Re: xorg-server 1.6.0 in testing

I updated xorg to 1.6.0, on virtualbox, but when i am doing hwd -xa it is giving me error:
No Xserver installed!!!
whereas 'startx' works. Second thing is that Openbox, Fluxbox doesn't work.

I'm having the same issue with GM965 too!  Different combinations of the xserver 1.6 release candidates, intel 1.6 drivers, and libdrm packages from Debian experimental had the same issue intermittently with VT switching and suspending for at least a month on my laptop.  This was before lenny got released.  Not sure if it's fixed now in Debian, since I switched to arch after I got tired of all the lenny release drama, and stagnation in sid.

On my Dell D620 with intel 945gm suspend/hibernate works fine most of the time, but occasionally I get a frozen desktop (no mouse pointer movement, cannot switch to VT and back, recoverable with Alt+SysRq+REISUB). I've also noticed that the VT consoles are broken after resuming. They show a black screen with a corrupted mouse pointer. I've  had one or two freezes where I was unable to switch back to X after trying to access a VT console.

I've also gotten a couple of seemingly random freezes in the last couple of days, and running glxgears tends  to freeze the desktop

All this is using UXA.

Re: xorg-server 1.6.0 in testing

ive got this small glitch since 1.6:

i have set a udev rule that would disable the touchpad if a mouse was inserted. since xorg 1.6, this stopped working, the udev rule is being executed, yet the error comes from synclient (which im using to disable the touchpad)

udev rule: /etc/udev/rules.d/01-touchpad.rules

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="input", RUN+="/usr/bin/synclient TouchpadOff=1"
ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="input", RUN+="/usr/bin/synclient TouchpadOff=0"

and the dmesg error:

usb 5-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
usb 5-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
input: Genius Laser Mouse as /class/input/input10
synclient[8454]: segfault at 94 ip b7f2e047 sp bfe932e0 error 4 in libX11.so.6.2.0[b7f16000+119000]

if i run the synclient command myself, it works ok. but behind the udev rule if fails.


so...anyone got a clue?

Re: xorg-server 1.6.0 in testing

Working fine for me:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller
(tuned MSI Wind)

I noticed xorg-utils is not required anymore, so i removed this package, but then compiz won't load:

compiz (core) - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :0.0

With xorg-utils package it works.

All packages in testing are orphans.  Look in [extra] or [core] to see who the maintainer is.

Fixed my issues in Hedgewars where parts of the overlay rendering disappeared. I'm happy smile

Re: xorg-server 1.6.0 in testing

everything running smooth, using 'xf86-video-ati' 6.11 on a Radeon 9800XT (r360)

but some problems are;

xorg;

the 'xset m' command is static and doesn't work, seems to be stuck at default (i use 'xset m 1/2 1' in my openbox autostart config)

ati;

EXA for me is still 'meh'
and trying to eliminate tearing with 'exasync' does freeze flash videos in full screen, so I've reverted to default xorg config for stability (which defaults to XAA)
also I finally sorted out the mem errors in my logs by placing 'nopat' in my grub which seem to speed things up alot.

overall 2D performance is brilliant and 3D is getting there,
'Savage: The Battle for Newerth' still doesn't work (compress textures stuff...) but now it actually gets to the menu screen which is progress big_smile!!
I'll never go back to catalyst drivers, I'm loving the development of the opensource much more rewarding.


'xorg.conf' for reference;

Re: xorg-server 1.6.0 in testing

Here's an extremely hackish patch for hwd (specifically, mkxcfg) to work with the server 1.6 at least basically.

The author needs to change how the tool detects the X server, since all configure tools besides 'Xorg -configure' were removed in 1.6, and needs to allow detection of 1.6.* and either use the old 1.5 profile (as this patch does) or use a new profile. It would probably also be a good idea to just use the 1.5 (or other latest) profile for any version higher than supported in there.

You are using testing packages. you can't expect it to work properly.

They are testing in Arch, but consdered stable by Intel and X.org. So we CAN expect they will work fine.
BTW. There are some rumors that using 2.6.29 kernel solves the problem.

Re: xorg-server 1.6.0 in testing

No, rc7 of the 2.6.29 kernel doesn't solve anything here. Still freezing when trying to switch and a huge memory leak (on all kernels and no matter what combination I try) I have the latest (intel) drivers from testing.
Would be nice to see (well not nice) if someone else can confirm this.

Re: xorg-server 1.6.0 in testing

I'm getting random Xorg freezes on my Intel 945GM running in UXA mode, independent of switching VT or suspend. They just occur out of a sudden. I can switch to a VT and reboot from there. VT7 doesn't react on anything though (no Ctrl-Alt-Del, no Ctrl-Alt-Bksp).

I had been using the intel 2.6.1 driver in UXA mode with libdrm 2.4.4 and mesa 7.3 under xorg-server 1.5.3 without problems before. Now after switching to 1.6.0 I sadly have to move back to EXA, which at least feels slower in everyday 2D performance to me.

Re: xorg-server 1.6.0 in testing

There was a intel-driver update in testing. After that, the problem with switching to VT and back was solved (I'm using EXA, if this is important), but I cannot restart the xserver with CTRL+ALT+DELETE. It doesn't work.

Re: xorg-server 1.6.0 in testing

I'm also getting random freezes with the latest graphic related packages from Testing, with my Intel X3100 (Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960).
The X-Server just freezes, with no reason. I can still move the mouse, but clicking things does not have an effect. Trying to restart X with CTRL + ALT + Delete does not work at all, I can't even switch to a VT.
The only thing that works is to reboot the computer with the MagicSysRQ key combinations (entering REISUB, while holding ALT + SysRq pressed)
I am using UXA with the 2.6.28 Kernel.

Something I also noticed is, that the freezes increased since todays update of the intel drivers...

The current graphics situation really sucks, as you only have the choice between an X-Server with a reasonably well performance (that still is slow when compared to old x-server 1.4.x with the old intel drivers) but random freezes, or an X-Server that is quite stable but has really bad performance.

According to http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13651 2.6.29 with disabled KMS should be fine, you could try this.

To enable ctrl+alt+bksp you shoul add to xorg.conf this line:

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option    "DontZap"    "false"
EndSection

ps. After newest update I still have both problems (resume and VT switching), so the patch doesn't work with all cards.

Re: xorg-server 1.6.0 in testing

I can confirm the screen and keyboard freeze with the latest update from xf86-video-intel and libdrm. I also started seeing artifacts around the mouse pointer and the bottom of the kde panel.

Can you find out which update (and which patch if possible) causes these freezes? I haven't been able to reproduce them yet here, but some other people have.

Re: xorg-server 1.6.0 in testing

Removing the disable-reuse.patch from intel driver fixes the artifacts I was seeing, and Enter/Leave VT seems to be working too. I'll keep testing to see if the random screen and keyboard freeze strikes again.

By the way, I'm using UXA.

EDIT: Spoke too soon. Trying again enter and leave vt freezed the screen & keyboard.
