This really didn't let me sleep - so I decided to try another (comparable) distribution. Madriva or Fedora doesn't seam to be comparible, because they use older kernel/xorg. So SuSE 11 alpha2 came along yesterday, and I gave it a fresh autoconfigured (Xorg) install. I had to enable "3D" support. It uses the "i810" driver by default. I also tested "xorg.conf" with the "intel" driver: no difference.
It comes with: # rpm -q xorg-x11-server xorg-x11-server-7.3-57 # X -version X.Org X Server 1.4.0.90 Release Date: 5 September 2007 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: openSUSE SUSE LINUX Current Operating System: Linux ibmr31 2.6.24-6-default #1 SMP 2008/01/31 14:27:52 UTC i686 Build Date: 03 February 2008 06:46:59AM I "cold" booted the machine ... and X comes up without any problems. DRI is running much faster, than on ubuntu hardy - 170.000 fps to 50.000 fps / with XAA, tested with glxgears (I know this is not the best test for this). SUMMARY: This should definitely work! 1. It seams to be an initialization problem with DRI, because once it runs - "warm" boot supported and "pre initialized" by another X - it runs fine. 'julianlubenov' (initial posting) got this effect by booting into windows. 2. It affects both 8.04/hardy/alpha4 and 7.10/gutsy (with the actual updates). 3. Results on OpenSuSE 11 could be a hint. Probably upstream could manage to contact these people. 4. If "intel" does not work yet for i830M chipsets, it should NOT be used. DRI definitely IS useful for a fast desktop experience (even without compiz). ** Attachment added: "Xorg.0.log, messages and xorg.conf from OpenSuSE 11 alpha2" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11858076/logs.SuSE11alpha2.tar.gz -- X freezes after first boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151044 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
