Bug#362431: xorg: missing modules
Thanks for this
It turns out that I had been commenting the wrong
section in Xorg.conf- I had commented out the 'load
modules' lines when it was the module path lines that
needed to be commented out. I have corrected this and
no longer get errors about bitmap and pcmidata
modules. HOWEVER this now gives me a new error that
module xtt default font cannot be found from default
location. Whilst there are many font paths in my
Xorg.conf, they all appear to be valid and I cannot
tell which paths to change- I am assuming that if a
default path is failing that I would need to specify a
new one rather than comment out an eexisting one. i
have already tried dpkg-reconfigure xorg (forget exact
command) previously to no avail. It would seem that we
need to address a number of path issues urgently - any
ideas?
Thanks
