Re: [Xen-users] domU gui problems‏



Thanks for this.  It works for me too.

For completeness sake and anyone finding this in the future ...

I've tested installing either fbdev or vesa drivers and allowing auto config gives the problem with the missing pointer.

Adding the conf file referring to whichever driver is installed makes the pointer appear.

The vesa driver gives a slight mismatch in virtual screen size and window size, so fbdev is the better choice.

Just wanted to say that I managed to fix it. The fbdev Driver is not installed 
by default. You need to install it, then create a very simple config file for 
X.Org.

pacman -S xf86-video-fbdev


nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf


Section "Device"
    Identifier "Device0"
    Driver "fbdev"
EndSection


Previously I tried with Driver "vesa", but X.org didn't even started. At that 
point I noticed that /var/log/Xorg.0.log mentioned that fbdev was missing. Installing it 
is not enough, you need the X.org config file to tell it to use the Driver.
With fbdev Driver however, that log has several pages worth of this error:

(EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOPUTCMAP: Device or resource busy

...But it works.

I suppose that this issue was introduced with xorg-server 1.17.1 since it seems 
to have replaced some Drivers. Oh, also, I'm using Standard VGA, not the 
Cirrus.
