I did a quick test with an up to date Karmic and Martin's PPA, X starts
correctly as long as geode is selected as driver.
There is no need of any additional option, though the driver reports screen
resolution that are supported by the monitor but the video card can't render
(such as 1680x1050),
Stéphane Graber reports in bug #270912 that Geode 2.11.4.1 (currently in
my PPA) resolves this issue for him.
FYI, maximum resolutions supported by the GX2 Red Cloud Geode are:
CRT: 1600x1200
TFT: 1280x1024

Fixes for GX2 support probably need to be backported to Jaunty and
Intrepid, maybe even Hardy. However, I have no GX2 hardware to test
with (I only have GX1 and LX hardware on hand), so I'm unable to verify
which Ubuntu releases need this fix backported.

I can report basically the same, this issue seems to be resolved, geode
driver loads correctly, no errors visible in Xorg.0.log. However I still
have the strange problem of a totally black screen when the driver
loads, tested on one 1920x1200 and one 1024x768 TFT (it maybe related to

Stéphane: could you also install the source package for xorg-server-
core and produce a new trace? This would allow GDB to show us the actual
content of line 79 in privates.c that causes the crash. Thanks!

Thanks for your reply, Martin-Eric, and of course your kind words
according to the problem ;-)
Do you know of any simple (and really basic) USB-Boot-Xorg-Debug-
Version that I could use for the Geode Thin Client for general testing?
The client doesn't have a hard disk and only 512 MB of RAM,
Robert, I'm sorry but I don't know of any mini USB-based distro to
quickly test this driver. The best I can think of is to follow these
instructions to install the test package and rebuild your LTSP chroot:
$ sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386
Add the repository, then update and upgrade:
# echo deb
Ah thanks I will try that, in the meantime I can check the driver easier
with a compile in tinycore linux, does the file xserver-xorg-video-
geode_2.11.3~git20090818.orig.tar.gz contain the latest changes? If so,
I can say that it already compiles fine and I will test it in the

Robert, thanks for keeping in touch about this bug.
To be honest, GX2 support has somewhat fallen behind since most Geode
hardware manufacturers have switched to the LX series which, in turn,
means that only that section of the code is kept alive.
As such, we can really use all the developer and
@Martin-Éric:
Just wanted to let you know that this bug is still alive ;-)
First I tried xf86-video-geode-2.10.1, then recompiled latest 2.11.3 -
still the same crash with dixSetPrivate and GXRandRInit on GX2 hardware,
though I must admit that I'm using xorg-server 1.6.1 with tinycore 2.2

I might be wrong, but recent GX2-specific fixes committed by Otavio
Salvator and included in 2.11.3 might fix this. Could someone with GX2
hardware test this?

I'll give it a try with Karmic when I have some free time.
A workaround for LTSP users has been uploaded matching that PCIID and forcing
VESA instead of Geode.
Performances will be significantly slower but X will at least work.

Thanks for the complete backtrace.
Looking at the code, it's not evident what's causing the crash:
#0 0x08072df3 in dixSetPrivate (privates=0x85ccba0, key=0xb78a0b90,
val=0x85e4f18) at ../../dix/privates.c:79
From the dixSetPrivate() routine's code, the segfault must be due to
something invalid
