Need help with xorg.conf solved

[Kiwi-Hawk]

Hi

I need to edit my xorg.conf so I can get the res back to 1360x786
but I'm not sure of syntax

Code: Select all

# You should use dexconf or another such tool for creating a "real" xorg.conf

I don't know what figures to put in the line:

modeline "1024x768@60" 65.0 1024 1048 1184 1344 768 771 777 806 -vsync -hsync

Putting modeline "1360x768@60 but what figuers go next

I can do the:

modes "1024x768@60" "800x600@60" "800x600@56" "640x480@60

to

modes "1360x786" "1024x768@60" "800x600@60" "800x600@56" "640x480@60

Ok but will that work if the modline is not there or correct?

This file was generated by failsafeDexconf, using
# values from the debconf database and some overrides to use vesa mode.

This line in your xorg.conf tells it all - something has happened so your X is running in the emergency mode
(Re)install the video drivers and hopefully you're done
And please always include the version of Mint and what hardware you have

[Kiwi-Hawk]

Hi

I have no idea why it reset it's self and reinstalling the driver did not work
My system is:
AMD Duel-Core 6400+
2gig 1066 DDR2 ram
Audigy 2 Audio
Nvidia 7900 512mg video card

and I'm using a 40 Samsung LA series HDMI TV as monitor

this gives me 1360x786 in first install once I enable th nvidia driver.

When this autoconfig back up happens it does not back up the config thats there it jus overwrites it
so it's hard to go back less your a programmer or know just what to put in you xorg.conf

I what I have and I can not get it back to 1360x786 because the system over writes it

Is there a modprobe or such command I can use to scan and get it to pickup the hardware again?

???
Happened again?!
Could be that the monitor is so out of the ordinary that the X server gets confused
When I've switched to a nvidia computer I'll give you a xorg.conf for nvidia

Hi

This is becoming a split sorry,..

I was trying to sort out my Logitech MX5000 and the howto had instructions for
editing the input device in xorg.conf so all the mouse buttons work and I think thats what killed it

I now have a clean install and I have got mouse and keyboard in my bluetooth list
but it's that same obex error stopping it from working

Cheers

Here is a standard xorg.conf for the main Elyssa with nvidia

# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*

You have to edit
Option "XkbLayout" "se" to what ever you have
That bluetooth problem is a hard nut to crack

Hi

This is the tut I was working with
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? ... ech+MX5000

I managed to get it working don't ask how lol it was not looking good hidd --search was bring up nothing and I knocked
the mouse and got movement so I tested the keyboard and bingo it working too.

the bit that worries me and I haven't done it yet is the xorg.conf edit to put in:

current code is

Code: Select all

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"Configured Mouse"
	Driver		"mouse"
	Option		"CorePointer"
	Option		"Emulate3Buttons"	"true"
EndSection

Edit to replace with:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

This is what broke my desktop last time so not sure I want to go there

I notice to over a little time the device's loose connection and I have to run hidd --search again and reconnect
this could get to be a problem
Cheers

If this

Code: Select all

    Section "InputDevice"
       Identifier   "Configured Mouse"
       Driver      "mouse"
       Option      "CorePointer"
       Option      "Emulate3Buttons"   "true"
    EndSection

works - leave it at that - remember my signature
But the only thing I haven't seen before is

Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"

and its all in the "mouse department" so I don't really understand why it should break your desktop...
The rest below that controls how your mouse buttons work

[Kiwi-Hawk]

HI

What you say is very true,.. I jus need to stop it fading away and make it load on reboot.

Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

To get full mouse function shouldn't hurt then right?

Cheers

If these mouse options (kept inside the mouse section of course) knocks out your video I'd be more than surprised

Hi

Ok it's all cool and working well now on gnome,.. I have Enlightenment installed and the font size is outta this world
in my apps firefox and letters about 3" high.

I notice that this line is not used in the xorg.conf DisplaySize xxx xxx
is that wgat sets the font size or is it somit else?

Thanks for all you help by the way

this is the bluetooth file if its a help:

# Defaults for bluez-utils

# This file supersedes /etc/default/bluez-pan. If
# that exists on your system, you should use this
# file instead and remove the old one. Until you
# do so, the contents of this file will be ignored.

# start bluetooth on boot?
# compatibility note: If this variable is not found bluetooth will
# start
# BLUETOOTH_ENABLED=1

# This setting will switch HID devices (e.g mouse/keyboad) to HCI mode, that is
# you will have bluetooth functionality from your dongle instead of only HID.
# Note that not every bluetooth dongle is capable of switching back to HID
# mode, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=355497
HID2HCI_ENABLED=1

############ HIDD
#
# HID daemon
HIDD_ENABLED=1
HIDD_OPTIONS="--master --server"
# to make hidd always use a particular interface, use something
# like this, substituting the bdaddr of the interface:
# HIDD_OPTIONS="-i AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF --server"
#
# remove '--master' if you're having trouble working with Ericsson
# T630 phones with hidd operational at the same time.

############ COMPATIBILITY WITH OLD BLUEZ-PAN
# Compatibility: if old PAN config exists, use it
# rather than this file.
if test -f /etc/default/bluez-pan; then
. /etc/default/bluez-pan

############ DUND
#
# Run dund -- this allows ppp logins. 1 for enabled, 0 for disabled.
DUND_ENABLED=0

# Arguments to dund: defaults to acting as a server
DUND_OPTIONS="--listen --persist"

# Run dund --help to see the full array of options.

# Connect to host 00:11:22:33:44:55
# DUND_OPTIONS="--connect 00:11:22:33:44:55"
#
# Listen on channel 3
# DUND_OPTIONS="--listen --channel 3"

# Special consideration is needed for certain devices. Microsoft

############ PAND
#
# Run pand -- ethernet: creates new network interfaces bnep<N>

# Read the PAN howto for ways to set this up
# http://bluez.sourceforge.net/contrib/HOWTO-PAN
# in later versions of pand it used to execute /etc/bluetooth/pan/dev-up

#
# Connect to any nearby network controller (access point or ad-hoc)
# PAND_OPTIONS="--role PANU --search"

############ SDPTOOL
# this variable controls the options passed to sdptool on boot, useful if you
# need to setup sdpd on boot.
# options are ;-separated, i.e. for every ; an sdptool instance will be
# launched
#
# examples:
# SDPTOOL_OPTIONS="add --channel=3 SP" # ericsson P800 serial profile
