Hello, Are you aware that upstream Linux 2.6.37 doesn't have the xen (dom0) drm/ttm/kms fixes yet? They were just posted to dri-devel and to lkml just a couples of days ago for review.. Konrad has a git tree with the patches applied, iirc .. Also Jeremy's xen/stable-2.6.32.x git tree has (most) of the patches applied. Also you might want to discuss these issues on xen-devel.. and report success/failures :) Thanks! -- Pasi Here is the bug report: Plain Radeon without any xorg.conf modifications on Fedora 14: Initially there was a graphical modesetting based startup. I switched from graphical startup progress graphics into text mode during boot: I could see textual progress messages during bootup. When X tried to start, Radeon kernel driver caused a page fault, that it couldn't handle. Full kernel stack trace was visible on the screen, and it could be looked up with Shift + page up / page down. Unfortunately I don't have time to take a log via serial port this weekend. With nomodeset, booting up progressed (disk IO heard), but the screen was blank all the time. I initiated a reboot from the keyboard. With modesetting with the bug, keyboard didn't work. I initiated a reboot via reset button.

I'm using the F14 xen-4.0.1-6 as the hypervisor. The only problem is the display goes all blank when dom0 kernel is booted - I need to check what's going on. (yeah, I have nomodeset specified). Forget that, it seems even kms modesetting works with dom0_mem=1024M! -- Pasi -- xen mailing list xen@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xen
