This is to conflict against older versions of NSC that include overlapping PCI ID numbers.

I have also asked Marc Tardif to do a local install test, to check whether this symlink breaks anything for users who aren't using LTSP's Xorg -configure, since that's the use case (users with a static xorg.conf who are upgrading) where we potentially have a regression from 8.04. *Only* if Marc reports that it works for him with the symlink present, I will accept the symlink-ing package into -proposed. (If he reports that it doesn't work, then presumably the symlink won't provide any benefit to users with static xorg.conf, either.) I'll give this to the end of day today (UTC-7) to be resolved; if we don't reach a resolution, I'll default to the package currently in -proposed which does not include the symlink. FWIW, I agree with you in principle that leaving the symbolic link there is postponing the inevitable; unfortunately, we have to contend with the fact that this symbolic link did *not* get dropped prior to the release of Ubuntu 8.04, and dropping it now may represent a regression for users who are already an Ubuntu 8.04.

ok, actually adding/removing the link manually instead of assuming the package does it helps to verify. if the symlink is there in LTSP Xorg -configure fails completely, locking the device (you can switch consoles but the boot stalls and no getty's or X come up, you are left with a blinking cursor at the top left of a black terminal). since the only purpose of Xorg -configure is to create a basic xorg.conf the ltsp scripts can parse to replace values, it is also not possible to use lts.conf variables like XSERVER=geode here. the only solution apart from removing the -amd package (which should then remove the symlink) will be to use a pregenerated xorg.conf. both solutions sadly also require a resource intensive rebuild of the client image with ltsp-update-image to take effect. -- please add geode to driver list in hw/xfree86/common/xf86AutoConfig.c https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219630 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Can we please pinpoint what's different between the systems where it broke for you, and the system where Oliver found that it worked fine with the symlink?

Oliver hasn't specified the system on which he tested this, so I cannot comment on his results. However, I have tested this on a variety of Geode-based systems by a variety of vendors and found the exact same behavior on each of them: that leaving the symbolic link confuses X, while removing it makes LTSP work where it previously didn't and doesn't affect operation on standalone hosts that don't use a static config (hosts with a static config need their config updated because of the X anyhow). As for the symbolic link, after trying various approaches, I have come to the conclusion that removing it and expecting users to upgrade their static config (if any - not everyone uses it) once for all was the best approach, while leaving the symbolic link there only postpones the unavoidable day when the config has to be upgraded. It also removes the confusion that X experiences with the -configure option. I'll also point out that blacklisting the framebuffer is entirely the wrong approach and essentially moves the problem to another package where it doesn't belong. Besides, on some systems, such as the OLPC, the driver is *expected* to leverage the framebuffer. -- please add geode to driver list in hw/xfree86/common/xf86AutoConfig.c https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219630 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 219630] Re: please add geode to driver list in hw/xfree86/common/xf86AutoConfig.c
xserver-xorg-video-geode accepted into -proposed, please test. There are two issues that I've noted in the latest upload: - xserver-xorg-video-amd is made to conflict/replace older versions of xserver-xorg-video-geode. I don't see any justification for this; there are no file conflicts between the two packages (since the -amd package is now essentially empty!); if the intent was to ensure that the -geode package is upgraded, it would have been more appropriate to use a versioned depends. In practice, I don't believe this is enough of an issue to block pushing to -proposed (or to -updates). - Bryce has re-raised the question of whether dropping the amd_drv.so symlink is appropriate/necessary. It *will* be a regression for anyone who was using a static xorg.conf successfully with Driver amd in 8.04, as this config will suddenly stop working. Now, it may be the case that the set of users who are able to use Driver amd successfully in 8.04 is zero, in which case this change makes sense and is not a regression; but so far, the only justification given is that the symlink somehow causes problems for LTSP users, who are a subset of Ubuntu users and not the only use case that needs to be taken into account in an SRU. Resolution of this latter issue is a condition of considering this SRU verified, and it should not be copied to -updates until we have a definitive answer here. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-geode (Ubuntu Hardy) Status: In Progress = Fix Committed -- please add geode to driver list in hw/xfree86/common/xf86AutoConfig.c https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219630 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 219630] Re: please add geode to driver list in hw/xfree86/common/xf86AutoConfig.c
Here's a version with those two issues addressed. Hopefully this is deployable. I've also uploaded this to hardy-proposed. My question about dropping the symlink is mostly a curiosity if with all the other adjustments we've made, if whatever the original issue is has been addressed, and no longer requires dropping the link for amd_drv.so. I can't seem to find a decent description of the original problem that prompted dropping the link as a solution, so it's hard to understand if dropping it is still necessary. Therefore, I would suggest we deploy this version without that omission, let the LTSP people test, and if they still have trouble, to file a better bug report about it so we can understand what the actual problem is. ** Attachment added: xserver-xorg-video-geode_2.9.0-1ubuntu2.2.debdiff-2 http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15637237/xserver-xorg-video-geode_2.9.0-1ubuntu2.2.debdiff-2 -- please add geode to driver list in hw/xfree86/common/xf86AutoConfig.c https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219630 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 219630] Re: please add geode to driver list in hw/xfree86/common/xf86AutoConfig.c
I'm not happy to see the debian build system changes in the -nsc SRU;
they should be almost entirely irrelevant, but in the process they still
introduce a risk of regression. This is not something that should ever
be included in an SRU, and if I approve it it's only because I feel I'm
wasting my time trying to get a minimal diff when this point has already
been made to no avail, and we might as well accept the package into
-proposed and regression-test it there.
Given the late landing, therefore, I believe this SRU should be held
until after 8.04.1 is buildable from hardy-updates only.
BTW, it's also very confusing to have a patch which changes, and then
/comments out/ a line; it took me far too long to parse this:
-+ awk '/^#define.*PCI_CHIP/ {print $$3}' ${srcdir}/nsc_driver.c | sed -e
's/0x/1078/' nsc.ids
-+ awk '/^#define.*PCI_CHIP/ {print $$3}' ${srcdir}/nsc_driver.c | sed -e
's/0x/100B/' nsc.ids
++ awk '/^#define.*PCI_CHIP/ {print $$3}' ${srcdir}/nsc_driver.c | sort -u
| grep -v 0030 | sed -e 's/0x/100B/' nsc.ids
++# awk '/^#define.*PCI_CHIP/ {print $$3}' ${srcdir}/nsc_driver.c | sort -u
| grep -v 0030 | sed -e 's/0x/1078/' nsc.ids
because I kept overlooking the '#' at the beginning of that line...
Since this changes which driver is being used for a set of chips, which
AIUI aren't unsupported by nsc they're just supported better by the
cyrix driver, SRU validation needs to include feedback from users of
these precise chips. (Ideally, the SRU justification would also include
explicit pointers to the problems with using the nsc driver instead of
the cyrix driver, which AFAICS is completely absent here.) This also
contributes to making this an inappropriate change to include at the
last minute before 8.04.1.

