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! - Steinar _______________________________________________ Newbie@XFree86.Org *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
