BTW: turning white does not necessarily mean "screen is dying" but can
also mean "LCD is powered off and slowly turning transparent but the
backlight is still on" which brings me back to the original subject:

Sharp PC-AR10 (ATI rage mobility P/M AGP 2x), which is sort of the
crappiest hardware i have ever seen, has working S3 without any tricks.
The backlight is not turned off at S3 but in fact it is explicitly
turned on (if i do "xset dpms force off" before suspend, it turns back
on after  or shortly before entering suspend) and the screen slowly goes
white (because TFT power is turned off), but if you enter S3 via
lidswitch this does not matter since the lidswitch turns off the
backlight :-)

This is either distribution or hardware specific. Try with vanilla 6.8.2

Kernel panik. Can you ssh into your maschine and get a dmesg? I recommend you

I tried:
2.6.11-rc3-mm2 + Xorg + DRI disabled
and this works.

I cannot enable dri/drm with the cvs version of the drm modules, because
the drm modules do not compile for -mm kernels, since there is the patch
for multiple agp bridges included (that's the reason why I tried -rc4
without mm) and the drm modules from drm-trunk-module-src are not
prepared to the change of the api. I even tried to incorporate the
changes to the api but gave up.

I *can* active dri but with the builtin kernel drm modules, which makes
the kernel freeze while resuming.

> Am I right with assuming that resumeworked after the X upgrade if X wasn't 
> started before suspend?

NO!!! Most interestingly: Doing a suspend from single user mode makes
the machine freeze (not even sysrq!)

I suspect that it has to do with the restoring of graphics state with
vbetool from a data set which was taken *while* running X: My
suspend2ram script looks like this (as suggested here):

statedir=/root/s3/state
/usr/bin/chvt 1
cat /dev/vcsa >$statedir/vcsa
sync
echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep
sync
vbetool post
vbetool vbestate restore <$statedir/vbe
cat $statedir/vcsa >/dev/vcsa
...

but $statedir/vbe was taken once for XFree86 running. Can this be the
reason for the freeze?

Why not leave the choice to the BIOS writers? If some are able to
save/restore video state by themselves, we shoudln't stop them.
As long as the state after resume accepts setting the mode without
lockup, we should be fine.

That could even be automated more. A live cd which boots, performs
a few tests, displays the results on screen and offers an option
to save these results to usbstick/network/disk/whatever.
After saving the boot results, it will perform a S3 suspend and
resume and display/save the results of that, too. If Intel have
enough money, they could provide the functionality on a hard
disk and it would have the benefit that S4 could be tested as well.
If the disk has a FAT32 partition, the results can be saved there.

More info available upon request, but in general:

- Debian unstable
- vanilla kernel 2.6.10
- ACPI patch 20050125
- BlueZ patch -mh4
- IBM trackpoint patch [2]
- radeonfb

I've a working S4 with the same configuration, too. But it seems I
still suffer a problem about hwclock I already reported with another
laptop [5] [6]. In this case, the command proposed seems not working
anymore (I should test more deeply, just a question of time ;-) ).

Anyway, this laptop works very well!

I've also a docking station [7], I'll test with it ASAP.

I believe our message should be:
1. BIOS should save/restore video in S3
2. Use Intel's ACPICA ASL compiler -- if not for production,

Sorry, no Idea. What about 2.6.11-rc3-mm2 + Xorg 6.8.1.99? Did you test this 
combination?
Am I right with assuming that resumeworked after the X upgrade if X wasn't 
started before suspend?

Well, whether you POST video or not is still only
software... anyway...

Your _WAK idea could work for notebooks (but if you did it in _WAK
you'd break windows, so you'd have to call it _VWK (VideoWaK) or
something), but for desktop where user can plug in any video card he
buys... I do not see how you can get away with something other than
normal POST.

You have to start to think like a vendor with a long legacy. Then my

That would make some products non-conformant which are working
perfectly today. If the video state is preserved over S3, it doesn't
make sense to declare that behaviour non-conformant.

> BIOS must do that during normal boot; this should be very little

Not necessarily. Some BIOSes stay in graphics mode during the whole
bootup (at least it seems so) and would have to include additional
code to enter 80x25 text mode.

Oh, gcc does that to a certain extent. For example, it has warnings
like "this comparison is always true" or "value too big for selected
type".

