[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1664531] [NEW] xf86-video-r128 6.10.0 breaks rage 128 pro ultra
Public bug reported: I ran into this bug on Xenial LTS which left xorg unable to start. It was fixed upstream in 6.10.1, so when I installed the the hwe package, it worked just fine. Perhaps LTS needs to be updated to the hwe? This bug is particularly frustrating because xorg fails without an obvious problem. There wasn't much to search for, so it took me days before I happened across the bug report at netbsd.org. I'd say that makes for an even more compelling case to update the LTS package. What happens is that xorg immediately exits. Xorg.0.log shows a normal startup, finds a bunch of modes, and then exits with the message, "(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration." without any indication of modes being rejected. I tried all sorts of workarounds vaguely related to mode detection, but none of them would work. Here's the mailing list discussion surrounding the bug. The Xorg.0.log excerpts in the discussion were exactly what I saw here, so I'll just refer to that: http://gnats.netbsd.org/50599 Let me know if I need to use ubuntu-bug xserver-xorg-video-r128 Failed: xserver-xorg-video-r128_6.10.0-1build2 Works: xserver-xorg-video-r128-hwe-16.04_6.10.1-1~16.04.1 lsb_release -rd: Description:Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS Release:16.04 lspci -kv: 03:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 994203] Re: Xorg freeze with Nouveau drivers
I'm seeing the same behavior (screen freeze, mouse still movable) from nvidia.

I have similar troubles. The freezes were less frequent when I upgraded to kernel 3.4.0-030400-generic but they still occur.

Steve, you should probably file a new bug.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 553415] Re: mouse trapped in box for Open Motif
So, just to be pedantic, where are we on this? Sebastien, you asked Chris to sponsor this... were you talking to me or another Chris? Has it been appropriately sponsored? Timo says it's now in the proposed queue... does that mean there's nothing left to do but wait for the queue to be acted upon? -- mouse trapped in box for Open Motif https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/553415 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Any news on the Lucid SRU? Is Timo watching this bug? There is a class of users who are completely sunk by this bug. If backporting 1.7.7 is going to take a while, I'd suggest just putting this fix through now. -- mouse trapped in box for Open Motif https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/553415 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 553415] Re: mouse trapped in box for Open Motif
Alright, so where are we on the SRU? Going through the checklist, 1) Fix released in Maverick 2) Impact of bug: rightclick in many (all?) motif/lesstif applications disables the computer --How the bug is addressed: small patch to X that other distributions accepted long ago --Patch against stable: see above or my ppa --Instructions for reproduction: open any (?) motif application, or install medm from my ppa, and rightclick inside of it --Regression potential: seems small because of the short patch and aformentioned inclusion in other distributions, as well as my own testing in a heterogeneous mix of computers 3) Nominated for release, and I just subscribed ubuntu-sru 4) Upload to release-proposed... I don't know how, but again, I uploaded the patched xorg-server to my ppa so hopefully someone who does know how can grab it from there. Also, I believe the diff is attached above.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 553415] Re: mouse trapped in box for Open Motif
Quick pedantic note (since I received questions about it): this is not fixed in the 1.7.6-2ubuntu7.3 lucid-proposed release that superseded the patched build in my ppa. I'll upload a 7.4~ppa0 as soon as I can. Is there any sort of status update on the SRU request? I was contacted by a developer of an application used by "thousands of scientists around the world" whose program is killed by this bug.
