Dear all
After my success with Debian Etch on a PowerBook-G4 I tried installing
Debian on a second PowerBook-G4, which is basically identical to my
'first' machine. However, with the second PowerBook, changes in xorg.conf
(/etc/X11/xorg.conf) have no effect (I tried to setup the keyboard -- right
now I have to manually type 'setxkbmap ch -model macintosh' after each
login to get a proper keymap). Also, the .profile, .Xmodmap, and .xinitrc
files in my home are ignored.
Any ideas or hints?
The first things to check are the error messages and warnings in the
Xorg log file. Run the following command and post its output:
egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Since you seem to have a problem with the config file and/or the default
settings, I would also like to see the results of:
egrep '^\((==|\*\*)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Also tell us how exactly you start X. From your message I get the
impression that you use a graphical login manager, but which one? (xdm,
kdm, gdm, ...)
Thank you for helping me again!
Talk about computers... this morning I boot the machine, et voila,
xorg.conf worked! And the .Xmodmap seems to have done it's magic, too.
Don't ask me why, I didn't change anything during the night (except
maybe its a new day and I slept very well...).
However, while xorg.conf and .Xmodmap now work, the other files still
have no effect. What I find especially annoying is that my .profile is
not doing anything at all. If I execute it manually, things work as
expected, though.
Just for completeness the result from the log files you asked are
appended below. I don't know what to say regarding 'the way I start X'.
It just starts up automatically when I boot the computer. I guess that's
the way it's set up with the default installation from the CD (it's the
net-install disk for Debian Etch, btw.).
Thanks,
Matthias