It is possible to do quite a bit of semantic verification at compile
time, but of course there are limits to everything.

That sounds overcomplicated. Simply add this to the specs:
"BIOS must POST video during S3 wakeup. Video mujst be working
and in 80x25 text mode when it jumps to OS. VESA BIOS calls must be available 
to the OS."

BIOS must do that during normal boot; this should be very little additional
work.

again not always. Sorry.

Ok, I installed xlibmesa-gl1-dri-trunk, xserver-xfree86-dri-trunk and
compiled linux-2.6.11-rc4 and drm modules from drm-trunk-module-src, all
from http://www.nixnuts.net/files/

But I had no success whatsoever. With this (Xorg server, current dri/drm
stuff, ..) the laptop not even wakes up from sleep!

Now I am back at debian XFree 4.3.0.1 and DRI disabled and suspend works
again.

I don't know wether this is a problem with the kernel or the drm, so to
sum up:

- kernel 2.6.11-rc3-mm2, XFree 4.3.0.1 (debian/sid), no dri
works

- kernel 2.6.11-rc4, Xorg 6.8.1.99 (debian sid + nixnuts), drm cvs, drm 
  activated
no resume (thus also no test for X)

This is like getting gcc to complain about run-time bugs in a program.  The 
compiler of a language (ASL in this case) compiles the language, regardless of 
run-time bugs because it can only detect syntax errors.  And iasl does that 
pretty well.

1. A first step towards better DSDTs would be to make the ASL compiler
complain about the same things which are complained about by the
in-kernel ACPI interpreter. An example would be the following:

acpi_processor-0496 [10] acpi_processor_get_inf: Invalid PBLK length [7]

The ASL compiler will not complain about it, yet the kernel will
refuse to do any processor throttling with a PBLK length of 7.

2. Urge/force vendors to use the latest ASL compiler available.
In most cases, this will result in a size reduction of the compiled
code, which should be in the interest of the vendors.

3. Get some shiny certification/label going that can be put on
fully conforming products as a sticker. Something like the old
"EPA pollution preventer" logo, but with a more appealing design.
Perhaps a "InstantOn/PowerSave" sticker, you get the idea.

4. Include a mandantory description of video bringup after resume
into the ACPI spec along the lines of "Conforming products SHOULD
make information about handling of the primary video device on
resume available to the ACPI interpreter during runtime. If video
state will be preserved over a suspend/resume cycle, the _WAK
method for said video device MUST be empty. If the video device
requires any actions by the operating system after resume to restore
the state it had before suspend, the _WAK method for said video
device MUST contain ALL the code needed to restore the state before
suspend. The _WAK method MAY call OS-supplied ACPI helper functions
like ACPI_EXECUTE_CODE_FROM_ROM to keep the _WAK method short.
If no _WAK method for a given video device is available, the OS
MUST be able to rely on the fact that video state is preserved
over suspend/resume.


Something like item 4 would be a major step forward and as a bonus,
it wouldn't require any hardware changes, only perhaps 3 or 4
additional lines of code in the DSDT. If the _WAK function for
my laptop graphics card existed and had the hypothetical commands
ACPI_EXECUTE_CODE_FROM_ROM_X86(VGA.ROM)
ACPI_RESTORE_VESA_STATE(VGA)
we wouldn't have this discussion in the first place.

Can you find it written down somewhere? It would be certainly easier
for me if every BIOS did re-post, but it is not the case on any new
BIOS

I think we are missing few lines in docs somewhere saying "video must
be re-POSTed during S3 wakeup". And then we miss someone going around
vendors with baseball bat, telling them to fix their BIOSes.

I agree, but in the absence of spec requirement and some form of
certification process, I don't see it happening in the near future.
Given that vendors are still shipping invalid DSDTs, if Windows is able

Should.

But this definitely is not the case on about 80+% of notebooks.

You can save the video state through VESA VBE, and restore it on resume,
but if the BIOS didn't re-POST the video, this will often fail.

Hi!

 I think that it is the BIOS' job on S3-suspend
 to save the video mode.  On S3-resume the BIOS should
 re-POST and restore the video mode.

Can you find it written down somewhere? It would be certainly easier
for me if every BIOS did re-post, but it is not the case on any new
BIOS

 To completely solve the Linux S3 video restore issue,
 we need to push the platform and BIOS vendors.
 
