Hi, first post here.
I know it has been
covered
at least twice before, and I have seen the
two workarounds
, I am still experiencing problems getting LinuxCNC to start.
The terminal output:
So the two workarounds I tried was:
- the libgl1-mesa-swx11 package in place of libgl1-mesa-glx. This change cased the following bootup error, dibabling hardware acceleration (assuming it was in fact working in some fashion before):
[drm:r100_ring_test [radeon]] *ERROR* radeon: ring test failed (scratch(0x15E4)=0xCAFEDEAD)
[drm:r100_cp_init [radeon]] *ERROR* radeon: cp isn't working (-22).
radeon 0000:01:00.0: failed initializing CP (-22).
radeon 0000:01:00.0: Disabling GPU acceleration
[drm:r100_cp_fini [radeon]] *ERROR* Wait for CP idle timeout, shutting down CP.
- using the vesa driver for xorg. This prevented X from starting up altogether:
vesa: Ignoring device with a bound kernel driver
(WW) Falling back to old probe method for vesa
(EE) Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section.
(II) UnloadModule: "vesa"
(EE) Device(s) detected, but none match those in the config file.
(EE)
Fatal server error: (EE) no screens found(EE)
Attached (hopefully) is my full X log and conf file. Once again, this is a Compaq Evo N610c laptop (I realize the latency will very likely be a future issue - I plan to sim with it - although I do have access to a physical router if I ever want to do a real life trial) with a R100 radeon graphics card (Mobility Radeon 7500). As for software, I am running Debian Stretch with the Jessie and Wheezy repos pinned to allow for installation, and whatever is current on the LinuxCNC 2.7 apt stream (Wheezy).
Any pointers to get either scenario above to fruition would be most appreciated. Thank you.
