(In reply to comment #1) > [ 1.579040] radeonfb (0000:f0:10.0): ATI Radeon 4150 "AP" > [ 703.929179] [drm] radeon kernel modesetting enabled. radeonfb and kernel modesetting (KMS) are mutually exclusive, and attempting to enable the latter when the former is active currently results in the radeon kernel module not initializing at all, preventing the DRI from being enabled. If you either disable radeonfb or pass radeon.modeset=0 on the kernel command line, video should work fine again. Mid-air collision!!! I'll try what you suggest, and report back. Until then, here's the rest of what I was going to write... F*cking synaptics touchpad on my laptop... OS-wise this is phil@geespaz:~$ cat /etc/debian_version squeeze/sid phil@geespaz:~$ uname -a Linux geespaz 2.6.32-5-powerpc64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 1 15:09:03 UTC 2010 ppc64 GNU/Linux phil@geespaz:~$ dpkg -l | grep radeon ii libdrm-radeon1 2.4.18-6 Userspace interface to radeon-specific kerne ii radeontool 1.6.1-1 utility to control ATI Radeon backlight func ii xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:6.13.0-2 X.Org X server -- AMD/ATI Radeon display dri phil@geespaz:~$ dpkg -l | grep xorg ii xorg 1:7.5+6 X.Org X Window System ii xorg-docs-core 1:1.5-1 Core documentation for the X.org X Window Sy ii xserver-xorg 1:7.5+6 the X.Org X server ii xserver-xorg-core 2:1.7.7-2 Xorg X server - core server ... The problem is best illustrated with an image, but as it's the overlay, it has to be a photo rather than a screengrab. Here's a camphone snap of it http://fatphil.org/images/XoverlayPPC64_1.jpg (which I guess I should attach to this ticket). The issue takes a couple of different forms depending on precisely which video format and player I use. One AVI always (VLC, xine, and mplayer) has odd and even columns swapped over, giving horrid sawtooth jaggies down all sloping edges. Another AVI is like that with mplayer and xine, but in vlc the columns are in the right order, but the colours are completely messed up. If I use mplayer -vo x11 or mplayer -vo gl, then the columns are all in the right place, it's only -xo xv that shows that particular issue. Booting with video=radeonfb:off No consoles, no X. A bit of a dead end presently. Booting with radeon.modeset=0 I get to X OK. vlc causes the screen to go blank, killing it doesn't help, I needed to restart X. xine displays its logo and plays a short video correctly - I'll test this more. mplayer plays a few frames of the video correctly, but then the screen went black and my SSH session died, and the machine needed a reboot. The xine result implies that Michel's diagnosis was an accurate one. I only need one video player, so if it can play whole movies this might be enough. (In reply to comment #3) These are all separate issues that would need to be tracked separately, but FWIW... > Booting with video=radeonfb:off > No consoles, no X. A bit of a dead end presently. At the very least the kernel output, but preferably also the Xorg.0.log file would be needed to diagnose this. > Booting with radeon.modeset=0 > I get to X OK. > vlc causes the screen to go blank, killing it doesn't help, I needed to restart > X. This could be a number of things, e.g. screensaver / DPMS / gamma (does running xgamma -gamma 1.0 restore the normal display?) related. > mplayer plays a few frames of the video correctly, but then the screen went > black and my SSH session died, and the machine needed a reboot. Stability issues like that are usually AGP related, you could try playing with all the possible values for Option "AGPMode" (see the radeon manpage) or even disabling AGP altogether with Option "BusType" "PCI". Michel's solution works for me, and has no noticeable negative side effects. Many thanks! FIXED... ... and VERIFIED. A workaround is a workaround, even if it's actually desirable in this case. :) The bug is still there. fixed in: 91f707d308d4bbf16c3d62d046cf280fef5a8f4c |
