I am having difficulty starting up the Xorg server within my Gentoo installation. I set it up via The X Server Configuration HOWTO. When I get to the part where I startx
, the screen flickers a bit, and then it drops me back into the terminal with the following message:
[some stuff here]
(EE) Failed to load module "vesa" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)
FATAL: COuld not load /lib/modules/2.6.35-gentoo-r12/modules.dep: No such file or directory
Two things that are weird to me - I am not using vesa or fbdev drivers. I am using intel and evdev in my /etc/make.conf
. Secondly, I don't use modules in my kernel. I specifically remove them. This hasn't caused a problem before. I'm not really sure what is going on.
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers
and are the fallbacks Xorg automatically tries if the specific driver module for your screen can't be loaded.