 What am I missing?

I think we are missing few lines in docs somewhere saying video must
be re-POSTed during S3 wakeup. And then we miss someone going around
vendors with baseball bat, telling them to fix their BIOSes.

 Given that vendors are still shipping invalid DSDTs, if Windows is able
 to reinitialise the graphics hardware, few are going to care about
 making life easier for Linux.

1. A first step towards better DSDTs would be to make the ASL compiler
complain about the same things which are complained about by the
in-kernel ACPI interpreter. An example would be the following:

acpi_processor-0496 [10] acpi_processor_get_inf: Invalid PBLK length [7]

The ASL compiler will not complain about it, yet the kernel will
refuse to do any processor throttling with a PBLK length of 7.

2. Urge/force vendors to use the latest ASL compiler available.
In most cases, this will result in a size reduction of the compiled
code, which should be in the interest of the vendors.

3. Get some shiny certification/label going that can be put on
fully conforming products as a sticker. Something like the old
EPA pollution preventer logo, but with a more appealing design.
Perhaps a InstantOn/PowerSave sticker, you get the idea.

4. Include a mandantory description of video bringup after resume
into the ACPI spec along the lines of Conforming products SHOULD
make information about handling of the primary video device on
resume available to the ACPI interpreter during runtime. If video
state will be preserved over a suspend/resume cycle, the _WAK
method for said video device MUST be empty. If the video device
requires any actions by the operating system after resume to restore
the state it had before suspend, the _WAK method for said video
device MUST contain ALL the code needed to restore the state before
suspend. The _WAK method MAY call OS-supplied ACPI helper functions
like ACPI_EXECUTE_CODE_FROM_ROM to keep the _WAK method short.
If no _WAK method for a given video device is available, the OS
MUST be able to rely on the fact that video state is preserved
over suspend/resume.


Something like item 4 would be a major step forward and as a bonus,
it wouldn't require any hardware changes, only perhaps 3 or 4
additional lines of code in the DSDT. If the _WAK function for
my laptop graphics card existed and had the hypothetical commands
ACPI_EXECUTE_CODE_FROM_ROM_X86(VGA.ROM)
ACPI_RESTORE_VESA_STATE(VGA)
we wouldn't have this discussion in the first place.

Ok, I installed xlibmesa-gl1-dri-trunk, xserver-xfree86-dri-trunk and
compiled linux-2.6.11-rc4 and drm modules from drm-trunk-module-src, all
from http://www.nixnuts.net/files/

But I had no success whatsoever. With this (Xorg server, current dri/drm
stuff, ..) the laptop not even wakes up from sleep!

Now I am back at debian XFree 4.3.0.1 and DRI disabled and suspend works
again.

I don't know wether this is a problem with the kernel or the drm, so to
sum up:

- kernel 2.6.11-rc3-mm2, XFree 4.3.0.1 (debian/sid), no dri
works

- kernel 2.6.11-rc4, Xorg 6.8.1.99 (debian sid + nixnuts), drm cvs, drm 
  activated
no resume (thus also no test for X)

That sounds overcomplicated. Simply add this to the specs:

and in 80x25 text mode when it jumps to OS. VESA BIOS calls must be available 
to the OS.

BIOS must do that during normal boot; this should be very little additional

Yes.

 That sounds overcomplicated. Simply add this to the specs:

You have to start to think like a vendor with a long legacy. Then my
spec draft will make more sense. Basically, you can't tell a vendor
that his hardware is broken or he will ignore your efforts from that
point on. It's a question of honour. If, on the other hand, a
vendor can claim his products are conforming to the spec by issuing
a software update for broken hardware, it is much more likely that
the spec gets accepted.

 BIOS must POST video during S3 wakeup. Video must be working
 and in 80x25 text mode when it jumps to OS. VESA BIOS calls must be
 available to the OS.

That would make some products non-conformant which are working
perfectly today. If the video state is preserved over S3, it doesn't
make sense to declare that behaviour non-conformant.

 BIOS must do that during normal boot; this should be very little
 additional work.

Not necessarily. Some BIOSes stay in graphics mode during the whole
bootup (at least it seems so) and would have to include additional
code to enter 80x25 text mode.

