Hello All.
I upgraded my FC1 box to FC3 over the weekend and now X11 hangs 5-10 minutes into watching recorded shows. I can ssh into the box and kill the X11 server (99% cpu, needs a kill -9 to actually die), but that makes for a rather discontinuous viewing experience.
Hardware: ASUS A7V8X-MX SE mobo VIA KM400 chipset AMD Athlon XP 2k+ nVidia GeForce4 MX 440 512M ram 2x Hauppauge PVR-250s 2x Samsung 160GB drives
Software: FC3 w/ latest atRPMs: kernel ver 2.6.10-1.766_FC3 ivtv ver 0.2.0-65_rc3g.rhfc3.at nvidia-graphics6629 X.org ver 6.8.1 MythTV CVS from 1/1/05
When X hangs I get a single line cryptic message in /var/log/message from the nvidia driver. Some examples:
NVRM: Xid: 6, PE0000 007c 7f807e7f 0000fbb4 7f807e7f 7f7f7f7f NVRM: Xid: 1, Channel 00000000 Method 00000000 Data 80808080 NVRM: Xid: 6, PE0000 06cc 7f7f8080 0000fbb4 02d07f7f 7f7f8080 NVRM: Xid: 6, PE0000 007c 8080807f 0000fbb4 8080807f 80808080 NVRM: Xid: 6, PE0000 007c 7f80807e 000065d4 02d08080 80808080 NVRM: Xid: 1, Channel 00000000 Method 00000000 Data 817d7e81
I've tried the other nvidia driver versions available at atrpms (specifically, 6106 and 6111), but I can't get them to load into the kernel:
Mar 1 21:13:43 mythtv kernel: nvidia: Unknown symbol __VMALLOC_RESERVE Mar 1 21:13:43 mythtv kernel: nvidia: Unknown symbol pci_find_class
From the log files, it looks like I'm using agpgart. I haven't tried to force it to use nvidia's agp driver because the README doesn't list my chipset.
Does anyone have any ideas what I might try to fix this? With this upgrade, recording seems stable for the first time since November. But that doesn't do me any good if I can't watch!
