Problems, nothing but problems!

That line's commented, its just part of the documentation you could say.

*www.pastebin.ca/1022634 with Modules appended to, you can also try uncommenting and setting that one to true later, but I don't think its necessary, looks like a device-exclusive setting to me

^ I didn't understand your post buddy! ,

Is my xorg.conf OK except for the dri part?

And the link you've given, should I use that as my xorg.conf?

 

[ray|raven]

Yes. He's fixed ur xorg.conf with needed modules.

Use it in place of urs.

Still no luck, I get:-

(EE) I810: Failed to load module "dri" (module does not exist, 0)

I searched /usr/X11R6/lib/modules and found a file called "dri" .



PS:-
I copied this line from Xorg.0.log after X hung.

/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so is where mine lies. I don't seem to have a dri file under the location you have mentioned.

Could it be the dri lib is not installed? Check your package manager for the package as praka123 had pointed above. (an eix -I dri gives me the package xf86driproto installed, looks like headers only though)

Hi,

Finally solved all problems! Changed some bios options and everything works perfect !

I'm using the distro I tried first. i.e Slackware,

I've been using it since 3 days with not ONE crash or hanging,


The scroll wheel doesn't work, how to fix it?

Only thing is fonts are totally unrecognizable, how to correct them?
