Xlibre recompiled

June 25, 2026 — BarryK

EasyOS version 7.4 is built with Xlibre; however, with 7.4.1 reverted to the normal Devuan/Debian Xorg packages. This was because testers of 7.4 reported that X failed to start with nvidia gpu.

I don't have a computer with nvidia gpu, so cannot test. It would have been good if they had posted content of /var/log/Xorg.0.log, but we didn't get into trying to debug. I just went back to the normal Xorg.

However, have discovered a configure setting that might be a factor, so have recompiled Xlibre and will build it into Easy 7.4.2. If still no joy with nvidia, will need to examine the failure logs, for example Xorg.0.log