Well, whether you POST video or not is still only
software... anyway...

Your _WAK idea could work for notebooks (but if you did it in _WAK
you'd break windows, so you'd have to call it _VWK (VideoWaK) or
something), but for desktop where user can plug in any video card he
buys... I do not see how you can get away with something other than
normal POST.

Why not leave the choice to the BIOS writers? If some are able to

As long as the state after resume accepts setting the mode without
lockup, we should be fine.

then at least as a static source code checker for validation.
 
 
 3. Try to boot linux (here's live cd). If it complains about bios bugs
 (dmesg | grep ...), try to see if it is not indeed your bug.

That could even be automated more. A live cd which boots, performs
a few tests, displays the results on screen and offers an option
to save these results to usbstick/network/disk/whatever.
After saving the boot results, it will perform a S3 suspend and
resume and display/save the results of that, too. If Intel have
enough money, they could provide the functionality on a hard
disk and it would have the benefit that S4 could be tested as well.
If the disk has a FAT32 partition, the results can be saved there.

Re: [ACPI] Call for help: list of machines with working S3

2005-02-16 Thread Len Brown
Pavel,
I think that it is the BIOS' job on S3-suspend
to save the video mode.  On S3-resume the BIOS should
re-POST and restore the video mode.

While Linux's X drivers may be able to handle the case
where X is running -- that doesn't help us with the
cases where X is not running (a case that Windows
presumably does not have).

Besides updated X drivers, which may have complicated
restore routines for complicated modes, all the other
techniques for restoring video from Linux are
hit/miss workarounds for broken platforms.

To completely solve the Linux S3 video restore issue,
we need to push the platform and BIOS vendors.

What am I missing?

thanks,
-Len

You can set
Option "BusType" "PCI" in your cards driver section in xorg.conf / XF86Config. 
With this setting you should get DRI without having intel-agp loaded(if the 
rest is set up correctly)

I attached the full output because there are some more "AGP" there.
I just tried it again and it only crashed my X after resume with
intel-agp .. I was able to type still and start a new X but when I
tried to run a 3d-app it hard crashed and I had to reboot :(
I hope you have an idea.

Oops, sorry, I should have added the info before. My apologies. 

Here will find all the info (if you need more, tell me). Note that I tried
with and without ndiswrapper driver loaded, and I have the same hang on
resume (blank screen, HDD light fixed on, and no answer to wireless pings). 

One more note: the ndiswrapper *did* survive OK to a disk suspend cycle. 

I am running an up-to-date Mandrake 10.0 distribution, with 
a kernel 2.6.11-rc1 (Linus tree), on a Sony Vaio PGC-FX701 which is almost
working perfectly.

How do I enable DRI with my card to test that crash? I have the
following in my XF86Config:

Section "DRI"
Group  "video"
Mode   0660
EndSection

but nothing else about DRI. So do I have to change something in

Oh, and could you please include run "lspci -vv" and include the

P.S. If anyone of you is running SUSE 9.2, try their latest
kernels from ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/i386/HEAD/
Additionally, you may have to upgrade mkinitrd and udev with
packages from ftp.suse.com/pub/projects and
ftp.suse.com/pub/people (try searching around a bit and you'll
surely find them).
I'm running a kernel from there right now and can still use

YOu are right. I only have to stop the mysql server and everything is
working. Thanks.

Only one thing (maybe covered somewhere else): After resuming (without
having stopped the usb system) my external mouse (USB) stopped working.

Is there a way to reactive the external mouse?

Great idea! I was really searching for something like this. I will check

You can force the radeon X driver to use pci mode by setting Option 
"ForcePciMode" to "true" or something simmilar in you X config file. This way 
you can get dri without intel-agp. This is much slower, but enought to play

You can set

With this setting you should get DRI without having intel-agp loaded(if the

Re: [ACPI] Call for help: list of machines with working S3

2005-02-16 Thread Len Brown
Pavel,
I think that it is the BIOS' job on S3-suspend
to save the video mode.  On S3-resume the BIOS should
re-POST and restore the video mode.

While Linux's X drivers may be able to handle the case
where X is running -- that doesn't help us with the
cases where X is not running (a case that Windows
presumably does not have).

Besides updated X drivers, which may have complicated
restore routines for complicated modes, all the other
techniques for restoring video from Linux are
hit/miss workarounds for broken platforms.

