I meant that I (physically) unpacked the old i3 desktop box, and plugged it to a screen, network, keyboard and mouse. :) You are correct about xf86-video-ati. Probably I missed it in the listing. I did the following: sudo slapt-get i xf86-video-ati then startx but the error persisted. Then I run sud...

I unpacked the old i3 desktop and I tried your suggestions. Using slapt-get --search xf86-video- the video driver xf86-video-amdgpu is already installed [inst=yes]. No driver found with the name xf86-video-ati. startx from a terminal gives the following errors: [EE]Fatal server error: [EE] no screen...

Yes. I try it as soon as possible when I unpack it from storage again and connect it to the peripherals. :roll: The video card is an ATI (AMD) Radeon Sapphire (I don't remember the exact model). Yes, I didn't do it on a laptop but on another desktop with i5 hashwell (~2014) and built in Intel graphi...

Hi

I tried Openbox 7.6 live 64 bits on a i3 desktop (about 13 years old), but it couldn't enter into X11. The error message is

By the way did you tried to boot with a live iso from ubuntu to see if there keys are working? After waiting for ages the current ubuntu desktop (22.04 LTS) live iso to boot, I found that neither this detects and responds to the hp screen brightness up & down combinations (fn+f4, fn+f3). Only t...

Thanks. I applied the first advice. Nothing changed. I updated the kernel to 5.18.3 (x86_64). Nothing changed. I couldn't apply the second advice, because the fn+f11 is already reserved (audio volume increase) and the fn+f3, fn+f4 key combinations cannot be detected either by obkey or by xev. I coul...

Apart from removing the xbacklight package, I had already done these, following your advice in the previous post. Both the xbacklight command and the PowerKit brightness slider are effective. The only problem is that the XF86MonBrightness[Down|Up] keys although they're enabled in obkey seem to be un...

The arrows (up, down, right,left) keys has no action here also in lenovo g510 intel i3. Actually I was not talking about the up/down keys but about the XF86MonBrightnessUp and XF86MonBrightnessDown keys, but I was too lazy to write the full name. :roll: Concerning the BIOS settings, they're very pr...

Thanks, I've already seen that and helped my to install acpilight. My current problem is no more the powerkit brightness slider, or the xbacklight command. It is that the up/down keys seem to relate to no actual key combinations from the keyboard. I don't know if it actually a BIOS problem, I'll try...
