[gentoo-user] xorg-server-1.5 and xf86-video-i810 [SOLVED]
Dear all, === Short version: If you upgrade to xorg-x11-7.4, xorg-server-1.5 and xf86-video-i810-2.4.2-r1, and X does not start, change Section Device Driver i810 to intel in your xorg.conf. Would have been nice if Portage had informed us of this. If nothing else works, revert to vesa (or vga) and start searching the Net. === Long version: Yesterday I upgraded (--deep) my Xorg to xorg-x11-7.4, hence xorg-server-1.5. Upon reboot X would not start. First it complained of missing drivers, and to get rid of these errors I simply commented these lines in xorg.conf: # Load xtrap # Load record # Load type1 However, X still refuses to start. I figured, at least I think that the problem was in the Device driver: i810. =x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810-2.4.2-r1 refuses to detect about anything (also checked with dmesg). I used vesa as a joker, and to my surprise X started. But I'd much like to switch to the i810 one. I tried rebuilding xf86-video-i810, but it brought nothing new. I tried downgrading to stable versions (1.6.5, 1.7.4 and 2.1.1), or unstable (2.2.1), but the driver would simply not compile. I did manage to compile 2.3.2, but I see the same behaviour as with 2.4.2-r1. (EE) No devices detected. Fatal server error: no screens found giving up. xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): unexpected signal 2. When loading X with vesa, I still get some non-fatal errors: error setting MTRR (base = 0xf000, size = 0x01fd, type = 1) Invalid argument (22) (EE) TouchPad no synaptics touchpad detected and no repeater device (EE) TouchPad Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.

Would have been nice if Portage had informed us of this. I went trough this too (I had to run X -configure to see it changed the driver). However, the intel driver does not seem to work that well, glxgears won't start for me any longer (Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual). Not that I would really need that one, nor any other GL application, it just bothers me to have something not working ;-). Have you seen this error too? Thank you -- I have a theory that it's impossible to prove anything, but I can't prove it. Michal 'vorner' Vaner pgpETp7EsarWL.pgp Description: PGP signature

Would have been nice if Portage had informed us of this. Yeah, had that too and it's a bit confusing that the i810 driver (which is a link to intel, AFAIK) loads but does not detect anything. Since the driver was renamed from i810 to intel in upstream, I vote for Gentoo to rename the package as well, from xf86-video-i810 to xf86-video-intel. - Sascha signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil

Not this particular one, but I still get an error with the newest driver: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ glxgears Failed to initialize TTM buffer manager.

The FPS are still in regression compared to what I had around a year ago, 1200+ FPS. Regards, Liviu
