Module ABI version mismatch

Post by rwincewicz »

Hi

I've just done a clean native install of Gentoox, leaving out KDE, and am unable to startx. What I get is the error message below:

X Window System Version 7.1.1
Release Date: 12 May 2006
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.1.1
Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.32-gentoox i686
Current Operating System: Linux xbox 2.4.32-gentoox #1 Wed Jul 26 12:32:42 GMT 2006 i686
Build Date: 01 November 2006
Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org
to make sure that you have the latest version.
Module Loader present
Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting,
(++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational,
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Thu Nov 2 07:07:35 2006
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
(EE) module ABI major version (0) doesn't match the server's version (1)
(EE) Failed to load module "nvxbox" (module requirement mismatch, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.

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

Has anyone else had this problem and does anyone know how to solve it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I had this working on a previous installation of Gentoox and now it's broken.

The problem is that the current version of the video driver for the Xbox doesn't support that version of X. To fix this add the following lines to /etc/portage/package.mask, which may not exist. Then re-install X.

Code: Select all

>=x11-base/xorg-server-1.1.1-r1
>=x11-base/xorg-x11-7.1
>=x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard-1.1.0
>=x11-drivers/xf86-input-joystick-1.1.0
>=x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse-1.1.0

Thanks a lot for that, it worked a treat.

I thought that was the problem but I'd only downgraded the server and x11 packages, not the keyboard, joystick and mouse ones as well.

the xorg xbox driver does infact work... I have been using it for the past 4 months without a hitch...

You just have to grab and compile it yourself until someone updates the gentoo repository (no, I wont, I use debian)
