Re: [Bug 217004] Re: install failure (regression) with ProSavageDDR graphics chipset
I've been unable to report the bug on the vesa driver - Launchpad won't let me report any new bugs! BTW this system is set up to triple-boot into XP, Ubuntu, and FreeBSD 7.1. I just set up Xorg and Gnome on the FreeBSD partition - and the vesa driver on that behaves the same way - the system locks up on exiting from Gnome. I haven't tried the savage driver on that system, if it has one. On Fri, Aug 14, 2009 at 6:22 PM, Peter Belew wrote: > Tormod - installing your savage driver solved the problem.

Re: [Bug 217004] Re: install failure (regression) with ProSavageDDR graphics chipset
Tormod - installing your savage driver solved the problem. After installing it, I disabled Xorg running at runlevel 2 by renaming the symlink to gdm in /etc/rc2.d and restarting the system (with the reset button this time), then booting and determining that 'reboot' works properly from the shell, with Xorg and the vesa driver disabled. I changed 'vesa' to 'savage' in xorg.conf, and tried startx from my user account, and determined that shutdown worked fine. Then I renamed the symlink back again, and rebooted again. After that, I can logout, switch to a console and back, reboot, etc properly. I'll submit that as a bug against the vesa driver. (Actually I didn't try the savage driver that comes with 8.04 LTS - I understand the fixes didn't get into a release before Jaunty).

Thanks, Tormod - I just downloaded xserver-xorg-video- savage_2.3.1~git20090813.36ab23a9-0ubuntu0tormod~hardy_i386.deb to my laptop ... is that the right one?

[Bug 217004] Re: install failure (regression) with ProSavageDDR graphics chipset
I recently did a new installation on the gBox computer mentioned above. It now runs hardy 8.04.3 LTS with a vesa driver - I installed it by installing first 6.06.1 LTS (in safe mode with screen resolution specified explicitly) then upgrading. This system works, but crashes when switching to a text console, when logging out (to switch to another user), and when shutting down. I was able to install apache2, php, an ssh server, and make a web site work, etc. I'll file a separate detailed bug report when Launchpad allows me to do so. -- install failure (regression) with ProSavageDDR graphics chipset https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217004 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 217004] Re: install failure (regression) with ProSavageDDR graphics chipset
Hugh, what I did is that I installed from the Ubuntu 8.10 server CD. IIRC I then installed GNOME manually with apt-get (which of course pulled in X11) and used an old xorg.conf file. -- install failure (regression) with ProSavageDDR graphics chipset https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217004 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

Is there a fix for Intrepid? I'm trying to install Mythbuntu 8.10 and have hit this problem. I duplicated the problem with Ubuntu 8.10. (For what it is worth, Fedora 10 has this problem too.) -- install failure (regression) with ProSavageDDR graphics chipset https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217004 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

I can confirm that your patch (xserver-xorg-video-savage_2.2.1+git20081230.aea0496f-0ubuntu0tormod4_i386.deb) fix the startup problem. Today I installed jaunty on a pc with a S3 ProSavage8 (KM266/KL266) graphic card and X didn't start. So I search on launchpad for a bug report and found this one. I installed your patch and X starts now as expected.

[Bug 217004] Re: install failure (regression) with ProSavageDDR graphics chipset
Yes, you can install the driver on the live CD (explained in comment 26) but installing Jaunty is good also. You get poor resolution because the EDID information from the monitor can not be retrieved, and X falls back to conservative settings. You will need to add sync ranges to your xorg.conf manually. You can file a new bug on this, although I don't think there's anything we can do about it. There will be a GUI for adjusting this, probably in Jaunty+1. However, the startup failure seems to be fixed by the patch in my PPA which is also applied upstream, so I'll mark this bug Fix Committed. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-savage (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed -- install failure (regression) with ProSavageDDR graphics chipset https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217004 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 217004] Re: install failure (regression) with ProSavageDDR graphics chipset
Ok, done. Well, I didn't try installing your package on the live CD system (I'd be surprised if that's possible), but I made a jaunty alpha 3 install on a disk partition that has no valuable data. I had to use the "alternate" install CD for this: Installation with the "desktop" CD totally fails without "safe graphics mode" (the CD boots to a shell prompt, without any indication of how to start an installation) and crashes even in "safe graphics mode", probably due to an xserver bug, as follows: The installation appears to proceed ok until after "importing documents and setting". Then the screen goes black, the monitor goes into power save mode (this happens even if I am moving the mouse curser at that moment), then there is some brief cdrom drive activity, then everything is silent.I believe that this is an xserver bug because when I first booted by successfully installed jaunty alpha 3 system (installed with the "alternate" install CD) and booted for the first time, I didn't use the "text" boot option, then the following happened: I got a warning popup about "low resolution graphics mode", where IIRC I clicked "cancel"... I got a message "stand by for one minute while the display restarts", then the screen went black in the same manner again with the monitor going into power save mode. Then I remembered your advice to boot with "text" as an additional boot parameter, so I did that, and successfully tested your package -- both the tormod3 and the tormod4 version. Results were identical. startx works, although the resolution is still unpleasantly low IMO. I'm attaching the Xorg.0.log from running startx using the tormod4 version. Thank you for your work on this bug! ** Attachment added: "Xorg.0.log from running startx after having installed xserver-xorg-video-savage_2.2.1+git20081230.aea0496f-0ubuntu0tormod4_i386.deb on jaunty alpha 3" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21548721/Xorg.0.log -- install failure (regression) with ProSavageDDR graphics chipset https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217004 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
