I am attempting to get X running on my freshly built Gentoo Linux 2007.0 system. I emerged xorg-x11 using vga and vesa as my driver support for VIDEO_CARDS. Build went fine. Ran Xorg -configure. A new xorg.conf.new file was created in /root. Try running "X -config /root/xorg.conf.new." Fails due to undefined symbol when loading module "xf4bpp". Verified I have all updates per the latest portage. Ran revdep-rebuild, no changes were necessary. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge xorg-x11 2. Xorg -configure 3. X -config /root/xorg.conf.new Actual Results: Will supply Xorg.0.log on request.

Expected Results: Should see the basic X pattern on the screen. I am new to Gentoo and working with X and Window Managers. Attempting to use Fluxbox as my WM. The Fluxbox portage was installed prior to installing X (thought X was installed with it). Hardware is an Intel P4 3.2GHz Dual Core, Intel 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller rev 02.

I had the same problem on the same card. I fixed it by using driver i810 instead of vga.
(In reply to comment #5) > I had the same problem on the same card. > I fixed it by using driver i810 instead of vga. > Well, apparently there is a bug/inconsistency in Xorg in a way it determines drivers. I've noticed the same issue. It is not that using i810 "helps" it rather is that Xorg fails to detect proper video driver (effectively substituting vga with i810 helps of course, so above is true :-)) OK, so what do I already know about this: my instalation is perfect, this root tree boots perfectly from ramdisk, boots with openrc, detects video as i810 and starts Xorg. But I wanted to squashfs this root tree and then I got: X Window System Version 1.3.0 Release Date: 19 April 2007 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 1.3 Build Operating System: UNKNOWN Current Operating System: Linux hacker-is-me 2.6.24-gentoo-r8-term #1 Sat May 17 11:57:26 UTC 2008 i686 Build Date: 17 July 2008 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

Fatal server error: no screens found Ok, but why X when booted from squashfs detects other video card?? (the output now is from Vmware, but this is true for real systems too, instead of vesa you could substitute i810): Section "Device" ### Available Driver options are:- ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False", ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz" ### [arg]: arg optional #Option "ShadowFB" # [<bool>] #Option "KGAUniversal" # [<bool>] Identifier "Card0" Driver "vga" VendorName "VMware Inc" BoardName "[VMware SVGA II] PCI Display Adapter" BusID "PCI:0:15:0" EndSection while it should be: Section "Device" ### Available Driver options are:- ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False", ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz" ### [arg]: arg optionalSection "Device" ### Available Driver options are:- ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False", ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz" ### [arg]: arg optional #Option "ShadowFB" # [<bool>] #Option "DefaultRefresh" # [<bool>] #Option "ModeSetClearScreen" # [<bool>] Identifier "Card0" Driver "vesa" VendorName "VMware Inc" BoardName "[VMware SVGA II] PCI Display Adapter" BusID "PCI:0:15:0" EndSection I resolved this by crafting some wrapper for xorg -config command but it is strange and I also see this as a bug. More information needed?
This bug is still present. I have an NVidia card (old Riva TNT2), in config it's detected successfully, but it tries to use vga driver (not built-in nv nor svga). There is a part of resulting xorg.conf: Section "Device" ### Available Driver options are:- ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False", ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz" ### [arg]: arg optional #Option "ShadowFB" # [<bool>] #Option "KGAUniversal" # [<bool>] Identifier "Card0" Driver "vga" VendorName "nVidia Corporation" BoardName "NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro]" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection
The 'vga' driver is dead. Could any of you test the 'vesa' driver instead? Don't hesitate to reopen this bug if you have issues with that driver. Thanks
I had the same problem in my virtualbox guest system, so I google and find this page. As Rémi Cardona said,I tried "vesa" driver,and it works. so is it! thanks