To completely solve the Linux S3 video restore issue,
we need to push the platform and BIOS vendors.

What am I missing?

thanks,
-Len

Acer Aspire 1406LC  ole's radeonfb patch

I have to turn off dri, and then it works with the radeonfb patch. I
use this method because I like the fancy framebuffersplash on booting
.. although I do not reboot often when S3 wors ;)

You can find the patch here:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~marineam/patch-radeonfb-2.6.11-rc2-mm2

or for older kernels:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~genstef/files/radeon-s3-resume-2.6.10.patch

The problems with this patch are:
- you need to press a key to come back from the "resume-console" after resume.
- DRI in X does not work (at least for me with intel-agp, others
reportet it works)
I just disabloed it by not loading intel-agp (hotplug-blacklist)

I have not only issues with video not coming back, but I also need to
append acpi=noirq to my command-line that I am able to finish resuming
and use my devices correctly afterwards.

Well, in my testing the machine deadlocked if any framebuffer was
active during resume. It even deadlocked *before* I could run vbetool.

Do you use the fglrx driver? This doesn't work with any type of suspend so 
far. If you use the radeon driver try a driver update.

Good. I guess that's highly chipset-specific.

I used to unload modules, shutdown network interfaces etc. until I
tried without all that stuff and it still worked. So I concluded
that stopping things before suspend was a thing only needed with
older kernels. Granted, mounted volumes on USB or IEEE1394 still
have problems because the kernel doesn't expect them to disappear
for a few moments, but that's nothing a module unload would fix.
Simply umount all external drives and use my script. Drivers which
still need to be unloaded and reloaded are buggy and have to be
fixed.

I'll prepare a web page with detailed S3/S4 suspend/resume
information for ATI graphics card owners including step-by-step
howtos for smooth suspend/resume cycles.

Kendall Bennett is working with me to get suspend/resume working
even with framebuffers. Once we have results, I'll post them here.

Please try method (6). It should work perfectly because it is the successor
for method (5) and works even without special patches for X.

First, boot into X and run the following script ONCE:
#!/bin/bash
statedir=/root/s3/state
mkdir -p $statedir
chvt 2
sleep 1
vbetool vbestate save >$statedir/vbe


To suspend and resume properly, call the following script as root:
#!/bin/bash
statedir=/root/s3/state
curcons=`fgconsole`
fuser /dev/tty$curcons 2>/dev/null|xargs ps -o comm= -p|grep -q X && chvt 2
cat /dev/vcsa >$statedir/vcsa
sync
echo 3 >/proc/acpi/sleep
sync
vbetool post
vbetool vbestate restore <$statedir/vbe
cat $statedir/vcsa >/dev/vcsa
rckbd restart
chvt $[curcons%6+1]
chvt $curcons


Unless you change your grahics card or other hardware configuration,
the state once saved will be OK for every resume afterwards.
NOTE: The "rckbd restart" command may be different for your
distribution. Simply replace it with the command you would use to
set the fonts on screen.

vga=normal plus boot-radeon (webpage(5)) works to get text console
back. But switching to X freezes the computer completely.

I would like to get X running to, but there are no traces in the logfile

 Build Date: 15 December 2004
 
 
 I would like to get X running to, but there are no traces in the logfile
 whatsoever to be seen. Pity.

First, boot into X and run the following script ONCE:
#!/bin/bash
statedir=/root/s3/state
mkdir -p $statedir
chvt 2
sleep 1
vbetool vbestate save $statedir/vbe


To suspend and resume properly, call the following script as root:
#!/bin/bash
statedir=/root/s3/state
curcons=`fgconsole`
fuser /dev/tty$curcons 2/dev/null|xargs ps -o comm= -p|grep -q X  chvt 2
cat /dev/vcsa $statedir/vcsa
sync
echo 3 /proc/acpi/sleep
sync
vbetool post
vbetool vbestate restore $statedir/vbe
cat $statedir/vcsa /dev/vcsa
rckbd restart
chvt $[curcons%6+1]
chvt $curcons


Unless you change your grahics card or other hardware configuration,
the state once saved will be OK for every resume afterwards.
NOTE: The rckbd restart command may be different for your
distribution. Simply replace it with the command you would use to
set the fonts on screen.


