The Fedora packages for xorg-x11* and kernel are: xorg-x11-6.7.99.903-6 kernel-2.6.8-1.541 I cannot use this driver at all for it loses refreshing functionality. This was when booting up in runlevel 5 and then logging into X as a regular user. This is most likely from a similar cause that Mike is experiencing w/ DRI enabled. I'll litter this report with my Xorg.0.log file that can be compared with the terminal to GUI screen F7 or F8 Created attachment 852 [details]
situation bad refresh,may be DRI related?
The same xorg-x11 version and similar kernel used. Both Intel 815 cards.

At 1024x768 things are better for performance
Though I prefer 1280 x 1024 mode, the 1024 x 768 mode enables DRI. Refer to
attached file for details regarding glxinfo, glxgears and xdpyinfo. To help
with confirming 815 behavior similar to the ctl-alt-Fn to terminal crash, I
wanted to get DRI activated.
After attachment submitted, I'll try the ctl-alt-Fn to a mingetty terminal. I
am running in runlevel 3.

Confirming DRI connection.
This happened to me with DRI enabled and at 1024 x 768 resolution. Refer to
Xorg.0.log attached
Created attachment 868 [details]
Mode switching causes refresh problem.
The history of this log covers switching resolutions via system-config-display
to 1280 x 1024 after DRI testing at 1024 x 768. A later attachment regarding
this tools reconfiguration of the Xorg.conf file will be posted along with
information with another xorg.conf file that was manually edited for 1280 x
1024. The config file created with the tool bombed and caused the refresh
problem indicated.
Reverting back and rebooting was the only solution to get back to the working
server condition.

This setting of the xorg.conf file causes a refresh problem.
This file was transitional from testing. It was generated from
system-conf-display and is very bad. I used the tool to select default depth of
24 and 1280 x 1024 resolution.
Created attachment 870 [details]
This configuration rocks!
This file is from initial setup of the system and was set to 24 depth
originally. This is an ideal setup and exhibits no problems. The server for the
815 card looks great.
Created attachment 871 [details]
These are the performance related information items for the 1280 x 1024 mode
This should complete my testing

I rolled the version of Xorg back to the Fedora package xorg-x11-6.7.99.903-5 and the problems I noted with the 24 bit configuration above in "Further Test Descriptions for various graphic modes" (Comment #10) have disappeared although it didn't fix the problem switching from graphic to text mode logins. I'll attach the xorg.conf and xorg.0.log ... Mike Klinke Created attachment 885 [details]

This file is from an 845 graphics controller.
Test is to see if DRI is causing lockups for all versions of Graphics
controllers that use the i810 driver. The test was basically starting X from
runlevel 3, then ctl-alt-Fn to a terminal. The crash did not happen. DRI was
active and resolution was 1280 x 1024. Other attachments that will be included
are DMESG, glxinfo and the xorg.conf from the Dell with the 845 card.

This is performance for comparison of 845 GC

DMESG output from running system.
Now that the problem is comparatively isolated to the 815 chipset and the 845
card is working fine, I hope the corrections can be made to the driver or split
the driver into 810/815 for one driver type and 830/845 for a secondary card w/
later chipsets following suit.
It is very likely that these problems are gone in 6.8.2. Please test. Today the 6.8.2 version was released to Fedora Core 3 as: xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.FC3.13 and as, has been suggested, this problem doesn't exist any longer, at least on my laptop. Swithing back and forth works fine. Regards, Mike Klinke |
