Description: The X.org Setup is a visual X.org 7.x setup utility that can detect video cards, monitors, etc.
It is capable of running from a console, even though it is written entirely in KDE/Qt.
It requires OpenSuSE's hwinfo and HAL/DBus support, and is part of the DARKSTAR Linux Project.
NOTE: The development of the X.org Setup is sponsored by the easys GNU/Linux, http://easys.gnulinux.de.Last changelog:
The Xorg Setup is now part of ALICE (Advanced Linux Installation and Configuration Environment), the installation/configuration suite developed by the DARKSTAR team, for the Slackware based systems.
As application, the X.org Setup have more, more fixes and enhancements than previous version.
Hi fellows,
After a successful compilation of the source code I am able to run xorgtest from the sbin directory.
I installed the software in ~/bin/xorgsetup and I am having problems with the xorgsetup binary.
I got the following output message after running ./xorgsetup
============
X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 156
Major opcode: 147
Minor opcode: 3
Resource id: 0x0
Failed to open device
X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 156

Failed to open device
xorgsetup: ../../src/xorgprobe/lxorgdata.h:349: void LMouseData::chk() const: Assertion `d->m_lshared_valid' failed.
Aborted
============
Am I missing libraries or something? During compilation I saw also these warning messages:
============
lxorgprobe.cpp:843: warning: unused parameter 'card'
lxorgprobe.cpp:848: warning: unused parameter 'mouse'
lxorgprobe.cpp:853: warning: unused parameter 'kbd'
============
Is this the cause of my problem?
Thank you in advance.
Look at the line:
liconloader.h:25:19: error: qlist.h: No such file or directory
This means that you are missing the qlist.h C language header.
Install its respective package and pay attention to other missing headers. That is the first step.
Ah, that worked! I googled qlist.h and found it to be part of the "libqt3-compat-headers" package, which I then installed. I ran "./configure" and "make" again and ran into the error:
error: hd.h: No such file or directory
So, I googled it too, and found it to be part of the "hwinfo" package - which I had installed. I used Synaptic (currently searches more thoroughly than Adept) to search for everything with the keyword "hwinfo", and found I didn't have the "libhd13-dev" package installed; I installed it and compiled X.org Setup again, and VOILA! It worked!
Thanks for your help, I wouldn't have figured it out on my own ~[:^D
Well... Dear,LocoMojo, on this case, You can think for our target: to replace the Slackware scripts with some high performance visual applications, without to lose the "users" experience...
Thanks You! Is, truly, our objectice to replace this script with our X.org Setup utility... ;-)
I'm not complaining or anything and I do understand that you're trying to offer an alternative, but releasing programs with the same name as someone else's could cause confusion for some users.
When I first installed your app and attempted to run it, I got Slackware's ncurses driven xorgsetup. I was already familiar with Slackware's xorgsetup so I knew something was wrong and investigated further. Another user may not have been familiar with Slackware's xorgsetup and would assume that the ncurses driven one was yours.
So you see, not only are you stepping on someone else's toes by naming your app the same as someone else's, but you may also be shooting yourself in the foot by confusing your potential users.
Cheers and thanks for releasing this app.

Well, the main objective of X.org Setup is to be used on some Slackware based distributions as a visual (and smart) replacement of the original Slackware xorgsetup.
Of course, the all ALICE managers have the mission to create a visual configuration environment for theses distributions, i.e. Package Manager or Disk Manager...
But, in theses cases (some Slackware based distro's), the X.org Setup is the main X.org configuration application and isn't problems...
Cheers. Got it compiled with:
./configure --prefix=/opt/kde3 --enable-new-ldflags CPPFLAGS='-I /opt/kde3/include -I /usr/lib64/qt3/include'
and it runs and works
It would be nice if you would write something that would not depend on a certian distributions tools. All you're benefiting is OpenSuse and not Linux users as a whole. It seems counter productive.
Hi I am a member of the Yoper team, the fastest out-of-the-box distro!
I'm trying to build X.org Setup for our repository, but it fails. I'm having the same issues with QT as some mates have already posted to this forum.
The configure process can be check here: http://yoper.pastebin.no/1775
The make one is here: http://yoper.pastebin.no/1776 This is where you'll see the real errors.
Any help much appreciated.
Hello everybody !
On an Opensuse 10.2 I was -nearly complete- able to compile this application if I use the following commands:
export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=$QTDIR/include:$CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH
./configure --prefix=/opt/kde3 --enable-new-ldflags CPPFLAGS='-I /opt/kde3/include -I /usr/lib64/qt3/include'
The only thing that still stops with an error is src/lib/xorgprobe with this error:
/usr/include/X11/extensions/Xrandr.h:88: error: 'Connection' does not name a type
/usr/include/X11/extensions/Xrandr.h:251: error: 'Connection' does not name a type
Missing Includes ? Any Ideas ?
Thanks in advance
Axel
You are missing libXrandr. Depending on the distro u have to get that, hwinfo from suse, etc. On www.darkstarlinux.ro u will find exactly the tgz for slackware based distro.
Using Kubuntu 7.04 on the Generic Kernel (Athlon). I ran the command and got these errors on Make.
ldesktop.cpp:22:21: error: klocale.h: No such file or directory
ldesktop.cpp: In member function 'void LDesktop::setup(const QString&, const QString&, const QCursor&)':
ldesktop.cpp:24486: error: 'i18n' was not declared in this scope
And the Make failed. I believe i have met most of the other requirements, re: hwinfo, kdebase-dev, libcurl3-dev, etc

However, do you realize that Slackware has a script called xorgsetup? It's within the x11-skel-7.1-noarch-6 package. Check it out here: http://packages.slackware.it/search.php?v=12.0&t=2&q=xorgsetup LocoMojo

Any chance of multi monitor configuration in the future?
Of course! The multi-monitor support is one of the objectives of X.org Setup for rearching the 1.0 stone...
It's link is down
anyone?
So, when I use Kubuntu, I can't use this software, or?
Cheers. Got it compiled with: ./configure --prefix=/opt/kde3 --enable-new-ldflags CPPFLAGS='-I /opt/kde3/include -I /usr/lib64/qt3/include' and it runs and works

same to do if it will lost kde includes
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-new-ldflags --with-qt-includes=/usr/include/qt3 CPPFLAGS='-I /usr/include/qt3'
Using Kubuntu 7.04 on the Generic Kernel (Athlon). I ran the command and got these errors on Make. ldesktop.cpp:22:21: error: klocale.h: No such file or directory ldesktop.cpp: In member function 'void LDesktop::setup(const QString&, const QString&, const QCursor&)': ldesktop.cpp:24486: error: 'i18n' was not declared in this scope And the Make failed.

I had the same error .. with Kubuntu Feisty and Zenwalk..
i had the same error..but i think this is the main condition to compile: It requires OpenSuSE's hwinfo like programmer wrote..:(
Problem is not with hwinfo, but with paths to qt include files.
