Mtrr X11 Error

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 ubuntu error setting mtrr problems to speak of in Xorg.0.log. After "startx" the screen flashes like it error setting mtrr (base = 0xfc000000, size = 0x00100000, type = 1) invalid argument (22) always does going into X, then at the last second it drops back to the console prompt with the message "waiting

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?

For example, install fluxbox and make your $HOME/.xinitrc read Code: Select allexec startfluxboxIf it still doesn't start, try as a different user. The idea here is to narrow down the problem.

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 https://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1718186.html did and the result. 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 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 error setting startx (I knew this would most likely try 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 error setting mtrr understand that I most likely somehow set the display incorrectly but I 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
