chat room that you need to connect to freenode, but I cannot remember what to put in front of it (thought it was birn.freenode #screamingelectron - but cannot connect to that one) I remember seeing it in here somewhere, but I can't remember where that was. Please help

birn.freenode #screamingelectron - but cannot connect to that one

The server is brin.freenode.net, and the channel is #screamingelectron. You had most of it right :) just a typo.

June 24th, 2003, 11:19

try irc.freenode.net it will usually cycle you through a list of valid servers.
In case brin. is ever down this will get you in.

June 24th, 2003, 20:14

Thanks all, I'll be seeing you in there for sure. Tried the x -configure as you suggested, which does make a XF86Config file, but it gives me no choices and says it has configured a multihead system, I then modified the refresh rates, etc no luck. This sure is a curly one!

Do you have two graphics cards in there? pciconf shows these:
[code:1:f25b7abe17]
none0@pci0:11:0: class=0x030000 card=0x00000000 chip=0x88115333 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'S3 Incorporated'
device = '86C732 Trio32, 86C764 Trio64, 86C765 Trio64V+ Rev 01'
class = display
subclass = VGA
none1@pci0:20:0: class=0x030000 card=0x00000000 chip=0x02001039 rev=0x65 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS)'
device = 'SiS5597/98 Onboard Graphics Controller'
class = display
subclass = VGA
[/code:1:f25b7abe17]

Both those look like video cards to me. Also, one of your startx runs shows this:
[code:1:f25b7abe17]
(II) Primary Device is: PCI 00:0b:00
(--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device
(WW) VGA: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:20:0) found
(--) Chipset generic found
[/code:1:f25b7abe17]

Note the PCI:00:0b:00 and PCI:0:20:0 (00:0b:00 could be same as 00:11:00 if we take one in decimal and one in hex...)

And you mention that X -configure configured for a dualheaded system, which makes sense if it found two video cards.

Googling for "SiS5597/98 XF86Config" reveals this link: http://www.linux-sxs.org/multimedia/sis559798.html
which indicates it's a problematic card. Still, there are some tips to get it working. However, it looks like your system is recognizing the S3 card as being the primary card. I would suggest working with only one card. So, either remove the S3 card and try following the hints on the aforementioned page, or go into your BIOS setings, see if you can disable the onboard video and try configuring the S3.

Hmmmmrrzzzz

Now ya got me. I have the cover off this box mostly as I had messed around with the hard drives abit when I built the box, there is no output for two monitors on the back, and I cannot see any evidence of an onboard video inside either, looked in the BIOS and cannot find anything about two cards anywhere,, could I have made a boo boo in my kernel config ?

frisco

June 24th, 2003, 22:53

I'm no FreeBSD expert so perhaps i've interpreted that output incorrectly or am overlooking something else. Hopefully someone else will be able to verify what that output means. Still, based on what i read, i'd expect to see 2 vga plugs.

psyche101

June 24th, 2003, 23:20

Hiya

Nope, doub;e checked, defintly only one VGA plug. 100% certain. Bummer, I was hoping that was it. :/

sorry I'm coming in late on this, plus I'm drunk so take my advice with a grain of salt right now but have you tried the vesa driver? While it's not specific to your card perhaps a generic vesa driver could temporarlily solve your problems.

psyche101

June 25th, 2003, 00:43

hehehehehehe - funny you should say that, I was just reading elmore is a drunk in ther forum anything goes - don't know if you have it over there but if you like a stout, Coopers Best Extra Stout is nectar of the gods

Considering this darn X prob, no I haven't tried that one, but I'll give it ago soon (Postfix compiling it's butt off right now), I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks

Unf unf, elmore, you are worth more money. I am sure I have tried the VESA driver B4, but I think that was B4 I tried some more modest display settings (winblows user remember :)) M8, all probs solved, chose the VESA driver, startx and look out, you have done what I have struggled with for over 3 months. Drink some more beer, you deserve it :)

Long Live Screaming Electron and the great elmore W0000t
