Xorg configuration file

The current version of the driver (2.14.0) no longer works with the kernel 2.6.32.28. The previously tested version (2.13.0) used to work without problems in the otherwise identical environment. The driver 2.14.0 also works when the kernel 2.6.37 is used instead.

Kernel: 2.6.32.28, compiled for 32bit
Xorg Server: 1.7.1
Hardware: Lenovo T-410 (Type 2537-VX9)
Graphic;: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
Driver: i915

I hope the attached log file from the Xorg server contains all other information.

The kernel logs contains the following lines regarding the i915/drm drivers:

Sympton of the problem are:

- the X server is starting
- backlight is on, mouse pointer is displayed
- screen is otherwise completely black
- the following error message is repeated in the logs and on stderr:

(EE) intel(0): Failed to submit batch buffer, expect rendering corruption or even a frozen display: No such device.

I will attach both the xorg.conf and the xorg log file.

I wonder where I can find this commit?
Comment 4 Chris Wilson 2011-01-12 04:09:21 UTC
libdrm. For a change I even said which project I applied the commit to! ;-)
Comment 5 Torsten Hilbrich 2011-01-12 04:14:51 UTC
I'm was asking because I couldn't find this commit in git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm

Is this the correct repository?
Comment 6 Chris Wilson 2011-01-12 04:16:39 UTC
Good job you checked... The push failed on the first try and I forgot to send it again after updating...
Comment 7 Torsten Hilbrich 2011-01-12 04:30:56 UTC
I can confirm that your patch applied to libdrm 2.4.23 fixes the bug.

Thanks for the quick and good support.