[Bug 219630] Re: please add geode to driver list in hw/xfree86/common/xf86AutoConfig.c
Steve, I have kept the diff as small as humanely possible. This being said, fixing both packaging issues and hardware issues within the scope of the same SRU has not been easy. My apologies if it's still too big to fit the constraints of an SRU. One important thing to keep in mind is to avoid PCI ID conflicts in X.org at all cost. Right now, we have some in 8.04.0 and they prevent LTSP from operating normally with any Geode hardware covered by any of those 3 drivers. Given this, waiting until until 8.04.2 to fix this is out of the question. Instead, we need to find a compromise that is mutually acceptable to everyone, to get this into 8.04.1 now, especially given how we need to get all 3 changes in at the same time, because of versioned Conflicts present in 2 of the 3 packages (xserver-xorg-video-all, xserver-xorg- video-geode, xserver-video-nsc) I proposed for this SRU. I suppose that I could revert the Debian build system changes made by Brice Goglin, but I feel uneasy doing so, because the Debian XSF scripts are a real mess that I simply cannot work with. I'll instead trust that Brice made his changes right and accept them verbatim, minus one small change to make this build on Hardy dependencies. I welcome your thoughts on any last- minute change that the Ubuntu X team or myself could implement to make this more acceptable for this SRU. As for hardware testing, I have only access to hardware covered by NSC and GEODE drivers. The above fix restores the operation on those. I unfortunately don't have access to CYRIX hardware. -- please add geode to driver list in hw/xfree86/common/xf86AutoConfig.c https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219630 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 219630] Re: please add geode to driver list in hw/xfree86/common/xf86AutoConfig.c
I've reviewed the -geode package in -proposed, and discussed this with Martin-Eric on IRC. Documenting the outcome of that discussion here. There are two changes that should be made to the -geode SRU if possible: - The changelog is incomplete, it doesn't document the fact that the previously-removed PCI ID is now re-added. This seems to be caused by an ambiguous comment from Martin. :) - The description of the -amd transitional package now suggests that static xorg.conf should be updated before purging the package. In fact, a static xorg.conf will be broken as soon as the transitional package is /installed/. This should be clarified to reduce confusion. We also discussed the -nsc package further, and I've agreed to accept a reduced SRU for 8.04.1 that *only* drops the geode PCI ID, a change which has been tested elsewhere and a case which is known to be broken today. The cyrix PCI IDs should not be changed this close to the point release. -- please add geode to driver list in hw/xfree86/common/xf86AutoConfig.c https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219630 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Martin-Eric, the geode debdiff in comment 14 (http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15171834/debdiff_xf86-video-geode.txt) looks ok, and I already ack'ed this. Your new debdiff in comment 27 is huge again, and again changes a lot of unrelated things (build system, etc.) and also has an inappropriate changelog delta. Again: For SRUs, there should be *one* changelog entry with an appropriate description (readable by mere-mortal computer users) with an LP: #xx bug reference, and a minimal patch. So is the previous debdiff still valid? nsc: still huge. Getting the new upstream version is ok for me (since it's a sharply focused device driver), and thus the autotools/libtool noise is ok, but changing all the packaging underneath it seems dangerous to me (debian/xsfbs/*.mk). How do these changes influence the build and the generated .debs? To finally get this SRU done, I really advise you to prepare a proper SRU for hardy, instead of just keep preparing intrepid/unstable backports. Take the new upstream version, use the hardy packaging, and just apply the patches which are necessary, this will make it much easier to review, and much less prone to regressions.

