Re: [XFree86] XFree86 with Intel I810 Chipset-Problems
Hi! Markus Willems wrote (Thu 2003-Apr-03 15:46:49 +0200): Whens switching to Command-line mode on e.g. TTY1, the server collapses completely. This problem has been known for several weeks but no solutions have been published so far. Your server's logfile (usually /var/log/XFree86.0.log or similar) should contain an error message similar to this one: Error in I830WaitLpRing(), now is 484199, start is 482198 pgetbl_ctl: 0x1ffe0001 pgetbl_err: 0x0 ipeir: 0 iphdr: 0 LP ring tail: 7150 head: 0 len: 0 start 0 eir: 0 esr: 0 emr: instdone: ffc0 instpm: 0 memmode: 108 instps: 0 hwstam: ier: 0 imr: iir: 0 space: 102056 wanted 131064 Fatal server error: lockup Can you check that? For me, disabling framebuffer usage helped to reduce the frequency of crashes, i.e. make sure there is NO such entry: Option UseFBDev true in your XF86Config. Cheers, Marcus -- Marcus C.

The i810/830 driver doesn't support that option... Hm, all right... :-) ... Did you switch from framebuffer device to VGA console instead? No, that was the only (deliberate) change I made which seemed to improve the behaviour. Might only be an impression though. Something else I noticed is that the crashes seem to occur (more often) if whatever is displayed under X is to be changed right at the time I change to a text console. This part of the error message: space: 102056 wanted 131064 Fatal server error: lockup makes me feel like the X display would like some more memory at that point but doesn't get it. But I don't really know anything about this... Cheers, Marcus -- Marcus C.
