Raspberry Pi 3 xorg crashes without starting

Postby asierra » Thu Sep 12, 2024 5:22 am

Hello:

I followed the instructions of [url]https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv8/broadcom/raspberry-pi-3[/url] with the recommended ArchLinuxARM-rpi-armv7-latest.tar.gz which is from 01-Mar-2023. Everything works but when I try to install a graphics environment with Xorg, it fails.

As in my project I will use a single X application (a web browser) I don't need a window manager, I will use just xinit and surf. In fact I already did it six years ago and it worked without problems.

But as Xorg doesn't work (I even can't generate the config file with X -configure), I installed a window manager and all its dependencies and still every time I want to run X, I get a segmentation fault. The problem is not my hardware since with raspbian it works (but it installs plenty of things I will not use).

I will appreciate any hint.

Best regards,

Alejandro Sierra
