Hey everyone, sorry if this is the wrong place. I am
having issues with TDM on my Debian install, it never wants to start x. When I use startx
it loads trinity (with broken transparency), but I cant get TDM to work at all.
[ 4.840] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or
directory
This message is because of X trying to start too soon, because /dev/dri/card0
hasn't yet been created by whatever kernel or driver action populates /dev/. It
has nothing to do directly with TDE/TDM. I see it happen also with KDM3, and have
been for going on 2 years[1], without any progress in determining why.
Instead of using startx, try systemctl restart TDM, and it will probably work, and
you may find X using /dev/dri/card1 instead of card0.
