Unichrome Via Vesa and the missing network


Posts: 14

Hello everyone, been a long time since I have posted so here we go. I need help. I have a avertech 3250 and have been running Mepis since it was new (over 2 years). I have installed the lastest version of Mepis and I have a little problem. I am trying to get my Unichrome driver to work. But here is were it gets upsetting. I can get the Via Unichrome driver to work but when I do I am unable to get my network to work. If I go to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the Device from Vesa to Via the 3D will work but not the network. Shortly after that my keyboard quits working. If I go back to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the Device back to Vesa and everything works.
Please help

Well, computer geek-stuff, mostly. I could tell you all about it; but, then I would have to delete you.

I noticed you have a semprom

I noticed you have a semprom 64 bit processor--doesn't that mean you have a 3270 model? Anyway, you might backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and then run as root in a terminal

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

try accepting all the default responses

if this breaks your GUI, log in as root text mode

cd /etc/X11/

cp xorg.conf.bak (or whatever you named it) xorg.conf

Configuring xserver-xorg
------------------------

You should choose this option if you would like to attempt to autodetect the
recommended X server and driver module for your video card. If the
autodetection fails, you will be asked to specify the desired X server and/or
driver module. If it succeeds, further configuration questions about your video
hardware will be pre-answered.

[More]

If you would rather select the X server and driver module yourself, do not
choose this option. You will not be asked to select the X server if there is
only one available.

For the X Window System graphical user interface to operate correctly, it is necessary to select a video card driver for the X server.

Drivers are typically named for the video card or chipset manufacturer, or for a specific model or family of chipsets.

1. apm 4. chips 7. fbdev 10. i740 13. mga 16. nsc 19. s3 22. siliconmotion 25. tdfx 28. tseng 31. via

3. ati 6. cyrix 9. i128 12. imstt 15. newport 18. rendition 21. savage 24. sisusb 27. trident 30. vga 33. voodoo

X server driver: 19

The X server configuration file associates your video card with a name that you may provide. This is usually the vendor or brand name
followed by the model name, e.g., "Intel i915", "ATI RADEON X800", or "NVIDIA GeForce 6600".

Identifier for your video card: s3

Users of PowerPC machines, and users of any computer with multiple video devices, should specify the BusID of the video card in an accepted
bus-specific format.

Examples:

ISA:1
PCI:0:16:0
SBUS:/iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/SUNW,tcx@2,800000

For users of multi-head setups, this option will configure only one of the heads. Further configuration will have to be done manually in the
X server configuration file, /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

You may wish to use the "lspci -X" command to determine the bus location of your PCI, AGP, or PCI-Express video card.

When possible, this question has been pre-answered for you and you should accept the default unless you know it doesn't work.

Video card's bus identifier:

Typically, the amount of dedicated memory used by the video card is autodetected by the X server, but some integrated video chips (such as
the Intel i810) have little or no video memory of their own, and instead borrow main system memory for their needs.

This parameter should usually be left blank and specified only if the video card lacks RAM, or if the X server has trouble autodetecting the
RAM size.

Amount of memory (kB) to be used by the video card:

Rather than communicating directly with the video hardware, the X server may be configured to perform some operations, such as video mode
switching, via the kernel's framebuffer driver.

In theory, either approach should work, but in practice, sometimes one does and the other does not. Enabling this option is the safe bet,
but feel free to turn it off if it appears to cause problems.

Use kernel framebuffer device interface?

Use kernel framebuffer device interface? yes

The default keyboard layout selection for the Xorg server will be based on a combination of the language and the keyboard layout selected in
the installer.

Choose this option if you want the keyboard layout to be redetected. Do not choose it if you want to keep your current layout.

Autodetect keyboard layout?

Autodetect keyboard layout? yes

xserver-xorg config warning: failed to infer keyboard layout from layout/lang
'10 debian-installer/keymap doesn't exist--10 debian-installer/language
doesn't exist'
For the X server to handle the keyboard correctly, a keyboard layout must be entered. Available layouts depend on which XKB rule set and
keyboard model were previously selected.

