LiveCD's Xorg "no usable configuration" error with EeePC
Posted: Sat Dec 01, 2012 8:15 pm
Hi everybody,
I'm an Asus eeepc X101CH owner, on it I used linux mint 13 with XFCE without problems, but mint 14 with MATE causes troubles with Xorg.
Even thought with the liveCD I had no problems at all, after the installation Xorg fails booting. It's the not-so-uncommon error "Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration".
So I tried to fix it googling around. Tried updating. Tried sudo X -configure, copy and startx. Tried sudo apt-get remove and then install. Tried to make a Xvesa xorg.conf configuration using the xvesa settings that was working with Parted Magic. No success.
By the way, I noticed that even Parted Magic cannot launch Xorg, but i had to use the pure vesa settings.
My installation method was through usb: first I've just prepared myself the usb pen; then I thought it was my fault and I tried with Unetbootin and ImageWriter each time installing from zero. Still no success.
***EDIT1: the command "X -configure" says that the number of the created screens does not match the number of detected devices. Checked "/usr/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.." and found no monitor settings. Is this relevant?
***EDIT2: downloaded the new iso avalaible called "14.1" and tried installing through USB: Xorg didnt start even in the live cd session. Changed title.
