Greetings, I've got the Debian pre-release of X 4.2 running on my Toshiba 1800 which is otherwise running Debian woody.
It's mostly OK, but has crashed a couple of times. The most recent one (just now :-|) was when running gtv (i.e. smpeg) and with linux 2.2.21 booted (linux is configured with vesafb and X with the trident driver). The crash resulted in a ~640x480 or 800x600 centred green screen with various dotted vertical lines and a blue border around that. OK, a picture's worth a thousand words? Camera snapshots are at: http://www.planet.net.au/~neale/images/t1800-20020708.jpg (~64kB) http://www.planet.net.au/~neale/images/t1800-20020708-s.jpg (~15kB) AFAICT, the crash locked the machine hard - no network access (nor ping responses) either - except for the function ("Fn") key still lit its indicator (but then that stopped too - full buffer?). So recovery was by power-cycling. lspci -v includes: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems: Unknown device 8820 (rev 82) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems: Unknown device 0001 Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 8, IRQ 11 Memory at fc000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) Memory at fbc00000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) Memory at f8000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) Memory at f7ff8000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) Capabilities: [80] AGP version 2.0 Capabilities: [90] Power Management version 2 XFree86 log is at http://www.planet.net.au/~neale/temp/t1800-20020708-log.gz (~5k, ungzips to ~53k) - doesn't show anything about the crash (not surprising for a hard lock?). Any suggestions on where to go from here? Am I correct in recalling that there's a newer (experimental?) trident driver? If so, is it likely to be relevant here? Speaking of drivers, is there any hope of ever getting acceleration (or, gee wiz, TV-out) for this beastie? Thanks, Neale. _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
