linux 2.6.0-pre11, XFree fails to start
Hello all, I have an intermitent bug on my computer (intel PIV, shuttle motherboard, integrated i845 video card): sometimes, at boot time, XFree (4.3.0, from redhat 9 package) fails to start. The screen goes black (or, more precisely, darkgrey) as the video mode is changed, and stays there forever. Keyboard is not responding (not even caps-lock or sysrq), and I have to reboot the computer. There is nothing in the log, the only information are the last lines written by the XServer in /var/log/XFree86.0.log: (II) I810(0): xf86BindGARTMemory: bind key 5 at 0x067f8000 (pgoffset 26616) (II) I810(0): xf86BindGARTMemory: bind key 6 at 0x066f8000 (pgoffset 26360) (II) I810(0): xf86BindGARTMemory: bind key 7 at 0x05278000 (pgoffset 21112) (II) I810(0): Before: SWF1 is 0x0108 (II) I810(0): After: SWF1 is 0x0108 On a normal boot, those lines are followed by: (II) I810(0): Display plane A is enabled. (II) I810(0): Display plane B is disabled. (II) I810(0): PIPEACONF is 0x8000 There is nothing peculiar in the logs of the kernel. As I said, the bug is intermitent. I should say it happens every three or four boots. Before 2.6.0-pre11, I have been using 2.6.0-pre8 and -pre9, and I don't remember this problem happening. Or if it did occur, it was much less frequent. Maybe I should go back to 2.6.0-pre9 to be sure. I really don't know how to debug a hard lock like this, or how to find usefull information. Every interesting information on my computer (config files, lspci, log of XFree, etc.) is available on http://perso.nerim.net/~tudia/bug-reports/.

Re: [Xpert]i810/i830 CVS Xserver 4.2 kdm logout hangs

Basically 2 out of 3 times when I logout of kde/kdm my sony Vaio laptop (PCG-R505X/PD) hangs, completely. No Ctrl-alt-backspace, no ctrl-alt-F1, no gentle reboot from short press of the power button. Basically the only escape is to hold the power button down for 5 seconds and the machine powers down, losing unflushed file buffers etc, trashing inodes and whathave you. All a bit inconvenient really. basically at logout from kde, the screen turns blank, sometimes the mouse cursor remains active for a couple of seconds on the blanked screen, before freezing in place as the whole machine locks up. I just want to say that I have the same kind of problems with a toshiba S3000-X11 (the graphic card is a i830MG) with XFree-4.2 (official binaries) on a redhat 4.2 with different custom kernels. I believe it is a total lockup because the machine no longer responds to pings, telnet, ftp,ssh iether. The difference is that it happens rarerly (once every 20 or 30 times, maybe even less), and that I have never tried to check if the laptop was responding or not by ethernet.

Using the official binaries for XFree86 4.2 and the latest kernel found on rawhide, it works beautifuly. I just had to declare 32Mo of videoram in my XF86Config, and I have 1024x768 true colour, and the 3D (tuxracer) working. This works only if the BIOS is configured to preset 8MB of (stolen) video ram, but not all laptop vendors do that. This is indeed the case.

[Xpert]Dual Head on i830MG
Hello all, I have bought a toshiba Satellite 3000 X11 laptop with an intel i830MG graphic board. With Windows XP, I can use this computer in a dual-head configuration: the laptop screen and an external screen on the vga port can display different pictures. I would like to do the same thing with linux. I am using the official binaries of XFree 4.2.0, with the linux kernel 2.4.17 patched by redhat available on rawhide. Looking at the log of the X server, I found the lines (--) PCI:*(0:2:0) Intel i830M rev 3, Mem @ 0xe800/27, 0xe000/19 (--) PCI: (0:2:1) Intel i830M rev 0, Mem @ 0xf000/27, 0xe008/19 Does this mean that the i830MG board is like two i830M boards ? To test this, I write in my XF86Config file: Section ServerLayout Identifier Anaconda Configured Screen 0 Screen0 0 0 Screen 1 Screen1 RightOf Screen0 InputDeviceMouse0 CorePointer InputDeviceKeyboard0 CoreKeyboard EndSection [...] Section Device Identifier Intel 830 MG Driver i810 VendorName Intel BoardName Intel 830 BusID PCI:0:2:0 EndSection [...] Section Device Identifier Intel 830 MG 2 Driver i810 VendorName Intel BoardName Intel 830 BusID PCI:0:2:1 EndSection (And, of course, Screen0 references Intel 830 MG and Screen1 references Intel 830 MG 2) Here are some selected lines of the logs: (**) I810(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32 (==) I810(0): RGB weight 888 (==) I810(0): Default visual is TrueColor (WW) I810(0): Bad V_BIOS checksum (II) I810(0): Primary V_BIOS segment is: 0xc000 (--) I810(0): Chipset: i830 (--) I810(0): Linear framebuffer at 0xE800 (--) I810(0): IO registers at addr 0xE000 (II) I810(0): detected 8192K stolen memory.

And it doesn't work: I only have one screen working. So, what should I do ? What is this V_BIOS thing ? Am I correct when I assume that the two screens correspond to the two devices, or has the device on 0:2:1 nothing to do with a graphic card ? What is this Pipe A in the log (Currently active displays on Pipe A:) ? Is there a Pipe B that I should somehow activate ? I am pretty much in the dark and the documentation about the i810 driver seems a bit outdated. I am not sure that all of you would love having my full config file and full log, but, of course, I can send them inprivate to anyone interested.
