Before I Post This As A Bug
« on: September 13, 2005, 07:50:02 am »
I have had to reflash my Z a few times now due toi this problem. The first two times were after I had quit to the shell and tried to run a SDL program such as Znester.

This time, however, my Z just hung and when I rebooted it came up with the error.

Error reads:

Quote
#startx
Loading /etc/sysconfig/keyboard/kernel.map
Imageon_iniscreen()
:Bad file descriptor


Fatal server error:
no screens found
XIO:  fatal IO error 104 (connection rest by peer) on X server ":0.0"
         after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
#

Anyone got any ideas?

Anyway,  off to reflash I go *sigh*

maybe you upgraded or reinstalled Xserver from Corgi feed?

I have had this same bug happen twice to me on my C-1000. Once was after I had quit to the shell as you describe and the other when I tried launching Dillo from inside the window manager. The Z froze, I rebooted, and got the same error message.

For what it's worth, I resized my root partition to 121MB in the installation both times.

I might have some more info and be closer to the soloution.

I am still getting the problem but I think it is down to SDL.

I did a fresh install, installed firefox, rebooted and it was fine.

I then installed VLC which uses SDL and rebooted. Bang, it was dead.

So this time I reinstalled the ROM and just installed the SDL files. It died again on a reboot.

On another note, I have also reized my partition to 121Mb

Anyone got any further ideas?

Sorry to bump my own post but it is with good reason....I fixed it

Believe it or not, SDL or one of it's dependencies does not like it when you resize the root partition.

I reflashed and reset the root partition to the reccomended 58Mb and it all works perfect...

Anyway, I posted the soloution on here for anyone else that gets this problem.
