VIA Chrome9 HC IGP

[zlon]

Hello! I have thin client WYSE x90 with graphic VIA Chrome9 HC IGP . I want to install porteus on it. But x manager dont want to start. I try vesa mode- same result. I try lots of Linux and only Slax 6 works. Slax 7 failes. Porteus as i understand is similar to Slax but more live. Could you help me? Porteus my last chance to have modern OS on this PC.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you for advice. But I am soo new in Linux. I could not understand how to edit file. gedit- seems to be only for Ubuntu

UPD vi will help me. Sorry

hello zlon,

please open terminal -> run psinfo command -> upload generated system report to pastebin.com -> post a link to it.

thank you

In command line try:
mc
This will call mc (midnight commander) an editor plus file manager easy to use or
nano
less intuitive.

what happened to 002-xorg.xzm module? did you deactivate it prior to generating psinfo report?
please generate new report an make sure that Xorg module in activated. please boot to text mode, run 'startx' command and upload also /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

Sorry, it was my mistake.

[fanthom]

please boot to text mode, run 'startx' command and upload also /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Sorry, i could not do it. When i start x manager - startx. PC is freeze. I see only black screen. After reboot no changes are saved. So i have no such a file. (As i understand it should be created at the first start of x manager)

UPD: http://pastebin.com/bRfc1eNx

I did not allow changes before

[    63.561] (WW) CHROME(0): Unable to find connected outputs - setting 1024x768 initial framebuffer

i guess you have DVI connection and driver expects the VGA one. this is a known bug but unfortunately no resolution to it. a number of threads on google confirming it - please search for 'CHROME(0): Unable to find connected outputs' string.

sorry for being of no help.

Thank you for help. I will try. In any case this thin client is like laptop, so i have NO external connection.

Slitaz 3 vesa works on these machines, you can adjust display to as high as you require at 24bit colour depth. I stuck it on the DELL FX130 with 512Mb IDE DOM and 1Gb of ram, runs well. I would like Kiosk to run on them, but have had no joy so far apart from using one type (came with a DELL FX170) of DVI-I to vga adaptor that works...