Things that need to happen to really fix this for Hardy: 1) make xserver-xorg-video-all stop depending on -amd and start depending on -geode. 2) import an updated Debian version of -nsc that removes conflicting PCI ID. What's in Intrepid cannot build as-is, because Hardy has an old dpkg-dev, so I modified this as per the package in my PPA. 3) import an updated Debian version of -geode that completely eliminates the symbolic links to amd_drv.so and amd.ids, and reintroduces the PCI ID for GX2 hardware. This must include a warning to users who are upgrading to update their static xorg.conf if they have one. Optionally, it could use the new 2.10.0 upstream which adds support for OLPC hardware, but this is not a must.

Since this involves changes to 3 packages, let's address those separately: 1) xorg metapackage: Depending on the transitional -amd package is the wrong thing to do.

Another consequence of this cherry-picking, as opposed to simply
importing existing changes where all issues have been dealt with, is
that it's easy to forget parts of the solution.
In this particular case, GEODE misses a Conflicts: xserver-xorg-video-

Adding this might have some beneficial side-effects, but appears to be ignored by Debian/Ubuntu in favor of the DRIVER.ids file provided by each chipset driver. Marking as invalid for xorg-server, since fixing this really requires updated -geode and -nsc instead.

[Bug 219630] Re: please add geode to driver list in hw/xfree86/common/xf86AutoConfig.c
Please see my PPA for updated XSERVER-XORG-CORE, NSC and GEODE packages: NSC: Required one change from Debian, because Hardy has an older version of debhelper. Otherwise, pretty much usable as-is. The main change it introduces is the elimination of PCI ID for non-NSC devices from the nsc.ids it ships. Everything else is to bring the deprecated package in line with recent Debian policy changes. GEODE: is a backport of 2.10.0, which includes both the BIOS-less DDC polling from 2.9.0, plus the addition of support for the OLPC XO-1 and several bug fixes. Since supporting new hardware is suitable for an SRU, I'm hereby nominating this for Hardy.1 release. XSERVER-XORG-CORE: I have made exactly one change to the Hardy metapackage, to replace the dependency on AMD with a dependency on GEODE. The rest is identical. NOTE: several users have confirmed that the only to succeed in getting the GEODE and NSC drivers to work in LTSP is by upgrading to the combination of above drivers and updated X core. The key problem seems to be that the backward-compatibility symbolic link between geode_drv.so and amd_drv.so doesn't work as intended on Debian/Ubuntu (it works as expected on other distributions), plus the GX2 code in NSC simply doesn't work as advertised, which requires letting GEODE handle it. Also, the metapackage's dependency on the transitional package (which contains those symbolic links) seems to hinder one's chances of letting APT autoremove it. -- please add geode to driver list in hw/xfree86/common/xf86AutoConfig.c https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219630 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 219630] Re: please add geode to driver list in hw/xfree86/common/xf86AutoConfig.c
As per comment #9 (which Martin-Eric and I have discussed separately), the patch to xserver that this sru was originally filed for is not necessary. Like it was said in #9, Debian uses an entirely different mechanism for detecting pci ids, so patching support into the xserver is unnecessary, and this AFAWK the 2:1.4.1~git20080131-1ubuntu9.1 changeset can be dropped as an SRU candidate. The change is not incorrect, it's just probably harmlessly irrelevant; if we find otherwise we may re- introduce the patch, but if so it should first be verified in Intrepid as actually needed. I would recommend that new SRU's be opened each for the -geode and -nsc updates. It sounds from pitti's review like the patches need further baking and positive verification in Intrepid before bringing to the SRU team. Once those bugs are opened, this SRU can be closed as invalid. -- please add geode to driver list in hw/xfree86/common/xf86AutoConfig.c https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219630 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Since finding out about this, I have produced two proposed fixes, both sitting in my PPA: 1) an updated -geode package that uses the Debian/Ubuntu-specific method. This package also moves the backward-compatibility symbolic links to the -amd transitional package, because they were found to cause more hard than good, but might still be useful to people initially upgrading from earlier Ubuntu releases that offered -amd. 2) an updated -nsc package that removes some PCI ID that conflict with the -cyrix and -geode packages.

What you have is technically an ION 503. Linutop uses another ION variant with an LX800 instead. The NSC driver has a PCI ID conflict with the GEODE driver, because the GX2 was originally manufactured by NSC. The result is that GX2 support is currently very sketchy in NSC and disabled in GEODE. We are working on a remedy that would involve importing support for older Geode models into the GEODE driver. This is scheduled to happen sometimes at the end of this year.
