[Bug 899244] Re: GMA500 psb_gfx

2012-04-17 Thread KEYofR
[quote]The backlight works WITHOUT the poulsbo driver.

well works with a script to manage brightness as my function keys do
not always work, even with the kernel options acpi_backlight=vendor and
acpi_osi=Linux.[/quote]

How does this work exactly?

I have precise beta and kernel 3.2.0-23-generic-pae on a Vaio P and using 
psb_gfx and lxde.
When I press the bright/dim hot keys lxde (or openbox? x?) recognizes it and 
displays a little popup showing a brightness change indicator, but the 
brightness does not actually change.

This worked fine on oneiric using emgd 1.8 on the same machine a few
weeks ago up until I upgraded to precise beta and switched to psb_gfx.

If psb_gfx has backlight support, how do I use it?

It would be nice to have a proper fix instead of a workaround.. this way the 
livecd could work out of the box
also for those people that don't know about this issue and how to bypass it.

yes the driver is working but screen stays black.  I tried adding
console=tty1 but the screen stays black. But additionally switching
ttys shortly (with Ctrl+Alt+F1 and Ctrl+Alt+F7) gets me to the login

Looks like Stefan got there first, but here is 'sudo lspci -vnvn' from
my Dell Inspiron Mini 10, just in case they are different.

This output was collected running 12.04 Beta 1 live USB.  Booting got as
far as static text, then the desktop was started by crtl-alt-f1; sudo
rmmod poulsbo; sudo modprobe psb_gfx; startx.

Things are running very quickly and smoothly.  Brightness keys work.  No
wireless (broadcom), but sure that can be fixed on full install.  Can't
test suspend/hibernate on live disk, but that is the feature I'm looking
forward to most.

Attached output of `sudo lspci -vnvn` on a Dell Inspiron Mini 10.

psb_gfx is loaded on boot, but when lightdm first launces, X only covers
the top half of the screen, the lower half is still console messages
from the boot process. Also the mouse pointer can't escape from the top
half. This is resolved by switching on a different terminal and
restarting lightdm.

2012-03-02 Thread bodhi.zazen
Leann -

This is still not working in 12.04 Beta 1 ., the poulsbo driver
continues to be loaded and conflicts with the psb_gfx, and has to then
be blacklisted.

Can you provide more information or a link to a bug report regarding
There were some concerns raised with the original solution of
completely disabling the poulsbo driver. Specifically, what concerns?
Everyone with a gma500 is blacklisting the module, so who is using the
module and what for ?

In addition, if there is a problem with the poulsbo driver it should
probably be reported upstream, to kernel.org (rather then some sort of
work around in the module-init-tools).

I posted on the kernel.org mailing list on this problem (poulsbo
conflicting with psb_gfx) before I filed this bug report, will try to
find it.

My post to the Fedora mailing list - 
http://www.mail-archive.com/kernel@lists.fedoraproject.org/msg01244.html
No concerns were raised by the Fedora kernel team and my gma500 is working in 
the Fedroa 17 alpha release.


For now I filed a New bug report with bugzilla.kernel.org against the
poulsbo / psb_gfx conflict

2012-03-02 Thread Leann Ogasawara
Hi Bodhi,

Apologies for this still being an issue with Beta-1.  As you've noticed,
no solution has been committed at the moment.

I'd actually committed the original idea of completely disabling the
poulsbo driver.  At the time the team was physically together for a face
to face meeting and one of the other Ubuntu kernel team developers
voiced their concern of completely disabling the poulsbo driver.  In the
event the psb_gfx driver was not sufficiently working (as it is/was a
staging driver) we would prevent a user from falling back to use the
poulsbo driver as it would be completely disabled.  By blacklisting the
poulsbo driver in module-init-tools, they at least still have the option
to manually load the poulsbo driver.  Unfortunately this conversation
took place face to face so there wasn't anything written/documented for
me to point you at.

I completely agree that if there are issues with either driver, we
should be notifying upstream.

If you could point me to your LKML thread about this that would be
great.  Especially if there is a newer patch upstream with

Also, just curious what the specific vendor:device id is for your
GMA500?  Is it's either of the 8086:8108 or 8086:8109 which overlaps
with both drivers?  If so, I think I could have a much stronger argument
to convince the other devs on the team that completely disabling the
poulsbo driver in favor of psb_gfx should be realitvely safe as I'd have
your test confirmation to prove it.

Thanks.  I do want to get this fixed one way or another before Beta-2.

