Xorg and video driver for RPi4

Hello,

what is the video module for RPi 4?

I am trying to configure Xorg using

Code: Select all

Xorg :0 -configure
but the configuration fails.

I installed

Code: Select all

 
 xf86-video-fbdev
 xf86-video-fbturbo-git
 

the 1st works for RPi2 installation (on a RPi3 board).

Any ideas? The command

Code: Select all

$ lspci | grep VGA
is not helpful.

Which operating system are your running ?
Why do you want to reconfigure it ?

On Raspbian Buste I belive you dont have an "xorg.conf", its all autodetected.

Note this is in the Arch" forum, so references to what happens in Buster aren't going to be helpful....

PS: I made a similar "Why do you want to do this" post yesterday but deleted it when I realise which forum it was in,

ah... yes I forget to check sub-forum quite often to be honest.

Thanks, this helped me get xorg and with that gnome working.
I had to install xf86-video-fbdev to get xorg working, and to get gdm working I had to disable wayland and set xorg as the backend for it
I hope you in the meantime you managed to get yours started as well. Otherwise let me know, I might be able to help you.
