I suppose “no leave” means not to remove nvidia-detect.

I installed gstreamer1.0-libav and the relevant messages have gone, but still I have “black screen”:

$ totem Stranger-Than-Paradise-1984.mp4

** (totem:2995): WARNING **: Couldn't register with accessibility bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

(totem:2995): Gtk-WARNING **: Drawing a gadget with negative dimensions. Did you forget to allocate a size? (node slider owner GtkScale)

“X -configure” doesn’t seem to have created a xorg.conf (neither a xorg.conf.new) file, although I saw for an instance something like “xorg.conf is now xorg.conf.new”.

I created xorg.conf manually:

$ sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf

$ sudo geany /etc/X11/xorg.conf

I copied xorg.conf.in contents, pasted them into xorg.conf and saved.

I renamed “Card1” to “Card0” and specified the driver. After that, both sections were:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Card0"
    Driver "radeon"
    BoardName "unknown"

But, is it reasonable to have two same Card0 sections?
After rebooting, no GUI was loaded. I ran live and removed again xorg.conf.

Sorry was in a hurry
I should been a little clearer one card0 in Device section and one card0 in the Screen
section. I’m not sure what’s causing the GTK error.

I created xorg.conf (like xorg.conf.in) again and specified only this:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Card0"
    Driver "radeon"
    BoardName "unknown"

After reboot, no GUI was loaded, so I removed xorg.conf and created it again this way:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Card0"
    Driver "ati"
    BoardName "unknown"

No GUI loaded again.

I just ran into same problem and had to rename the xorg.conf file to get gui back.
not sure why it won’t I’ll have to test. I even tried the X -configure one and no
go on mine…it was saved as /root/xorg.conf.new

Hi andfree ,
I ran it on my emachine and this attached xorg file works on nvidia chip with noveau driver, I had to type
in the modules section to load dri not glx before it would load.
I’ll try one later on my ati one with radeon driver.
The emachine is on Antix-17 64bit with sid repo.

The attachment is for testing (as it is) on the first (nvidia) laptop? I don’t find emachine on antiX sid repo. I run 32-bit.

Sorry for ignorance. I thought it as a kind of virtual machine. So, the idea is to test unchanged your attached xorg file to the first (nvidia) laptop? Or should I edit it somehow first?

I posted it as an example of a working one. If you use it, might have to
change the bus id line to match your xorg.conf.in file. I know on your
second one you have to use radeon instead of noveau.

In your attached file, the driver is written as “nouveau”.
In the xorg.conf file I created on the second laptop, I specified the driver as “radeon”. No GUI after reboot.
In addition, I specified the bus id as “PCI:1:0:0” to match my xorg.conf.in file. No GUI again.

I think it might be a different bus id like mine was

BusID “PCI:0:13:0”

I think your output will show a different bus id to put there.

And watching film remains impossible because jerkiness is too much.

I tested with “dri2” instead of “dri” everywhere in the xorg file. No GUI.

“dri2 instead of dri”….should only be dri, but for some reason egl not loading dri.
is libegl1 libegl-mesa0 libdrm2 libdrm-common and libgl1-mesa-dri installed.

there is also a package called driconf to configure dri but I haven’t tried yet.
I think you have to reboot if you have to install the drm ones.
