What are Bookworm users supposed to do to make Mesa DRI work correctly
now that i915_dri.so is missing? Did it get moved to some other .deb
I can't ID? I don't think Crocus is supposed to work on Gen3. At least,
export MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=crocus in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/10-crocus.sh
doesn't help.
In openSUSE Tumbleweed in 22.2.4 i915 is still included in its Mesa-dri
package, and Mesa DRI Intel 945G is working as expected.

[Intel-gfx] KMS start locks up RocketLake-S GT1
Is there a command line option needed for RocketLake-S GT1 on i5-11400? Is it supposed to use some module other than i915? Tumbleweed kernel 5.15.6 locks up, apparently when KMS should be kicking in. I can't get any logs or dmesg except when booting with nomodeset. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[Intel-gfx] i810e & i815 no /dev/dri/card0
https://manpages.debian.org/testing/xserver-xorg-video-intel/intel.4.en.html says these IGPs are supported. Is this true? I'm trying to get them to work in Debian Stretch and Buster, but having no luck finding /dev/dri/card0. What doc explains how to acquire it? VESA is producing only 640x480. :~( I see in http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1185174 it requires heroics as of kernel 5.12. :( But, Stretch is on 4.9 and Buster is on 4.19, so should still work, right? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.

Re: [Intel-gfx] Still trying to isolate video freezes
Chris composed on 2016-06-05 16:42 (UTC-0500): In an effort to try and figure out why the video on my Dell Optiplex 780 keeps freezing I've been advised to run the latest kernel to see if it may fix the problem. Today I installed 4.6.0-997.20160502_amd64.deb and when booting it would not finish at all. There were some statements about not loading root and also about not finding a drive Is yours a SFF model 780? Overheating can cause freezing, and small case Dells, like other compact case PCs, are particularly susceptible to overheating if allowed to accumulated dust and/or tobacco tar, particularly on CPU cooler and/or within PS. Dust collected on tar acts as an insulator, containing heat within the source components. If you're sure overheating is not your problem, run memtest86 overnight or longer. You might have failing RAM. It happens. Sometimes simply reseating RAM will help if testing produces errors, but don't count on it. I can't recall my SFF 780 ever doing as yours with any Linux kernel all the way back to 3.11.7 and up through 4.5.4, and servers 1.14.x through 1.18.3. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

SFF & USFF models tend to run rather hot, so accumulated dust, and especially tobacco tar, within, especially within the power supply, can become an intermittent problem for software. Currently it's 87F outside. I have a window open directly behind the system and a fan blowing on the front of it. We're just not ready to turn the AC on yet. CPU0 is running around 116F and CPU1 109F. This whole issue of the video freezing whether it's with or without the Hangcheck error has been ongoing here on my system since 13 Sept 2014. The last time the video froze with the Hangcheck error was Jan 17 2016. Since then the video has frozen without the error on 1/21/16; 1/27/16; 2/25/16; 3/08/16; 3/11/16; and today 3/15/16 at 09:50am. I came back to the desktop at around 11am to find it frozen at 9:50. I moved the mouse, the video flickered and the clock caught up and came unfrozen. The only thing in my syslog for that time is: 09:50:07 localhost kernel: [347769.284331] [drm:drm_mode_addfb2] [FB:60] 09:50:07 localhost kernel: [347769.303256] [drm:drm_mode_addfb2] [FB:62] 09:50:07 localhost kernel: [347769.324369] [drm:drm_mode_addfb2] [FB:63] Ambient temps tolerated by humans really shouldn't matter. Excess heat inside the case is often a problem elsewhere than where temp probes lie when dust has materially accumulated. What I was really asking is, is its inside reasonably clean, including inside the PSU? In 2014 it would have been around 5 or 6 years old. Also, is the PSU fan always moving some air? Maybe it's time to give it an overnight memtest workout. Could be there's become an iffy bit in the video RAM area. I have a 780 too, and a 760, and a 745, and several 620s, but they are all SFF, and don't often get left on more than a couple of hours at a time. Video lockups I don't remember ever seeing on any of them. Gnome isn't installed on any. Kubuntu on one 620 might be 14.10, but only openSUSE 13.1, 13.2, 42.1 and Tumbleweed are on my 780. 13.2 uses kernel 3.16.7, 42.1 4.1.15, and TW (currently) 4.4.3. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Both DisplaySize and primary display assigned as I wish with radeon. Both DisplaySize and primary display assigned as I wish with nouveau.

