# Linux Kernel Module Cheat

#### 14.4.2. X11 Buildroot ARM

On ARM, `startx` hangs at a message:

    vgaarb: this pci device is not a vga device

and nothing shows on the screen, and:

    grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log

says:

    (EE) Failed to load module "modesetting" (module does not exist, 0)

A friend told me this but I haven’t tried it yet:

- `xf86-video-modesetting` is likely the missing ingredient, but it does not seem possible to activate it from Buildroot currently without patching things.

- `xf86-video-fbdev` should work as well, but we need to make sure fbdev is enabled, and maybe add some line to the `Xorg.conf`
