Hi, I think I finally succeeded in compiling xserver 1.4, so now I can enjoy exa and the latest radeon driver in full :-) Notably, rotation works now, while it used to crash the box with XAA.
Now I seem to have hit one small problem, related to EXA, I think. When I'm in runlevel 4 (graphical login on Slackware), logging out from kde results in a segfault in X and a blank screen. Changing vt's is no use, all vt's are and remain blank In the logs I found the following backtrace: 0: /usr/bin/X(xf86SigHandler+0x80) [0x80c0a00] 1: [0xffffe420] 2: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//radeon_drv.so(radeon_crtc_hide_cursor+0xdc) [0xb7b7081c] 3: /usr/bin/X [0x80eebcf] 4: /usr/bin/X(xf86_hide_cursors+0x41) [0x80eec21] 5: /usr/bin/X(xf86_cursors_init+0xc4) [0x80ef124] 6: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//radeon_drv.so(RADEONCursorInit+0x6c) [0xb7b7060c] 7: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//radeon_drv.so(RADEONScreenInit+0x175a) [0xb7b7bd1a] 8: /usr/bin/X(AddScreen+0x1ed) [0x806daed] 9: /usr/bin/X(InitOutput+0x22e) [0x80a21ce] 10: /usr/bin/X(main+0x286) [0x806e296] 11: /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xd8) [0xb7ce2df8] 12: /usr/bin/X(FontFileCompleteXLFD+0x209) [0x806d7d1] Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting Is this a bug in xorg-server or in the radeon driver? If the latter, I'll post a bug report with all associated logs. If the former, I'll try finding a patch somewhere :-) It might of course also be the case that I bungled compiling xserver 1.4, being a bit of a newbie. I'll describe the steps I took below so you may check that if you're suspicious :-) PJ P.S.: Compiling xserver-1.4 woes: My first try failed because 1) compositeproto-0.3.1 was installed while 0.4 was needed; 2) pixman was not installed; 3) libpciaccess was not installed; and 4) the mesa source was too old (6.5.2). I covered the dependencies by installing / upgrading the following list of packages: compositeproto-0.4 libXcomposite-0.4.0 libpciaccess-0.9.1 mesa-7_0_1 pixman-0.9.5_10_g39a67d3 After that I could compile the xserver, but it would only start after I also upgraded / recompiled the following: synaptics-0.14.6 (with a patch to the makefile I found on Debian) xf86-input-keyboard-1.2.2_1_g10792dc xf86-input-mouse-1.2.3 xf86-video-ati-6.7.195 Having done all this, my xserver runs quite good _______________________________________________ xorg-driver-ati mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