I've run across many Optiplex models over the years, but the GX50 predates them all. Looking up in Google it appears to be a Pentium III. Most PCs using those predate Intel onboard graphics, among which my GX200 (but not my GX150 or GX110). If your GX50 has the 810E chipset, the Intel driver has in recent years had limited functionality and marginal performance in Linux. My GX110 has 810E. I haven't powered it up in over 7 months. It's painfully slow. I don't remember if X even works in it any more. If you really think a machine nearly 2 decades old with maximum RAM population of 0.5GB warrants refurb, I suggest you find and install in it an ATI or NVidia PCI gfxcard. The OS and X need the shared RAM the 810E video is now using. The 7600 has 945G video. I have various recent distro installations (among which Kubuntu 14.04 and above) scattered among various machines using 945G experiencing none of the trouble your bugs describe, so maybe its problem is RAM or memory controller. Have you inspected its innards for exploding or leaky electrolytic capacitors? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague If it has any large uF (680 or higher) OST brand caps that appear normal they may nevertheless be bad and are worth checking or replacing if you believe the machine otherwise worth salvaging. Nomodeset is a workaround that blocks use of Intel driver which causes use of a low perfomance, limited function fallback driver that will use only modes provided by the machine's video BIOS. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Note too that it intentionally contains no modelines. At least 99.% of the time, the system is smart enough to auto-generate whatever modeline is applicable to the appropriate mode, so don't waste your time looking for or including any modelines unless your Commander and Operator 1280x1024 displays have already proven themselves incapable of allowing appropriate auto-generation.

Grub with gfxboot starts in 640x480 mode instead of 800x600, and the combination of vga=791 and video=1024x768@60 on cmdline generates an unsupported BIOS mode message from vga=791. Trying again leaving off vga=791, Grub again appears in 640x480, and boot proceeds in that mode until the kernel switches framebuffer to 1024x768. Restoring BIOS to 8M restores 1024x768 normalcy here. It appears that Grub dev is right about your BIOS; 1024x768 is not available until after the BIOS releases control, and probably until Grub2 turns the screen over to the kernel. IOW, your BIOS is your problem. -- The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive. Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Re: [Intel-gfx] Lenovo X60 with i945: Setting resolution in GRUB to 1024×768
Paul Menzel composed on 2015-01-18 12:20 (UTC+0100): on the Lenovo X60 with i945 graphics (and vendor BIOS), for using fastboot, that means to avoid a modeset, I want to set the desired resolution in GRUB using the option `GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768` in `/etc/default/grub`. Making a change in /etc/default/grub does not take effect until the actual Grub menu is rebuilt. It's a config file, not a menu file. Unfortunately that does not have an effect and the resolution is only 640Ã480. IIRC, I've solved this problem in the distant past by in BIOS setup changing memory size reserved for video controller from 1M to 8M. The GRUB developer told me that this is likely a Video BIOS issue. Am I out of luck or do you know of possible solutions or do you have pointers how to debug this? GRUBâs `vbeinfo` lists the resolution of 1024Ã768. GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768 assumes you are using Grub2. In Grub legacy what you need is video=1024x768 or video=1024x768@60 on the kernel cmdline. I have multiple i945G systems using both vga=1024x768@60 and Grub Legacy, but none Lenovo.

You are misinterpreting verbiage in the logfile if you think that is what 2.21.15 says. Methinks you misinterpreted my comment at the time you replied. Sometime after v2.20.19 the string connected disappeared from Xorg.0.log files, while remaining all along in logs created using radeon and nouveau drivers. Since your reply, Rawhide's driver moved from v2.99.917-1 to v2.99.917-2, and the string returned to the logs. 2-EDID preferred absent from Xorg.0.log That's not used by any -intel. I see First detailed timing is preferred mode in logs generated using radeon and nouveau, and those generated using intel thru v2.20.19 and in v2.99.917-2, so absence from logs generated in the interim using intel makes me wonder why. Maybe only Xorg rather than driver is what uses it, but the difference when looking at files only from the interim period when they were absent made this the more logical place to ask. 3-EDID preferred is not used by Xorg Indeed. So if -intel does not and Xorg does not, what does? 4-video= on cmdline if present and valid is used by Xorg instead of EDID preferred Xorg inherits the current mode. This is a primary reason for the OP, a distinctly different behavior from using radeon and nouveau. I can understand the logic in it, but will be bothered by it as long as the difference among drivers remains, and would really rather it never happen that the others change to do the same as what intel started doing . It's a long tradition that the kernel cmdline options affecting framebuffer vtys (vga= pre-KMS, video= using KMS) not be inherited by Xorg. Those have quickly and easily at boot time enabled the vty rows and columns to be indirectly adjusted to provide a comfortable text size without impacting the much more elaborately configured X desktops. Current intel behavior requires an additional Xorg 'Section Device' option to get the configured DisplaySize onto the default output in place of the automagic that worked not so long ago in intel, and still can in radeon and nouveau.

