Bug 1084

Could you provide the server log file (/var/log/Xorg.0.log), the config file and
the version of the Xorg server and the version of the RPM package? Thanks.

Posting on the test list for Fedora dwvelopment, I discovered that my problem
with X and Mike's problem are both related to the 815 cards. I filed bug 1086
and provided logs for my problem in attached files.
I tested another machine that has an 828 656 graphics controller and also uses
the i810 driver. The changes between the prior versions and the CVS head were
significant enough to reduce random crashes with xscreensavers.

I was surprised that both graphics controllers used the same driver. The 815
chip based card worked great on prior versions of X.
I seem to recall that there was a seperate driver for the i815 card. If there
never was a seperate driver for the card, there should be seperate drivers for
the 815 and for other similar (but quite different) graphics controller.
lspci displays that I have the card type below.

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp. 82815 CGC [Chipset Graphics
Controller] (rev 02)

I hope something is useful in either report to resolve the issue.

server log files are in the other bug report.

My motherboard is a Supermicro Super 370SSM w/ an Intel 815 Solano chipset.

Log files after failure

This is a duplicate of the text file at the URL I provided in the initial
report.  Let me know if you need anything else.

See "additional Comment #3".  I've attached the log files linked to in the
initial report.

The rpm package is: rpm 4.3.2-06.i386

Let me know if I can help further.

P.S. Oh, have you checked your clock lately? Something seems amiss....

New Log Files after latest xorg-x11 update

The problem still persists after updating to the latest Fedora Core development
revisions (xorg-x11*6.7.99-902) while reverting back to xorg-x11*-6.7.0-7.2
allows X to start.

*** Bug 1086 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

AlanH's changes for the dualhead i830 support breaks the i810 driver..

for a start it now requires that the pI810->LpRing is xalloc'ed but this doesn't
happen on the i810 driver, only in the i830_driver.c, I think also some of the
cursor mem stuff probably also needs to be changed for the i810/5...

I've cc'ed Alan I'm not sure if it is his work or Keiths.. Alan can you fixup
the i810/5 (do you have the hardware?) I've got some here but I'm not that great
with the 2D drivers yet...

I'm going to attach my prelim patch it fixes the crash and X starts, it also
fixes a warning for drmCommandNone...

first patch isn't correct - this one is better..

Looks good. Sorry for the mixup on this.

Thanks for the patch Dave, and thanks for reviewing it Alan.
It has been checked in.
Closing.

Now seems patch works -glxinfo

Other than a noticed wavering of the screen on the left and right edges, the
problem with stability seems to be be corrected. The framerate also seems much
improved.
