Re: Anybody here know what a rock64 is?
See man xorg.conf On my old hp laptop (Pavillion dv2700) with Debian
Linux hp 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.43-2 (2017-04-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux
There's a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d directory, the individual parts go in
there with .conf extensions. You don't need a whole one. It looks in
various places for one, I think it's in a man page somewhere. You
should be able to tell by the log if it's reading it.
There's also the option of doing xorg -configure (only when running as
root) and it will make its best guesses and write them out to an
xorg.conf file, you can use that as a template and edit it into what
you need. I don't remember where it puts it, current directory or
~/$HOME I think. I don't think it puts it where it needs to go to
work.
I don't have any usb3 stuff, does it have to be usb3? If you took
the drive out of the adapter and plugged it into a SATA connector
you'd probably find it's OK, might need an fsck. I don't know about
clearing the buffers, seems like the power switch should work. Maybe
unplug any powered USB hub for a minute too.
I don't know what vop is. The pi has the same GUI file manager as my
hp, pcmanfm or something. But it seems like that would only be a
problem under X and if you were poking around in mc without X that
stuff shouldn't be mounted. Maybe the file manager is only
controlling the automount happening somewhere else.
You can do dmesg | less or into grep for what you're looking for. Or
send it to a text file with >. Or journalctl is the newer way, about
the same stuff I think, but you can enable persistent logging to look
at log entries just before a crash.

No, I won't call it "climate change", do you have a "reality problem"? - AB1JX
