Note that that's a warning, not an error. X continues on without it. It |
10 |
should not be related at all to your crash. |
11 |
|
12 |
However, to avoid the warning, add the following to your xorg.conf file: |
13 |
|
14 |
Under section "ServerFlags: |
15 |
|
16 |
Section "ServerFlags" |
17 |
Option "NoPM" |
18 |
EndSection |
19 |
|
20 |
(You may say Option "NoPM" "True", if desired, but binary options default |
21 |
to true if encountered at all, so having it there is true, and commenting |
22 |
it would be the same as changing it to false.) |
23 |
|
24 |
Without the option, it turns the feature off when it can't find support in |
25 |
the hardware/BIOS, but it sets that warning in the log. Turning it off |
26 |
explicitly avoids the logged warning, but operationally, it doesn't |
27 |
matter, since it's off due to not finding support for it anyway. |
28 |
|
29 |
I have no idea on the /var/log/messages error you posted, but it shouldn't |
30 |
be related in the slightest to the xorg APM warning. |
