failed to start X server upon install from live-cd (search didnt help)

[agreschk]

Hello everyone.

I am not a Linux guru but I have some experience with Suse and Ubuntu. I am trying to set up bt4 r2 on Samsung nc20 notebook and ran in obviously known issue with X server.

Trying to start X server with startx leaves me with this:

X: warning; process set to priority -1 instead of requested priority 0

X.Org X Server 1.5.2

....

(EE) Failed to load module "type1" (module does not exist, 0)

Saw signal 11. Server aborting.
giving up.
xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X Server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.

i have tried fixvesa right after reboot. It has copied xorg.conf-vesa to xorg.conf and didnt help. startx leaves me with same error.

I have tried to config xorg.conf manualy by adding recomendet resolution for my notebook which is 1280x800 even though it can handle 1024x800 but it didnt help anyway.

i have been googling for "x server errno 111 3" and "Saw signal 11" but couldt find anything that i havent tried already.

Neither i could find anything new by searching these forums.

I still hope someone can help me out or point me into the right direction. Help is much appretiated.

gratitude in advance

excuese me for double post

ive solved the problem on my own while waiting for answers. Hope it helps others...

this worked for me:

run

Xorg -configure

right after booting from live-cd

it will create a new config file in your root folder. Next step, copy it to your X11 folder

cp xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

then go ahead with startx

Dude, you just solved my problem too. I couldn't get mine resized to 1152x870 (custom resolution for my Mac) and rewriting the xorg file with Xorg -configure apparently detected all the drivers again and now I can resize properly. I have spent like two effing days trying to figure this out. Thanks!!!!
