Member Registered: 2008-10-18 Posts: 142 "error setting MTRR", can't get X to start I have a Sony Vaio VGN-C140G that I can't get X to start on. Have been using the Wiki for xorg.conf setup. No problems to speak of in Xorg.0.log. After "startx" the screen

flashes like it always does going into X, then at the last second it drops error setting mtrr ubuntu back to the console prompt with the message "waiting for X server to shut down error setting MTRR (base = 0xb0000000, size=0x007b0000, type = waiting for xserver to shut down error setting mtrr invalid argument 22 1) Invalid argument (22)".Dmesg shows several "conflicting memory types b0000000-c0000000 write-combining<->uncached-minus" messagesIf I pre-load /dev/mtrr I do not get the "error setting MTRR (base = 0xb0000000, size=0x007b0000, type = 1) Invalid argument (22)" message but still get X

shutting down and still get the stuff in dmesg.I googled around and it appears there is some bad interaction between this 2.6.28 (and .27) kernel, X (and drm), and the way mtrr is handled. I even tried just the simple vesa and still got the error. I guess there is no fix.The weird thing is, earlier in the day I was able to launch X. I kept rebooting it while working on xorg.conf, and from some point it

failed, never to work again.This machine also works with Puppy Linux 4.1.2 using xorg. The kernel is 2.6.25 however, which according to my searches is before this problem turned up.The chipset is an Intel 945GM. The last messages in the xorg log are[drm] removed 1 reserved context for kernel [drm] unmapping 8192 bytes of SAREA 0xf8039000 at 0xb7ab8000 [drm] Closed DRM master.This is more a heads-up than anything. I'm guessing there's not a fix until a better kernel comes out. Back to Puppy for now...

I'm turning up a lot of HAL stuff. Did you have hal in your DAEMONS list in rc.conf?

This is just the latest iteration of xorg.conf files I have tried, of which none work since yesterday morning. The references to Puppy are because I started with the Puppy xorg.conf and then modified it. Oh, I also tried those xorg.conf generators but wasn't getting anywhere so I went the Puppy route. See next post for a later version.# ********************************************************************** # Modu
a new ubuntu box to act as a home web server and I believe I messed something up. I'm a semi-newbie and I'm not sure how to explain the problem, so I'll simply say what I wanted to do, what I did and the result. error setting mtrr (base = 0xfc000000, size = 0x00100000, type = 1) invalid argument (22) What I wanted to do: Have the ability to telnet into this machine and start xwindows

so I can later vnc into it when I wished. Basically the only thing I wanted to do is startx so it would use ec2 ubuntu desktop the machine's physical display, keyboard, mouse, ect and allow me to connect via vnc later if I wanted it to. What I did: I telneted in from a windows machine and attempted startx (I knew this would most likely try https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=68093 to use my windows machine as the display and would kick out an error, but I figured it was worth a shot. I then tried startx &. No luck there either. I then tried sudo startx. I think that's where I screwed something up. Result: Now, not only does it not work, but if I attempt to startx on the machine normally I get a blank screen. I understand that I most likely somehow set the display incorrectly but I https://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1718186.html have no idea how to fix this. Can I get some help with both fixing my screwup and getting things to work as I originally wanted? KrytarikMarch 31st, 2011, 05:54 AMResult: Now, not only does it not work, but if I attempt to startx on the machine normally I get a blank screen. Check "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for error messages. Also, why don't you simply set it up to run startx at startup? This way you wouldn't have to find a way to launch it through the remote machine. GhosthavenMarch 31st, 2011, 06:16 AMI want to run it without a gui most of the time to conserve resources but I want to be able to vnc into x when I want to as well. As far as the log file... its pretty much all greek to me. I'm attaching it here so hopefully one of you gurus can help me figure out whats wrong. (added the .doc extension so I could upload it) I really don't want to have to wipe the drive and start from scratch. :( KrytarikMarch 31st, 2011, 06:53 AMI figured you have Maverick 10.10 installed, right? 1.) There is an error message (although not stated as such) that a video driver library file is missing. 2.) The xserver apparently thinks all is well, but in fact nothing gets displayed. Conclusion: It seems to an issue with the video driver (nouveau), and not related to the

Okay, I have a dual boot os, Win7 and Backtrack 5 R2 I was on BT5 and was having trouble trying to run a upgrade. I finally realized that some of my sources.list was blocked, so I unblocked all the sources and the upgrade was running fine until it suddenly froze at about 90% completed and shutdown my laptop for no reason, and I had my charger in with the power cord plugged in, so I know it wasn't a battery issue or a self executed shutdown command of any sort. To make a very long, depressing, and sad story short, I tried to boot back into backtrack only to find out it wasn't going to happen. I wish I could bring the error logs into here, but I have to boot up into Win7 (sad face) just to post this issue and get help. I have a splash screen set up that will automatically run startx as well, after a credential login is made via the CLI - command line interface. I log into my account, and it boots into up my spash screen and half way through brings me back to the Cli again with a Xserver Error, similar to this: "Waiting for X Server to shut down Error setting MTRR (base 0xc0000000, size = 0x0000000, type = 1) inappropriate ioctl for device (25) ddxSigGiveUp: closing log" I then went into the memory test and booted from the command shell without networking. I did a search: locate xorg.conf I did a cat on my primary xorg.conf file and found out that it was completely blank! Nothing in it. I then realized I had another xorg.conf.save.backup <--- like this or similar located under a usr/share/xprobe/ directory of some sort... I did a mv
