Xorg 6.8.2 log with VIA driver
VBEGetModePool seems to cause this problem. Can't find out why exactly. Created attachment 3650 [details]
My Xorg log file
I have the very same problem on my Dell inspiron 2200 laptop and this video
card :
Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics
Controller (rev 03)
It freezes completely the computer for 20 seconds when I start xorg. My driver
is working correcly when xorg is started, and I experience no problem at all
once in xorg.
xorg version : 6.8.99.15-r4 (Gentoo)
kernel : 2.6.13-gentoo-r4
My xorg log file is attached
Could you test it with the option "NoInt10" to see if it starts up faster? For me it starts fast but the display becomes unusable (you may require a reboot). I think the problem has to do with the display not reporting its capabilities but I can't figure out how it works. Does your clock also lags behind after starting X a few times? I just tried the Option "NoInt10" "Yes", and it gave me an error : No usable screen found I tried to count the time to see if there's a clock lag, but I can't seem to be exact in my timing. But I can say it was 4 minutes behind this morning, so I guess it does lag behind. I can't do absolutely nothing while it loads. I don't have access to my desktop, so all my attempts to see where it froze were in vain. Any other ideas? PS. It was working fine with xorg 6.8.1, but now it's not in Gentoo anymore... Well I started X from a remote terminal and noticed I couldn't do anything while it loaded. But I'm gonna try 6.8.1 to see if that helps! I haven't heard anything from the xorg team so I'm not sure what causes this, probably some interrupt disabling routine. Compiled and installed 6.8.1 and 6.8.0 but still the same problems. Fixed this by using the openchrome drivers and removing a check which used the VIA bios. It seems accessing the video bios is way to slow. Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future. Yes, int10 is nasty. The switch to x86emu everywhere should actually improve this a bit, but in general this isn't really fixable. |
