Titolo: Xf86Setup

Salve a tutti!
Ho il seguente problema.
Ho installato Red Hat 8.0 e fin quì tutto bene. L'hardware ha superato i
tests vari, ma ......l'interfaccia grafica non mi parte nè automaticamente
ne con "xstart". La guida a cui faccio riferimento consiglia di utilizzare
Xf86Setup, ma io non so neppure cosa sia. La mia scheda video è un po'
vecchiotta (S3Trio 64V2 - DX/GX): è lei il problema? Come posso risolvere i
miei problemi?
Grazie a tutti per la disponibilità!

 miei problemi?
Provando...

> digita xf86config!!!
Ho digitato xf86config da /etc/X11 e mi č apparsa una serie di schermate
testuali che mi chiedevano varie cose su mouse, monitor, scheda video, ecc.
L'unica configurazione che mi fa partire qualcosa č:
freq. orizzontale: 30-50
freq. vert. 50-90
RAM della scheda video 2 Mb
Colori 256
Ma quando lancio startx, mi appaiono delle icone gigantesche (il cappello
rosso occupa mezzo schermo): come devo fare ora?
Grazie

potresti editare a mano il file XF86 config (o XF86config-4) e cercare la
parte relativa alla risoluzione e sostituirla con una cosa tip questa:
   Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Device          "Generic Video Card"
        Monitor         "Generic Monitor"
        DefaultDepth    24
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           1
                Modes           "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           4
                Modes           "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           8
                Modes           "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           15
                Modes           "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           16
                Modes           "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

        EndSubSection
questo l'ho preso direttamente dal mio XF86config-4
ps: prima di fare queste prova backuppati il file vecchio per non far
troppi casini
ciao

Se da root lanci XF86Setup che dice? Puoi usare anche xf86config,
scriptino in modalita' testo. La trio dovrebbe andare senza problemi col
driver s3, ma se e' molto vecchiotta (3-4 anni) potrebbe essere
necessario usare XFree 3.3.x (per la mia Creative Blaster Exxtreme ho
dovuto fare cosi').

Ho fatte le cose consigliatemi, ma niente. In fase di installazione testuale
viene riconosciuto benissimo il mio monitor (flatron 775FT, con le sue vere
freq. orizz. e verticali). Ho lanciato xf86config ed ho lasciato tutto come
sta, fuorchè il numero di colori: 256 è l'unica impostazione che mi fa
partire startx, per il resto solo messaggi di errore. Ma quando imposto a
256 i colori, non pensiate che mi parta una normale interfaccia grafica:
parte una grafica scadentissima che occupa solo la metà inferiore dell'area
schermo e che è occupata da icone in formato gigante di linix (il cappelo
rosso, l'icona del browser, ecc). Sono tre giorni e tre notti che tento e
ritento: per favore, ditemi che diamine devo fare!
Grazie

 Grazie
soluzioni:
riconfiguri all'ossesso xfree
provi un altro xserver(ad esempio xserver-svga, ma ne esistono molti altri)
se c'hai una knoppix a portata di mano dai un'occhiata a cosa ti ci
combina sopra (il suo HW detection automatico è stupefacente)
good luck

Io sono alle prime armi con Linux e non conosco ancora moltissimi dei suoi
comandi. Voglio provare a modificare manualmente il file xf86config (quello
che lancio in /etc/X11 per la configurazione di X), ma non so come fare. Ho
provato con vi, ma è un casino. Inoltre non so bene cosa e dove scriverlo.
Ho però avuto un idea: ditemi se è fattibile! Potrei inviare a qualcuno di
buona volontà i miei due file:
xf86config
e
x-----------.log (non ricordo come si chiama quel file di log a cui mi
rimanda la videata di errore che appare quando lancio startx.
In questo modo potreste aiutarmi meglio a capire qual è l'errore. Oppure
potrei pubblicare con una news il contenuto dei due files di testo, ma
dovreste perà dirmi almeno come fare per spostare (in Linux) i file in
questione nella partizione DOS in cui ho Win98. Non dispongo ancora infatti
di una connessione internet sotti linux e posso usare internet solo sotto
win: come faccio a copiare i files in questione in c:\windows\desktop ad
esempio? Posso poi con un editor di win aprire i files in questione e
copiarne il contenuto nel corpo di una mail?
Grazie tante per la estrema pazienza: siete gentilissimi.

 questione nella partizione DOS in cui ho Win98.
sicuro che non sai montare partizioni win sennò non l'avresti chiesto,
allora:
da root:
mkdir /mnt/win
mount -t vfat /dev/blabla /mnt/win  (dove /dev/blabla è la partizione di
win che puoi vedere ad es con cfdisk 	MA ATTENTO ESCI SENZA FARE NIENTE DA
CFDISK!!) cmq sarà tipo /dev/hda1 o /dev/hda2
a questo punto sotto /mnt/win hai la partizione di win98 e ci navighi
tranquillo 
ci copi i file rebooti (sigh!)
li apri con notepad
ps: la storia di montare la puoi far fare in automatico all'avvio editando
/etc/fstab
pps: quando il config ti fa mille domande te abiliti framebuffer? nel caso
fai  una prova senza
ppps:sono certo che quello che ti ho detto sta nelle faq, magari una letta
dagliela
ciao
senza

 allora:
Ok, grazie, seguirò le tue istruzioni! In realtà ho letto molto sul
partizionamento del disco ed ho imparato a farlo prorpio anche con cfdisk.
Il punto è che non trovo la guida a linux che avevo studiato prima di
installare red hat e da cui avevo appreso i comandi per montare le
partizioni!
A presto

Devi editare a mano il file "/etc/X11/XF86config", non c'è altra
soluzione. Però prima devi imparare a usare un editor di testo da linea
di comando. Lancia "vimtutor" e impara a usare "vim". Poi modifica il
file, se ti serve ancoraaiuto puoi anche scrivermi.

Questo messaggio contiene i due file di testo XFree86.0 e XF86Config:
perdonatemi se li propongo entrambi e per di più in versione integrale!
Grazie per l'attenzione.

 file, se ti serve ancoraaiuto puoi anche scrivermi.
Grazie per la disponibilità, Massimiliano. Purtroppo non sono ancora molto
pratico: sicuramente si impara molto affrontando i problemi di
configurazione, ma avrei preferito installare prima per bene il mio Red Hat
e poi cominciare ad esplorarlo con calma. In oogni modo in questo stesso
thread ho postato un messaggio molto lungo in cui ho incollato xf86config:
magari dagli un occhiata. Perchè io posso anche imparare ad usare "vim", ma
che ci scrivo nel file di configurazione perchè non mi dia più problemi?
Grazie

e quindi il video abbia dimensioni 'enormi'
In sintesi per riuscire ad avviare la grafica in modo almeno decente sembra
solo una questione di impostazioni (o ti documenti o trovi qualche amico un
pochino più esperto (e in 'locale')).
L'unico suggerimento è quello di usare almeno inizialmente una svga con
almeno 2Mb di ram e che quello che conta sono i messaggi di X.....log e non
quello che sei convinto di aver impostato.
