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.) |
