DAMN IT, i can't refuse my love for "simplicity" :-) ...so.. i installed CRUX 2.3 again....
An overkill solution, don't you think?
yes. i will never do that again. i want to mention that CRUX is the fastest distro i have ever seen. even Gentoo with "-march=athlon64" flag on does not run as fast as CRUX. 2nd, its ports stype of package management is great. the only thing i am not getting used to is "prt-get". i think i will take some time to get out of my "apt-get" or "emerge" or "pacman" mentality :-(
"startx" and TWM greets me with its 3 terminals, hence i m using Firefox in TWM to write this email and my mouse is working too. Heck, there is no "X11" directory in "/etc/" or "/usr".... this strange phenomenon is just killing me.
I am guessing that xorg has certain defaults it will use if xorg.conf is misconfigured, but what would I know. You could either force xorg to rebuild and hope the correct files are created.
somebody suggested me to use my "xorg.conf" file from Gentoo. so i copied that file to my system and at terminal tried this:
Xorg -config xorg.conf
and i get an error something like this:
"module pcidata not found" "can not load base modules"
Make sure your xorg.conf points to the right paths. Different distributions may have alternative locations for the same stuff. I have no idea about how gentoo has the locations setup because I do not use that distro... Confs are similar, but they will not always work without some changes.
somebody mentioned it and it worked: "xorgcfg -textmode" i only had to change my "Driver" in "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" to "via" -- http://arnuld.blogspot.com/
