new to crux: problem with xorg
Hi everyone. I'm new to crux and it's the first time I install a source based system. I feel actracted by the atmosphere of crux: essential, clean, rich of documentation (I found documentation on frame buffer in /usr/src/linux*/ that isn't so easy to find). Crux people seem to be very expert. I'm not an expert at all, but I like to understand and to do things by myself.. During the installation I had the sensation to not completely control the process, particularly the big set of kernel compilation options. Probably I made a mistake and now I've a problem to start X. When I try to run X with $ startx (as user) or # startx (as root) I get an error and I'm not able to understand it. Now I'm using another pc to have a browser in order to write to you. Here it is the content of /var/log/Xorg.0.log - Can you help me? Thanks ********************************************************* [ 11775.191] X.Org X Server 1.21.1.4 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 [ 11775.192] Current Operating System: Linux asusprove 5.15.55 #1 SMP Sat May 6 21:02:07 UTC 2023 x86_64 [ 11775.192] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.15.55 root=/dev/sda3 ro [ 11775.192] [ 11775.193] Current version of pixman: 0.40.0 [ 11775.193] Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

Hello. attilio semenzato wrote in <CA++=HU2wQpsevHVBw+go=iHStBksMa+JfhB7JkSbB_VXiLgtBA@mail.gmail.com>: You seem to be missing the right graphic card driver, at least. I would recommend downloading a kernel via ArchLinux or Alpine, and boot via that. Then you can see which modules are needed. Then build kernel which has those. (Or simply always such a precompiled set.) Note: the CRUX kmod package does NOT support ZSTD nor any other compression. You first need to build one like for example (i assume this just works since all the packages needed are in core): #?0|kent:$ diff- /usr/ports/core/kmod/Pkgfile /usr/ports/olay-lock/kmod/Pkgfile --- /usr/ports/core/kmod/Pkgfile 2022-07-02 16:48:17.290225367 +0200 +++ /usr/ports/olay-lock/kmod/Pkgfile 2022-09-03 17:10:55.735760208 +0200 @@ -15,7 +15,8 @@ build() { --bindir=/sbin \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --disable-manpages \ - --with-rootlibdir=/lib + --with-rootlibdir=/lib \ + --with-zstd --with-zlib --with-openssl make make DESTDIR=$PKG install --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt) |~~ |..and in spring, hear David Leonard sing.. | |The black bear, The black bear, |blithely holds his own holds himself at leisure |beating it, up and down tossing over his ups and downs with pleasure |~~ |Farewell, dear collar bear

Hello and welcome! Glad you're liking crux. Regarding the Xorg issues, these error (EE) lines are probably the most telling:

This often indicates missing DRI/DRM support in the kernel. I would recommend checking your kernel config for CONFIG_DRM and the appropriate CONFIG_DRM_* options for your GPU driver. If those are missing, add them, recompile the kernel, and give it another try. If you're not sure which kernel options are needed, tell us what kind of GPU you have (lspci | grep -E '3D|VGA') and we can maybe give some hints/answers. Regards, Matt

Based on your lspci output and kernel configuration snippet, I think all you need to do is enable this option and recompile your kernel:
# CONFIG_DRM_I915 is not set
The i915 driver covers quite a few Intel GPUs, including that one. See https://linux-hardware.org/index.php?id=pci:8086-1616-17aa-2226 for some more information. Regards, Matt

It worked! Thanks again. it's been a beautiful experience. Now I have two new questions (if this is the trend, the questions will grow exponentially :) ). 1. When I changed the compilation option CONFIG_DRM_I915 using make menuconfig, I used a search functionality given by the program. In the results of the search the option appeared in a record, and I remember that a field was "prompt". The question is: how are all these options organized and, in particular, what is the meaning of prompt? Is there a way to study the structure and the interdependence of the different options? 2. Now startx starts and I can see xterm windows as I asked in ~/.xinitrc, but I don't see any mouse pointer or, if i3 window manager is called, I see a mouse pointer in the center of the screen but I can't move it with touchpad. Where would I search the reason of this? Another kernel compilation option? Ciao (italian regards) Il giorno mar 23 mag 2023 alle ore 19:30 Matt Housh <jaeger@crux.ninja> ha scritto:

Hey, sorry for the slow response, been very busy lately. Regarding question 1, I believe the meaning of "prompt" is the text with which menuconfig prompts you for a given option. For example, the prompt for CONFIG_DRM is "Prompt: Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support)" which matches the text you see in the menu. As for how they're organized, I couldn't answer that, there's probably a long history of kernel development in that answer. :) Regarding question 2, touchpads can be challenging to get working because there are many different types and interfaces. With that said, the solution here is likely similar to the original issue. That is to say, a kernel option or multiple kernel options is/are missing. Check the outputs of 'lspci' and 'lsusb' to see if there's something that looks like your touchpad there. Then maybe we can figure out which kernel options are needed. Mine, for example, is an "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" as seen by the kernel/syslog and required some weird things I wouldn't have expected like CONFIG_X86_INTEL_LPSS. Hope this helps. Regards, Matt
