Bug 18462

xorg.conf

hwinfo

Guek is using the following driver related software

- xorg-server 1.5.2
- xf86-video-intel 2.5.0
- libdrm 2.4.1
- Mesa 7.2_intel-2008-q3_46921a5 (Intel-2008-Q3-RC5)
- Kernel 2.6.27.1

Sounds like a blocker to me. The only workaround for now is using vesa/fbdev driver.

would you please submit a log with "ModeDebug" option turns on?

Does this hardware ever worked with previous intel driver 2.x?

I doubt that this hardware has ever been tested with an earlier intel 2.x release. I assume that it worked with i810 driver before though.

855GM should at least have LVDS. What's your machine type? maybe we have wrong quirks?

Classic mode works fine on my R50e.

Yes it has LVDS. This is a point of sales with 15" IR touch screen from Elo Technology. hwinfo in previous attached.

If so, I don't think it's blocker.

Sounds like Intel is not interested into supporting hardware, which has been supported before by i810 driver. A driver which is no longer available for X.Org 7.4 (missing support for libpciaccess).

Does this machine have a VBIOS you can attach to this bug?

# cd /sys/devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:02.0/
# echo 1 > rom
# cat rom > /tmp/rom.bin
# echo 0 > rom

It may also be that you could use the LVDSFixedMode option for this device; if it's a special purpose platform that may be the expected usage.

Just notified that our driver now has a lvds quirk on this board alike...could you try to remove following line from src/i830_quirk.c and try again?

    /* Cappuccino SlimPRO SP625F, bz #11368 */
    { PCI_CHIP_I855_GM, 0x8086, 0x3582, quirk_ignore_lvds },

i did not locate the 'i830_quirk.c' in the sles11beta4 and sled11beta5 terminal that i have..

Guek, you would need to recompile the xf86-video-intel driver from source. I'm not sure if Intel provides a HOWTO for this. From my mind:

 git-clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/driver/xf86-video-intel
 cd xf86-video-intel
 ./autogen.sh
 make
 make install

You need to install git and gcc package (+dependancies) before. Hope this are tools, which are available on SLES/SLED Beta.

Guek, just to double check. The vesa driver does work on this machine, right?

yes. they work with vesa 

would you please attach your xorg.log using vesa or directfb? thanks.

there should be source code from sles release, isn't it? maybe you need to install the -dev package?  Stefan Dirsch should know...

To move this bug on, we have to rely on  you to do the testing since we don't have this device...

thanks.

Stefan?

Guek, Michael, please see my comment #19.

Hi Stefan, I tried compiling the driver source but encountered some errors. Perhaps you can advise on this.

Upon running the script, I get the following error.

Vance, please install xorg-x11-proto-devel and xorg-x11-devel, e.g. by using

  zypper install xorg-x11-proto-devel xorg-x11-devel

Stefan,

did not locate the xorg-x11-proto-devel and xorg-x11-devel 3dvds of Sles11beta6. git is not  in either.
where can we get them from?

Sigh. Seems we don't publish developer packages for our enterprise betas.
You can get the packages from openSUSE 11.1 from

  http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/oss/suse/i586/

, they are compatible.

managed to download and install the xorg-x11-proto-devel and xorg-x11-devel and their dependencies from the link. Thanks Stefan.

run './autogen.sh', move further. 

Stefan could you advise on  this error message.

./configure: line 12603: syntax error near unexpected token `XINERAMA,'

> Looks sles missed xineramaproto in xorg devel package. 

You have to install xorg-x11-proto-devel. However, that should been a dependency of xorg-x11-devel.

The actual package should be xorg-x11-server-sdk.
try this if you still can not solve the build issue

by the way, i only managed to locate i830_quirks.c (With a 's')

thanks QianXian able to compile after installing the xorg-x11-server-sdk and its dependencies.

this is what i did:

(1) removed the following from  xf86-video-intel/src/i830_quirks.c
/* Cappuccino SlimPRO SP625F, bz #11368 */
    { PCI_CHIP_I855_GM, 0x8086, 0x3582, quirk_ignore_lvds 

(2)cd xf86-video-intel
 ./autogen.sh
 make
 make install

(3) edit the xorg.conf to use intel driver and with ModeDebug on.

(4) reboot and till do not able to see display when startX

I think you have wrong build or install of changed driver. Log should at least say LVDS ddc i2c initialization.
Try ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr; make ; make install.

(2) Try ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr; make ; make install.


(3) edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to use intel video driver

(4) it works:-)

Guek, thanks for verify this! I have removed origin quirk and added LVDS output detect patch into git master. Could you help to test if current git master works for you? This helps me to verify the LVDS detect logic. Thanks.

I attached the diff file for this, Guek, please patch this into you 2d driver and try this.

Novell, if it works, please add this patch into the SLE11 release.

    Try to add LVDS detect support
    
    This one trys to use lid status for LVDS detect,
    which works when internal panel is not used as primary
    display alone, or there's no internal panel at all.
    ACPI button driver's lid state interface is preferred,
    and SWF state is also checked if ACPI method failed.

    Remove Cappuccino SlimPRO SP625F 855GM LVDS quirk
    
    It breaks bug #18462 on IBM 855GM with same subdevice ids.

Guek, patches are now applied to our xorg-x11-driver-video package for SLE11, so next RC should include the fix.

Noted. Will lookout in RC2 and feedback. Thank you.

Unfortunately applying these patches caused severe regressions for a large part of our user base. The result for them is that no output is detected any longer,
so Xserver no longer comes up at all. Thus I'm afraid I need to reopen this one
and disable this patch for now. See

  https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=486643 

for more details.

Bug 486643 - intel: No outputs detected after xorg-x11-driver-video update (855GM/915GM)

I will and let you know, once such a logfile is available.

ok, so driver trys to know lid status through acpi button lid object, and that reported closed. 

We have seen this kind of hw with broken acpi, it's fixed through custom dsdt or driver has a BROKEN_ACPI_LID quirk if this hw's acpi can't be fixed with dsdt.

Could you ask user to attach acpidump? our acpi guy would like to see it.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 20826 ***

with the package mentioned in Bug #20826, what is the plan to have the fixed that we have verified to be working in this bug back in place for our terminal to function.

Why? Does this patch break anything?

Bug #20826 mentioned "disabled LVDS detect". Where else the package in this Bug#18462 comment#56  is with "LVDS detect".

Thus will the change in Bug#20826. Will it affect IBM terminal that is verfied to be working with package from Bug#18462 comment#56?

Wang should know. Anyway, we saw so many regressions, that we currently don't have a choice anyway. And Luc, we're talking about patches, not about packages.
Patches are changes to the source code.

Packages is something different ...

Intel

could you respond on the query in comment#69

for your case ( 855GM with LVDS panel attached ), the revert of the change won't impact you, i.e. it by default assume any mobile chpset will come with a LVDS panel. So, even the patch is reverted , your case should still work.

Your problem is introduced by the patch of adding quirk for Cappuccino SlimPRO SP625F 855GM, which use exactly same board as you use but did _not_ come with a LVDS panel, commit 0fe61b0b7e3bbe8ced1b0ad2be72c438d200c64b get rid of this quirk. So it breaks another guy, but not you...
