Xorg crashes video card or will not start

Hi all,

I'm running into an issue trying to get my Xorg to work on a computer I'm trying to setup. It is an old Dell Vostro 200s with a Intel G45 Express chipset. I have some experience with manually configuring Xorg as I used to play around with Gentoo. This problem has me completely stumped.

Here is a list of symptoms:

1) To install arch linux I had to boot the iso with the argument of nomodeset
2) I tried everything I could think of with the xf86-video-intel driver but it mostly gave me either
  a) A blank screen, I could Ctl-Alt-Bkspace and then reboot, I just couldn't see anything - I could switch to different terminals, but the video output was always just blank
  b) Xorg crash with intel(0) failed to set mode: invalid argument as the problem (simlar to below)
3) I read on the internet that the intel driver is not very well maintained and I should use modesetting driver instead I still get two different outcomes (depending on if I hand configure some Xorg.conf or not)
  a) Xorg configured - A blank screen, I can still Ctl-Alt_Bkspace and then reboot via commands, the only difference here is now my monitor actually loses video signal, the card stops outputting anything
  b) Xorg not configured - Xorg crashes see below:

Relevant portions of lspci -v (I have two different video controllers?):

Using this Xorg.conf

	Identifier "modesetting"
	Driver	"modesetting"
EndSection

Section	"Monitor"
	Identifier "Monitor 1"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier "Screen 1"
	Device	"modesetting"
	Monitor "Monitor 1'
	SubSection	"Display"
		Depth 24
		Modes "1024x768"
	EndSubSection
EndSection

I get this:

Re: Xorg crashes video card or will not start

In the test with an xorg.conf and modesetting driver, the last lines are:

[   364.600] (II) systemd-logind: releasing fd for 13:65
[   364.645] (II) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file.

This shows that xorg has started successfully, but as it had nothing to do, it terminated.
So there is nothing wrong here with xorg server; you need to start some graphical appli, either a display manager or some window manager running something when it starts.
How do you enter graphical environment? And what do you start then?

Concerning the usage of modesetting versus intel video drivers, the opinions are not so clear cut (read all the comments about that, not only the first ones).
Personally I use the intel video driver, and I don't encounter graphical issues.

And in the test without an xorg.conf, did you try without a nomodeset kernel parameter?

Re: Xorg crashes video card or will not start

Using that xorg.conf and related settings, you only need to load a window manager, as previously stated. Edit ~/.xinitrc and then put exec <window manager> as the very last line. For example if you intend to use fluxbox put exec fluxbox. Log into CLI and type startx see what happens then. smile

Curious, what does your ~.xinitrc file look like right now?

I am diagnosed with bipolar disorder. As it turns out, what I thought was my greatest weakness is now my greatest strength.

Everyday, I make a conscious choice to overcome my challenges and my problems. It's not easy, but its better than the alternative...

Re: Xorg crashes video card or will not start

Stupidly, putting gnome-session in my .xinitrc worked to actually get X to work.... However:

One of the major problems still persists, I cannot Ctl-Alt-F(X) to show another terminal. The terminal is active, I can blindly login and blindly execute commands, but my screen will be frozen showing the last screen draw (minus the mouse) of the X session unless I am in tty1, in which case it returns to normal. If I end the X session, my videocard's output stops (as in no signal to the monitor at all), I can get the output back again by blindly executing startx again, but it seems once I go into X, it's X or bust until reboot.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

-Sean

Re: Xorg crashes video card or will not start

Did you try with kernel mode setting enabled, ie without the nomodeset kernel parameter?

Re: Xorg crashes video card or will not start

Both the intel and modesetting Xorg drivers require modeset to not be disabled, both drivers requrie it. However, nomodeset argument was how I got the liveusb install iso to boot.

Re: Xorg crashes video card or will not start

Try it without the nomodeset paramter and see what happens. I had to add use nomodeset during installation on my GTX 970 (otherwise my monitor would just go into powersave mode), but once Arch was installed, everything worked out of the box without nomodeset.

Re: Xorg crashes video card or will not start

This may be related to a recent problem with gnome, it crashes or something like it, try another DE and you should be good with it.

Re: Xorg crashes video card or will not start

I do not use nomodeset as a boot argument because both Xorg drivers (intel and modesetting) require it. The only time I used it was to install arch.

This problem happens across multiple DE's, I'm at a loss here, still no fix to the terminal switching issue (or completely dead video out if I exit X). There must be some xorg.conf setting or driver option I'm missing.

Re: Xorg crashes video card or will not start

Please post your lspci -nn
Also, did you try starting without an xorg.conf (to let it choose it's settings?)

Re: Xorg crashes video card or will not start

See my first post for an Xorg.log when I do not use an xorg.conf. TL;DR It crashes, same with Xorg -configure.

I get this pertinent error when I let Xorg run without a configuration file

(EE) modeset(0): failed to set mode: Invalid argument

I also get this when I let it use the intel driver

(EE) intel(0): failed to set mode: Invalid argument

Re: Xorg crashes video card or will not start

Have little time to read everything, but I just notice your kernel version and the intel gpu.
So my mind goes to this and this.
You can downgrade your kernel to a version prior to 4.7 (like 4.6.5) and give it a try.
Hope it helps.

ps: no xorg.conf, no xf86-video-intel.

Re: Xorg crashes video card or will not start

Thanks for your help everyone. I didn't feel like solving what is probably a driver code regression so I just bought a cheap Geforce 750ti and stuck it in. Works like a champ.

Thanks again for helping.