Experienced users can use any layout supported by the selected XKB rule set. If the xkeyboard-config package has been unpacked, see the
/etc/X11/xkb/rules directory for available rule sets.

Users of U.S. English keyboards should enter "us". Users of keyboards localized for other countries should generally enter their ISO 3166
country code. E.g., France uses "fr", and Germany uses "de".

Keyboard layout: us

For the X server to handle the keyboard correctly, an XKB rule set must be chosen.

Users of most keyboards should enter "xorg". Users of Sun Type 4 and Type 5 keyboards, however, should enter "sun".

Experienced users can use any defined XKB rule set. If the xkeyboard-config package has been unpacked, see the /etc/X11/xkb/rules directory
for available rule sets.

When in doubt, this value should be set to "xorg".

XKB rule set to use: xorg

For the X server to handle the keyboard correctly, a keyboard model must be entered. Available models depend on which XKB rule set is in
use.

With the "xorg" rule set:
- pc101: traditional IBM PC/AT style keyboard with 101 keys, common in
the United States. Has no "logo" or "menu" keys;
- pc104: similar to pc101 model, with additional keys, usually engraved
with a "logo" symbol and a "menu" symbol;
- pc102: similar to pc101 and often found in Europe. Includes a "< >" key;
- pc105: similar to pc104 and often found in Europe. Includes a "< >" key;
- macintosh: Macintosh keyboards using the new input layer with Linux
keycodes;
- macintosh_old: Macintosh keyboards not using the new input layer.
With the "sun" rule set:
- type4: Sun Type4 keyboards;
- type5: Sun Type5 keyboards.

Laptop keyboards often do not have as many keys as standalone models; laptop users should select the keyboard model most closely approximated
by the above.

Experienced users can use any model defined by the selected XKB rule set. If the xkeyboard-config package has been unpacked, see the
/etc/X11/xkb/rules directory for available rule sets.

Users of U.S. English keyboards should generally enter "pc104". Users of most other keyboards should generally enter "pc105".

Keyboard model: pc104

For the X server to handle the keyboard as desired, a keyboard variant may be entered. Available variants depend on which XKB rule set,
model, and layout were previously selected.

Many keyboard layouts support an option to treat "dead" keys such as non-spacing accent marks and diaereses as normal spacing keys, and if
this is the preferred behavior, enter "nodeadkeys".

Experienced users can use any variant supported by the selected XKB layout. If the xkeyboard-config package has been unpacked, see the
/etc/X11/xkb/symbols directory for the file corresponding to your selected layout for available variants.

Users of U.S. English keyboards should generally leave this entry blank.

Keyboard variant:

For the X server to handle the keyboard as desired, keyboard options may be entered. Available options depend on which XKB rule set was
previously selected. Not all options will work with every keyboard model and layout.

For example, if you wish the Caps Lock key to behave as an additional Control key, you may enter "ctrl:nocaps"; if you would like to switch
the Caps Lock and left Control keys, you may enter "ctrl:swapcaps".

As another example, some people prefer having the Meta keys available on their keyboard's Alt keys (this is the default), while other people
prefer having the Meta keys on the Windows or "logo" keys instead. If you prefer to use your Windows or logo keys as Meta keys, you may
enter "altwin:meta_win".

You can combine options by separating them with a comma, for instance "ctrl:nocaps,altwin:meta_win".

Experienced users can use any options compatible with the selected XKB model, layout and variant.

When in doubt, this value should be left blank.

Keyboard options:

1. ImPS/2 2. ExplorerPS/2

Mouse protocol:

Mouse protocol: 1

Most programs in the X Window System expect the mouse to have 3 buttons (left, right, and middle). Mice with only 2 buttons can emulate the
presence of a middle button by treating simultaneous clicks or drags of the left and right buttons as middle button events.

This option may also be used on mice with 3 or more buttons; the middle button will continue to work normally.