 So it seems that my laptop does not fall in any of these categories.

Please try my scripts and resport back.

I used to unload modules, shutdown network interfaces etc. until I
tried without all that stuff and it still worked. So I concluded
that stopping things before suspend was a thing only needed with
older kernels. Granted, mounted volumes on USB or IEEE1394 still
have problems because the kernel doesn't expect them to disappear
for a few moments, but that's nothing a module unload would fix.
Simply umount all external drives and use my script. Drivers which
still need to be unloaded and reloaded are buggy and have to be
fixed.

I'll prepare a web page with detailed S3/S4 suspend/resume
information for ATI graphics card owners including step-by-step
howtos for smooth suspend/resume cycles.

Kendall Bennett is working with me to get suspend/resume working
even with framebuffers. Once we have results, I'll post them here.

Do you use the fglrx driver? This doesn't work with any type of suspend so 
far. If you use the radeon driver try a driver update.

Acer Aspire 1406LC  ole's radeonfb patch

I have to turn off dri, and then it works with the radeonfb patch. I
use this method because I like the fancy framebuffersplash on booting
.. although I do not reboot often when S3 wors ;)

You can find the patch here:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~marineam/patch-radeonfb-2.6.11-rc2-mm2

or for older kernels:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~genstef/files/radeon-s3-resume-2.6.10.patch

The problems with this patch are:
- you need to press a key to come back from the resume-console after resume.
- DRI in X does not work (at least for me with intel-agp, others
reportet it works)
I just disabloed it by not loading intel-agp (hotplug-blacklist)

I have not only issues with video not coming back, but I also need to
append acpi=noirq to my command-line that I am able to finish resuming
and use my devices correctly afterwards.

Stefan

systems, btw.

Re: [ACPI] Call for help: list of machines with working S3

 Hi!
 
 Stefan provided me initial list of machines where S3 works (including
 video). If you have machine that is not on the list, please send me a

   Video issues with S3 resume
   ~~~
 2003-2005, Pavel Machek
 
 During S3 resume, hardware needs to be reinitialized. For most
 devices, this is easy, and kernel driver knows how to do
 it. Unfortunately there's one exception: video card. Those are usually
 initialized by BIOS, and kernel does not have enough information to
 boot video card. (Kernel usually does not even contain video card
 driver -- vesafb and vgacon are widely used).
 
 This is not problem for swsusp, because during swsusp resume, BIOS is
 run normally so video card is normally initialized. S3 has absolutely
 no change to work with SMP/HT. Be sure it to turn it off before
 testing (swsusp should work ok, OTOH).
 
 There are few types of systems where video works after S3 resume:
 
 (1) systems where video state is preserved over S3.
 
 (2) systems where it is possible to call video bios during S3
   resume. Unfortunately, it is not correct to call video BIOS at that
   point, but it happens to work on some machines. Use
   acpi_sleep=s3_bios.
 
 (3) systems that initialize video card into vga text mode and where BIOS
   works well enough to be able to set video mode. Use
   acpi_sleep=s3_mode on these.
 
 (4) on some systems s3_bios kicks video into text mode, and
   acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode is needed.
 
 (5) radeon systems, where X can soft-boot your video card. You'll need
   patched X, and plain text console (no vesafb or radeonfb), see
   http://www.doesi.gmxhome.de/linux/tm800s3/s3.html.

(5) machines should also work with (6), but not the other way round.

 
 (6) other radeon systems, where vbetool is enough to bring system back
   to life. Do vbetool vbestate save  /tmp/delme; echo 3  /proc/acpi/sleep;
   vbetool post; vbetool vbestate restore  /tmp/delme; setfont
   whatever, and your video should work.

(6) has to be done from a text console! It should work for all radeon
systems, btw.

 
 Now, if you pass acpi_sleep=something, and it does not work with your
 bios, you'll get hard crash during resume. Be carefull. Also it is
 safest to do your experiments with plain old VGA console. vesafb and
 radeonfb (etc) drivers have tendency to crash the machine during resume.
 
 You may have system where none of above works. At that point you
 either invent another ugly hack that works, or write proper driver for
 your video card (good luck getting docs :-(). Maybe suspending from X
 (proper X, knowing your hardware, not XF68_FBcon) might have better
 chance of working.
