Odd Xconfig Errors: syntax error, non-numeric arguments...?

Odd Xconfig Errors: syntax error, non-numeric arguments...?

Post by Derek Milhous Zumst » Tue, 07 Mar 1995 11:34:30



Hey, all, I've been trying to set up X on my new system, and I'm
having lots of problems with ConfigXF86. I've followed this group
for about a week (lots o' work), and read the FAQs and readmes, so
here goes:
 I have a Cirrus 5424 chipset, a CTX CVP-5468A, both of which are
listed in Config's options, and select without problems. But when
I go to tune, I receieve the messages:
 error: syntax error
 error: syntax error
 error: non-numeric argument
after any test (which never work), and nearly any other operation
on that screen. The file Config generates doesn't work at all, either.
Running X with the files it generates does this:
(--) SVGA: Mode "800x600" needs hsync freq of 48.83 kHz. Deleted.
(--) SVGA: Mode "1024x768i" needs hsync freq of 39.56 kHz. Deleted.
(--) SVGA: Mode "640x480" needs hsync freq of 60.10 kHz. Deleted.
 and then, after some other parsing, this:
(--) SVGA: There is no mode definition named "800x600"
(--) SVGA: Removing mode "800x600" from list of valid modes.
(--) SVGA: There is no mode definition named "1024x768i"
(--) SVGA: Removing mode "1024x768i" from list of valid modes.
(--) SVGA: There is no mode definition named "640x480"
  I am, obviously, a bit confused. Has anyone else encountered a
problem like this? How did you solve it?
  And, if there's anyone out there with valid config files for my equipment,
could you please post them to me (I know how to tinker with them, but I
need a starting point).
  I appreciate all answers, either to me or the group. Thanks-

1. access.conf syntax error without a syntax error

Hi:

I just compiled Apache 1.3.0 on a RISC/6000 running AIX 4.3.1

After launching httpd I get the following error:

Syntax error on line 23 of /usr/local/http/../access.conf
Expected </Directory> but saw </Directory>

I checked the file and looks normal (no unexpected eof or things like
that). I have not modified the access.conf file so I could not have
introduced any syntax errors.

Any clues ? I am totally clueless.

Thanks in advance.
