Description Török Edwin 2008-08-27 07:51:14 UTC
X won't start when I try install gentoo in qemu.
(II) LoadModule: "cirrus"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module cirrus
(II) LoadModule "glx"
(II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so
dlopen: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf manually, and change cirrus to vesa, and remove the glx line. X now starts up and can run the installer.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. kvm-img create -f qcow2 gentoo.img 20G
2. kvm -hda gentoo.img -cdrom ~/Desktop/livecd-amd64-installer-2008.0-r1.iso -smp 4 -m 2048


Actual Results:  
X won't start and the Xorg.log is shown

Expected Results:  
X starts

This works with 10.1, time to close?