Re: [Intel-gfx] Fast User Switching does not seem to work
constantine composed on 2014-10-09 00:38 (UTC): I am encountering a peculiar problem with Fast User Switching or Kernel Mode Setting and I do not know how to troubleshoot it. When I run two (or more) Virtual Terminals switching between them (Ctrl+Alt+F2-3, etc.) takes 2+ seconds. (That is either simply initiated with startx from tty2 and tty3 or as different displays with KDisplay Manager (kdm) in :0 and :1) I am using an intel graphics driver so I suppose KMS should be enabled by default and this seems to be the case, but there still are delays swithing VTs. I have followed the instructions at http://carlosbecker.com/posts/how-to-enable-kms-on-i915-graphiccard-archlinux/ https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/kernel_mode_setting https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_graphics but I am still experiencing the problem. Last, I am certain it is not a hardware related issue, because I can fast switch in ubuntu, but not in Arch linux. Any ideas? Does your Arch use systemd? Is your *buntu not using systemd? Distros using systemd typically configure ttys to be on demand. Others do not. I find when I do not reconfigure my systemd installations to start logins on ttys at boot, delays getting to them are normal, and annoying. IOW, I don't think your annoyance has anything to do with KMS or video driver.

Using 0x8121 required specifying an appropriate font via config file. Even after KMS began, vga=0x8121 continued to work, and still does at least through kernel 3.4.47. Now with kernel 3.11.x (openSUSE 13.1) and 3.12.rc6 (Mageia 4): boot: ttys OK, whatever font, rows and columns kernel determines unless specified otherwise on cmdline via vga=. video= and resolution= on cmdline have no effect. Vga= still works too if font is correctly specified by config file, but only for 0x12# BIOS modes. After startx is started, before being stopped, ttys remain functional. Once startx is stopped, ttys may or may not remain functional. Sometimes after startx has been run exactly once since booting they continue to be useful. Other times, the rows and columns are no longer remembered, switching to fonts appropriate to an 80x25 screen, but outputting more than 80 columns and 25 rows, scrambling the output in part via line breaks absent when needed at column 80. -- The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive.

This is still pre-kms, there's no kms driver for i810 chipsets. So whatever bug there is might be just bad luck or the userspace X driver not restoring stuff correctly. But I'm pretty sure it's not a kernel bug, at least no in the i810 driver. I was hoping for a (what appears to be a not our bug) response that was more helpful WRT whose bug it likely is. To me it's clearly a bug report that either can be found or needs to be made at bugs.freedesktop.org, but in what component? https://bugs.freedesktop.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=xorg has a long list, among which there is only one that includes the string intel, Driver/intel, which is what this list seems to be about. Does it look like Server/General, Server/DDX/Xorg, or something else? As it manifest in more than one distro, it surely isn't likely to be downstream. Userspace modesetting is known to be racy and broken, so people don't really want to waste time on digging into bugs which are most likely flukes. But if you can bisect this issue to a specific patch a fix should be possible. Again I got no clear answer to the question asked, so I guess now it's fair to assume this must be the right place for discussion after all. I've installed openSUSE 12.3. Its 3.7.10-1.16-default and server 1.13.2 behave nicely. Beyond installing Mageia 3 to get 3.8.13 and 1.13.4, and as one who does not build software even via proxy, I'm open to suggestions how to get kernels and/or other xorg versions needed to perform bisection. -- The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive.

Turns out configuring a screen section in the old pre-KMS format enumerating
desired/selectable modes solves the problem, even enabling virtal (aka KMS
panning). However on exit from the X session back to the ttys, the default
mode set on boot (neither vga= nor video= on {Grub Legacy} cmdline), or one
that was set via vga= (video= is ignored), may or may not restored. When not,
the ttys are left unusable from mismatch between font used and (no longer
correct) rows/columns. Apparently the first X session following boot exits
OK, but not a second.

Mark EDID modes as driver modes. Infer virtual size from driver modes.
I don't know what to make of your response. I don't build packages. My i810
box is used only for seeking out and reporting regressions such as this. I'm
puzzled how I missed this for so long, although part of why is probably
attributable to loss of sysvinit causing me to have skipped over the openSUSE
12.3 development process with this machine. It's plenty slow, a 1GHz
Coppermine with PC100 RAM, so I don't boot it much.
Did Adam already fix this? Will you be including this among your next
submits? Do I need to file a bug first?
vttys are stable only as long as X never started, regardless whether
video= and/or vga= are present on cmdline. Only way I've found so
far to make them work reliably again once X is started is to reboot.
With various combinations of X running or not and video= and/or vga=
used, vttys get scrambled in various ways (font mismatched to row
and/or column counts of active mode).
While X is running but a vtty is active, X/KDE3 may abort spontaneously.
That sounds like the dangers inherent in UMS.
The whole paragraph? The last line only? Suggestions how to cope? I'm not
including nomodeset on any of my cmdlines. AFAIK, only my MGA systems are not
using KMS.
The biggest change here is the loss of XAA in Xorg.
This too says nothing I understand. Referring to XAA or EXA or the like has
no meaning to me. I'm not a programmer. I just test what others package, and
get frustrated by comments like this one:

I've been exaggerating a bit, I must confess... But, to keep things straight, I really did multihead setup using xrandr in a startup script. You think mere mortals are going to find startup scripts, not to mention xrandr, easier to figure out than config files? Plus, in my experience, there are far too many different script file names and locations among various distros than X config files and locations. Not to say .config file setup is easy, because it's not, but to me they're the lesser evil. -- The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive.