The name is very poor, but the poulsbo driver is not a video driver ,
it is a driver for the backlight

From the help:

Symbol: STUB_POULSBO [=n]   
  │
  │ Type  : tristate
  │
  │ Prompt: Intel GMA500 Stub Driver
  │
  │   Defined at drivers/gpu/stub/Kconfig:1 
  │

  │
  │   Selects: BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE [=y]  VIDEO_OUTPUT_CONTROL [=m]  
INPUT [=y]  ACPI 

So if the psb_gfx were to fail, it falls back to VESA , or fails
completely (depends on the kernel), but it does not fall back to the
poulsbo driver.

The backlight works WITHOUT the poulsbo driver.

well works with a script to manage brightness as my function keys do
not always work, even with the kernel options acpi_backlight=vendor and
acpi_osi=Linux. Honestly I am not sure what the poulsbo driver is used
for, AFIK it can be completely removed.

[Bug 899244] Re: GMA500 psb_gfx

2012-03-02 Thread Lucazade
The poulsbo driver is just a stub module that enables the acpi video support 
for the panel brightness.
This feature is already present inside the psb_gfx driver.

The poulsbo module is loaded before the psb_gfx 'stealing' the pciid and not 
allowing the psb_gfx module
to start up and open the framebuffer.  that's why there is a conflict. 

I don't see any reason to preserve the stub poulsbo, psb_gfx already provides 
brightness support for every
gma500/600 device. Is not useful also for the EMGD binary drivers provided by 
Intel.

Wish I could edit my comments, the poulsbo driver is not a graphical
driver, it has nothing to do with X, it is a low level driver that
claims to be used by the backlight, but in practice it does not used by
the gma500. It seems to be a poorly named driver.

When the poulsbo kernel module is loaded at boot, as it is now with
12.04, X fails completely (no VESA, no graphical interface, just a
command prompt).

You can start X / lightdm with

rmmod poulsbo
depmod psb_gfx
/etc/init.d/lisghtdm restart

2012-02-29 Thread Leann Ogasawara
Hi All,

There were some concerns raised with the original solution of completely
disabling the poulsbo driver.  As an alternative, it was suggested to
blacklist it instead.  I've therefore built a test package for module-
init-tools which should blacklist the poulsbo driver and result in the
psb_gfx driver being loaded by default.  I've uploaded this test package
to my PPA.  Could you please test and let me know your results.  Thanks.

Seconded - a lot of effort has been expended in getting the GMA500 to be
useable within Ubuntu...for a little more Ubuntu could become the best
Linux distro to support this chipset.  There seem to be a lot of users
out there who have laptops or notebooks that use this device and getting
the last piece of the jigsaw in place would could make Ubuntu the
preferred operating system for those wishing to keep these systems going
for a few more years (including me!)

Any idea when we can see this fix in Ubuntu 12.04 ? It is such a trivial
change to the kernel configuration.

Fedora 17 alpha is working -

Small update - the driver has moved out of staging in the mainline
(3.3-rc1) kernel

It is now under

Device Drivers -
Graphics support -
DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) -
Intel GMA5/600 KMS Framebuffer

The name has changes in the .config file, it is now called

DRM_GMA500

grep DRM_GMA500 .config
CONFIG_DRM_GMA500=y

and it looks as if the kernel module is called gma500_gfx

[Bug 899244] Re: GMA500 psb_gfx

2012-01-10 Thread Lucazade
I have to correct my previous comment #5
There is no conflict between plymouth and psb_gfx but the problem is only 
'vt.handoff=7' as kernel parameter.. 
This doesn't allow KMS to detect the correct resolution and employ the psb_gfx 
framebuffer as VT7, resulting in a black screen instead of X.

Anyway this should probably refer to a new bug report.
I believe that with the 'poulsbo' module fix above by Leann Ogasawara and with 
the blacklist of 'vt.handoff=7' the gma500 will work  out of the box in Precise.

Thank you for looking into this Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara)

The kernel you build works as expected on my GMA500, thank you.

NOTE: When booting you still need to add the boot paramater
console=tty1, but I do not think there is anything you can do about
that.

2012-01-07 Thread Lucazade
@bodhi
console=tty1 is needed because there is a conflict with plymouth.

another way to workaround it is to completely disable plymouth...

sudo sed -i 's/splash//g' /etc/default/grub
sudo sed -i 's/$linux_gfx_mode/text/g' /etc/grub.d/10_linux
sudo mv /etc/init/plymouth.conf /etc/init/plymouth.conf.disabled
sudo update-grub

I hope there is a cleaner way and to blacklist plymouth when psb_gfx is
available in the system.

I've built a Precise test kernel with CONFIG_STUB_POULSBO disabled.  Can
you please test and confirm there is no longer a conflict between the
psb_gfx and poulsbo drivers and that the psb_gfx driver works as
expected.  I've placed the test kernel at the url below.  Please let us
know your results.  Thanks in advance.

otherwise it is a small configuration change.

The stub driver affects only the GMA500. You would think the stub driver
