Missing Xorg modules

September 10, 2008 — BarryK
HairyWill reported that Xorg reported these missing modules: sil164.so, ch7xxx.so, ivch.so, tfp410.so.

Xorg in Puppy is cutdown and some X servers are missing. The above though are very small, so I have put them in. The relevantpackage is 'xorg_xorg_servers-7.3-2'.

HairyWill, would you mind testing 4.1retro-beta, which will have these, and check that it now works -- it is possible that after those modules have loaded there may be an attempt to load more.

Barry, the i810_drv symlink to intel_drv.so still doesn't do it for me when using Xorg (loss of signal). All is fine on my 3 Compaqs when replacing the symlink with the real driver. I know there are more people with this issue. Is there a reason to not include i810_drv.so? cheers, Martin

"Xorg was compiled in T2 and that's where the symlink came from. So, I don't have a i810_drv.so driver. If you have i810_drv.so that works in Puppy4, can you upload it somewhere and I will include it.

"You have the driver Barry. It was in Puppy 3.01. I wrote a howto on the forum (in the Howto section) on how to transfer it to Puppy 4. It would be much better built in though!
