I have installed Gentoo on my second desktop computer |
2 |
with Gigabyte MA790FXT-UD5P motherboard, AMD |
3 |
Phenome II X4 945 processor, and AMD/ATI Radion |
4 |
HD 4770 video card. However, currently I have only |
5 |
the command line: startx fails to start X11 reporting |
6 |
the following error: |
7 |
... |
8 |
(II) [KMS] drm report modesetting isn't supported. |
9 |
(EE) Fatal server error: |
10 |
(EE) no screens found (EE) |
11 |
... |
12 |
(EE) Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file. |
13 |
... |
14 |
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Bad file descriptor. |
15 |
and this is despite of the fact that I configured 4.19.86 |
16 |
gentoo kernel following instructions from |
17 |
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Xorg/Guide |
18 |
and |
19 |
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Radeon#Feature_support |
20 |
Namely, I set |
21 |
EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR = /lib/firmware |
22 |
EXTRA_FIRMWARE = radeon/R700_rlc.bin, RV740_smc.bin, and RV710_uvd.bin |
23 |
DRM = y and DRM_RADEON = y as described in the second link above. |
24 |
(I have tried several variations but always got the above |
25 |
error message after startx.) |