Note that mouse buttons in excess of five (counting a scroll wheel as two buttons, one each for "up" and "down", and a third if the wheel
"clicks") are not yet supported with this configuration tool.

Emulate 3 button mouse?

Emulate 3 button mouse? yes

This option is recommended to experienced users only. In most cases, all of these modules should be enabled.

- glx : support for OpenGL rendering;
- dri : support in the X server for DRI (Direct Rendering Infrastructure);
- vbe : support for VESA BIOS Extensions. Allows to query
the monitor capabilities via the video card;
- ddc : support for Data Display Channel, respectively. Allows to query
the monitor capabilities via the video card;
- int10 : real-mode x86 emulator used to softboot secondary VGA cards.
Should be enabled if vbe is enabled;
- dbe : enables the double-buffering extension in the server.
Useful for animation and video operations;
- extmod: enables many traditional and commonly used extensions, such as
shaped windows, shared memory, video mode switching, DGA, and Xv;
- record: implements the RECORD extension, often used in server testing;
- bitmap: font rasterizer (so are freetype, and type1 modules).

For further information about these modules, please consult the X.Org documentation.

X.Org server modules that should be loaded by default:

The Files section of the X server configuration file tells the X server where to find server modules, the RGB color database, and font files.
This option is recommended to experienced users only. In most cases, it should be enabled.

Disable this option if you want to maintain a custom Files section into the X.Org server configuration file. This may be needed to remove
the reference to the local font server, add a reference to a different font server, or rearrange the default set of local font paths.

Write default Files section to configuration file?

Write default Files section to configuration file? yes

Many monitors (including LCD's) and video cards support a communication protocol that allows the monitor's technical characteristics to be
communicated back to the computer. If the monitor and video card support this protocol, further configuration questions about the monitor
will be pre-answered.

If autodetection fails, you will be asked for information about the monitor.

Attempt monitor autodetection?

Attempt monitor autodetection? yes

The X server configuration file associates the monitor with a name that you may provide. This is usually the vendor or brand name followed
by the model name, e.g., "Sony E200" or "Dell E770s".

Identifier for the monitor: lcd

Please keep only the resolutions you would like the X server to use. Removing all of them is the same as removing none, since in both cases
the X server will attempt to use the highest possible resolution.

For the X Window System graphical user interface to operate correctly, certain characteristics of the monitor must be known.

The "simple" option will prompt about the monitor's physical size; this will set some configuration values appropriate for a typical CRT of
the corresponding size, but may be suboptimal for high-quality CRT's.

The "medium" option will present you with a list of resolutions and refresh rates, such as "800x600 @ 85Hz"; you should choose the best mode
you wish to use (and that you know the monitor is capable of).

The "advanced" option will let you specify the monitor's horizontal sync and vertical refresh tolerances directly.

1. Simple 2. Medium 3. Advanced

Method for selecting the monitor characteristics: 2

Choose the "best" resolution and refresh rate the monitor is capable of. Larger resolutions and refresh rates are better. With a CRT
monitor, it is perfectly acceptable to select a "worse" video mode than the monitor's best if you wish. Users of LCD displays may also be
able to do this, but only if both the video chipset and the driver support it; if in doubt, use the video mode recommended by the
manufacturer of your LCD.

The monitor synchronization ranges should be autodetected by the X server in most cases, but sometimes it needs hinting. This option is for
experienced users, and should be left at its default.

Write monitor sync ranges to the configuration file?

Write monitor sync ranges to the configuration file? yes

Usually 24-bit color is desirable, but on graphics cards with limited amounts of framebuffer memory, higher resolutions may be achieved at
the expense of higher color depth. Also, some cards support hardware 3D acceleration only for certain depths. Consult your video card
manual for more information.

So-called "32-bit color" is actually 24 bits of color information plus 8 bits of alpha channel or simple zero padding; the X Window System
can handle both. If you want either, select 24 bits.

1. 1 2. 4 3. 8 4. 15 5. 16 6. 24

Desired default color depth in bits: 6
