Xorg don't start - xf86-video-intel (eeepc)

I updated Xorg and xf86-video-intel on my eeepc. After 2 seconds xsession crashs with this error:

(EE) intel(0): Mode 1280x1024 does not fit virtual size 1024x1024 - internal error
(EE) intel(0): underrun on pipe B!

Try that and if that doesn't work, replace "1024x1024" with "1024x600" and see what happens.

Re: Xorg don't start - xf86-video-intel (eeepc)

Hmm maybe someone else can help, I don't have an eeepc so I'm limited, have you tried starting X without a configuration file? (move /etc/X11/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/idontwannauseyou.conf)

Re: Xorg don't start - xf86-video-intel (eeepc)

I solved the first error: (EE) intel(0): Mode 1280x1024 does not fit virtual size 1024x1024 - internal
I added Virtual 2048 2048 in the Display section (depth 24)

For the second error I don't know...

(EE) intel(0): underrun on pipe B!

Check this out: http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs … 90875.html

Maybe you should try with libdrm-git and xf86-video-intel-git (in AUR). Things are changing rapidly with recent hardware, and maybe things are already fixed upstream.

I've used these for quite a while with my new dell laptop, and they work better than the standard packages.

Re: Xorg don't start - xf86-video-intel (eeepc)

I have solved partially my problems.

1) The errors in the first topic are independent from the crash of xserver. It depends from a bug of pekwm windows manager.
2) The freeze of Xserver is caused by hotplug intefaces I solved adding this lines in Xorg.conf

Section "ServerFlags"
      Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection

thanks you smile

trying to get things running as smooth as i could, i started with no xorg.conf file at all, and everything worked out of the box (intel gma945)

so, you could try that

adriano, try installing the xf86-input-evdev package it you do not already have it installed.

Have you tried xf86-video-i810? mines intel 915g and I got better results using this driver in some versions of xorg.

Re: Xorg don't start - xf86-video-intel (eeepc)

i810 doesn't install (on my system anyways) with the XOrg 7.4

Underrun on pipe B! seems to be a normal error if you don't have a 2nd monitor connected. I get the same on my i915 chip.
