SAX2 does not work anymore
Hi, I have encountered strange problem with SAX2 utility (on SuSE 9.2). No matter how I configure my monitor (VESA 1024x768 or Mitsubishi Diamond Plus 72) and video card (nv or nvidia driver), X refuse to start with message "No Screens found". I have tried "sax2 -r", but it did not work either. Anyone have a clue what might went wrong? My X86Config generated by sax2/yast attached. BTW, I did not found any eerors here "Monitor" section is present # /.../ # SaX generated X11 config file # Created on: 2005-03-01T11:42:50+0200. # # Version: 4.8 # Contact: Marcus Schaefer <sax@suse.de>, 2002 # # Automatically generated by [ISaX] (4.8) # PLEASE DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE! # Section "Files" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/URW" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/PEX" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin2/misc:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin2/75dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin2/100dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin2/Type1" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin7/75dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/baekmuk:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/japanese:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/kwintv" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/uni:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ucs/misc:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ucs/75dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ucs/100dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/hellas/misc:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/hellas/75dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/hellas/100dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/hellas/Type1" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/sgi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/xtest" FontPath "/opt/kde3/share/fonts" InputDevices "/dev/ttyS0" InputDevices "/dev/ttyS1" InputDevices "/dev/ttyS2" InputDevices "/dev/ttyS3" InputDevices "/dev/ttyS4" InputDevices "/dev/ttyS5" InputDevices "/dev/ttyS6" InputDevices "/dev/ttyS7" InputDevices "/dev/ttyS8" InputDevices "/dev/psaux" InputDevices "/dev/logibm" InputDevices "/dev/sunmouse" InputDevices "/dev/atibm" InputDevices "/dev/amigamouse" InputDevices "/dev/atarimouse" InputDevices "/dev/inportbm" InputDevices "/dev/gpmdata" InputDevices "/dev/mouse" InputDevices "/dev/usbmouse" InputDevices "/dev/adbmouse" InputDevices "/dev/input/mice" InputDevices "/dev/input/event0" InputDevices "/dev/pointer0" InputDevices "/dev/pointer1" InputDevices "/dev/pointer2" InputDevices "/dev/pointer3" EndSection Section "ServerFlags" Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" Option "RandR" "on" EndSection Section "Module" Load "dbe" Load "type1" Load "freetype" Load "extmod" Load "glx" Load "v4l" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "kbd" Identifier "Keyboard[0]" Option "Protocol" "Standard" Option "XkbLayout" "us" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Option "Buttons" "5" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Name" "Logitech Optical USB Mouse" Option "Protocol" "explorerps/2" Option "Vendor" "Sysp" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "Monitor" Option "CalcAlgorithm" "CheckDesktopGeometry" DisplaySize 300 230 HorizSync 30-86 Identifier "Monitor[0]" ModelName "DIAMOND PLUS 72 (TFV-8705)" Option "DPMS" VendorName "MITSUBISHI" VertRefresh 50-130 UseModes "Modes[0]" EndSection Section "Modes" Identifier "Modes[0]" EndSection Section "Screen" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 15 Modes "1024x768" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1024x768" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 32 Modes "1024x768" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1024x768" EndSubSection Device "Device[0]" Identifier "Screen[0]" Monitor "Monitor[0]" EndSection Section "Device" BoardName "GeForce2 MX/MX 400" BusID "1:0:0" Driver "nvidia" Identifier "Device[0]" Screen 0 Option "Rotate" "off" VendorName "NVidia" EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout[all]" InputDevice "Keyboard[0]" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Mouse[1]" "CorePointer" Option "Clone" "off" Option "Xinerama" "off" Screen "Screen[0]" EndSection Section "DRI" Group "video" Mode 0660 EndSection Section "Extensions" EndSection ********************************************* * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski * * Personal Home Page * http://snow.prohosting.com/guru4mac/ * Mac, Linux, DTP, Development, IT WEB Site *********************************************

How about sending the /var/log/XFree86.0.log or /var/log/Xorg.0.log file? Regards, Pieter Hulshoff

Hi Andrei, This is a long shot, but...
My X86Config ^^^^^^^^^ This is a typo, right? It's called 'XF86Config'
Also, there's a second "Modes" section missing from it that normally looks like this (appears after "Monitor" section and before "Screen" section): Section "Modes" Identifier "Modes[0]" Modeline "1152x864" 78.82 1152 1216 1336 1520 864 865 868 894 Modeline "1152x864" 93.90 1152 1224 1344 1536 864 865 868 899 ... <snip> ... Modeline "768x576" 67.79 768 816 896 1024 576 577 580 613 Modeline "768x576" 71.64 768 824 904 1040 576 577 580 615 EndSection Have you checked to see if there's a spare 'XF86Config.saxsave' or 'XF86Config.YaST2save' laying around? This might be useful for troubleshooting / comparison purposes. And as far as getting SaX2 to run, the method I've used that always seems to work is: - "init 3" as root to shut down X - ctl+alt+F7 (sometimes I cycle through all the combinations) to verify that all of X is actually down. It seems I check this sometimes and get switched to a blank screen with a blinking cursor top-left. It doesn't happen often, but when it does I know I'll have trouble with sax. It's like some part of X hasn't shut down gracefully, so when I see this I just reboot first, select run level 3 at boot and /then/ run sax. - Finally try "SxX2 -l"; The lower case 'L' invokes 'low res' mode which is standard 640 x 480 x 16 color @ 60 Hz VGA mode supported by 99.99% of all PC video cards & mainboards w/o needing a separate driver/module. Looks like you've got lots of good ideas concerning the nVidia parts, too. Good luck & regards, - Carl -- ____________________________________________________________________ C. E.

- Finally try "SxX2 -l"... ^^^^ should be "SaX2"
But you knew that already, right? - Carl -- ____________________________________________________________________ C. E.