[Intel-gfx] vsync on ttys with KMS
I run all my displays, LCD or not, at 60 vertical refresh. Flicker is a non-issue for these old eyes. Is there a way to force the kernel to use 60, or find out what is being used? On the p275 Trinitron I'm using right now, I doubt fc15's 2.6.38.2 is running 60, as the output is shifted so far left that at least 1/2 of output is hidden from view, and I don't want to be playing with the (hard to use) manual centering controls any more, risking running the display out of settings storage and FIFOing away previous settings I'll be using again. -- The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive.

Re: [Intel-gfx] PCI configuration space of the VGA controller and laptop LCD picture quality.
On 2011/01/13 11:58 (GMT-0800) SD composed: I still can't figure out why Fedora (13,14,15) shows LCD picture much worse then opensuse 11.1. What does worse mean? Most people who see worse are actually complaining about fonts, and in most cases even then they don't define what is worse about the fonts. Can you upload screenshots of both so people can see what worse means? That said, Fedora sets some system wide variables that affect X quality/behavior in /etc/X11/Xresources: Xft.dpi Xft.hintstyle Xft.hinting openSUSE doesn't do that. If you comment those away in Fedora, or match the Xft.dpi number to your LCD's actual DPI, you may find the difference is reduced or disappears, particularly if actual DPI varies more than nominally from the Xft.dpi setting. OTOH, they may produce little or no improvement if you've set your DTE to force DPI or tweaked its font smoothing settings. If you need to comment further, also specify which DTE you use, as that can matter as well in future responses. As long as I still want to use Fedora on my laptop I would like to ask - can picture quality be spoiled by different PCI configuration? I highly doubt it, other than if it's wrong there's no picture to assess the quality of. -- How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver.

Re: [Intel-gfx] Using quirks to fix incorrect Monitor physical size
On 2010/09/13 10:10 (GMT) Nasa composed: Is there a way to tell the driver to use DisplaySize to pass the correct dimensions to the i915 driver? from my searches, I saw the following note: News: xf86-video-intel only supports KMS now 2010-02-11 - Jan de Groot With the move of xf86-video-intel 2.10.0 to extra, support for UMS has been removed from the intel driver. This means that KMS is a requirement now. Does this mean that there's no way to override incorrect (or in my case) missing EDID info? I am assuming so, which is why I am asking about quirks. Thanks in advance, So... Given the lack of a response, I am guessing this means the drivers don't support this capability. Is there a reason for limiting user capabilities? Removing users ability to work around hardware issues just seems like the wrong way to go. At least in my humble opinion. I'm not implying what you're asking for is unreasonable or too much to ask, but have you tried Meego's vesa or fbdev drivers with KMS disabled? If those don't cut it for you, maybe you just need to wait a while longer for the Intel devs to replace more of what got discarded when UMS got dumped from its driver. Maybe you need to file an xorg bug to help that along. What was on the laptop when you bought it? You'd think the vendor would have shipped something works with its hardware. I can't tell from http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2010-August/007907.html what it was you bought. -- The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive.

Re: [Intel-gfx] Problems configuring unique xorg.conf file
On 2010/08/26 23:14 (GMT) Nasa composed: Given Meego's setup where is the appropriate place to put the xrandr commands? I was confused on this point when I tried that before... I know nothing about Meego other than that you are using it. :-p X seems to be started from 3 files in /etc/X11/xinitrc (xinitrc, xinitrc-common, and Xclients) It worked for me in openSUSE 11.3 adding everything in xinitrc near the end, right before the actual window manager startup commands. An alternative that worked for me was using ~/.xinitrc and leaving /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc untouched. I opted to add the lines to xinitrc thus: ... xrandr --newmode 840x480_60.00 31.25 840 864 944 1048 480 483 493 500 -hsync +vsync ... Where I have it placed now doesn't work (after removing my edited xorg.conf, I get the original resolution back). So I must not understand where it should be placed. Could you enlighten me, *pretty please* :} I did more experimenting. It worked for me with no xorg.conf, modifying nothing in /etc/X11/xinit, and putting what used to work in the monitor section of xorg.conf into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf. http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/50-monitor.conf.02-113-t2240-1600x1200x120-60_i845G worked for me to get 1600x1200 instead of the 1024x768 default, but you may need to add the above xrandr data as a Modeline in order to get your 800x480. -- The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive.
