XFree86 built from yesterday's CVS can't open/var/log/XFree86.0.log

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Platform: Intel PII, debian testing,
	  Diamond Fire1000 GL screen card (TI Permedia 2 chip set)
	  xserver-xfree86 and xserver-xcommon packages from
	  4.2.0-1pre1, the rest of X from 4.1.0-17

Yesterday I did a CVS update and a rebuild from the XFree86 source
tree, installing into a different place.  I then symlinked
	/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86
to the freshly built server (I checked with ldd that the server didn't
depend on any non-system .so files).  But it won't run.  Both when
starting up with startx, and in /var/log/kdm.log, when attempting to
start kdm, I get the following error message:

Fatal server error:
Cannot open log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log"


When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages.
Please report problems to xfree86@xfree86.org.

Has anyone else seen this behaviour?  Both the startx and the kdm
restart were attempted as root.

Here's what I did:
	cd ~/cvs/xc/
	make clean
	cvs up -dP
	make World world.log
	make -k install install.log

I have changed ~/cvs/xc/config/cf/site.def to have the following
setting:

#ifndef ProjectRoot
#define ProjectRoot /home/myuser/apps/X11R6
#endif

And then as root:
	cd /usr/X11R6/bin/
	mv XFree86 XFree86.deb.4.2.0-1pre1
	ln -s /home/myuser/apps/X11R6/XFree86 .

All hints, guesses, and ideas appreciated!

Thanx!
