Context diff between the log files from the old (working) and new (broken) versions
I am having the same problem on a HP compaq dc7100 desktop.
I upgraded my Fedora Core3 to the following packages
xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL-6.8.2-1.FC3.45.i386.rpm
xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.FC3.45.i386.rpm
xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU-6.8.2-1.FC3.45.i386.rpm
xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-devel-6.8.2-1.FC3.45.i386.rpm
xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-6.8.2-1.FC3.45.i386.rpm
xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.FC3.45.i386.rpm
xorg-x11-libs-6.8.2-1.FC3.45.i386.rpm
xorg-x11-font-utils-6.8.2-1.FC3.45.i386.rpm
xorg-x11-xfs-6.8.2-1.FC3.45.i386.rpm
xorg-x11-xdm-6.8.2-1.FC3.45.i386.rpm
xorg-x11-xauth-6.8.2-1.FC3.45.i386.rpm
xorg-x11-twm-6.8.2-1.FC3.45.i386.rpm
xorg-x11-tools-6.8.2-1.FC3.45.i386.rpm
lspci reports the following for the graphics hardware:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Express
Chipset Family Graphics Controller (rev 04)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82915G Express Chipset Family
Graphics Controller (rev 04)
I have reinstalled the previous rpms (*FC3.13.i386.rpm) and the problem goes
away.
I have attached a context diff between the Xorg.0.log files for each version.
Which I hope may be of use.
There is one interesting looking warning in the new version -
(II) I810(0): 2 display pipes available.
! (II) I810(0): no video memory detected.
! (WW) I810(0): Detected stolen memory (0 kB) doesn't match what the BIOS
reports (7872 kB)
! (II) I810(0): I830CheckAvailableMemory: 1456124 kB available
(II) I810(0): Will attempt to tell the BIOS that there is 12288 kB VideoRAM
I guess 'no video memory detected' could be a problem ;-)
I am also experiencing the same problems with rhgb and startx showing what looks like a mixture of the actual screen and the Dell image in BIOS (at boot). I have: Dell 700m A05 BIOS running FC4 kernel version kernel 2.6.12-1.1447_FC4 i had 1200x800 working with the prior version of xorg, but the problems only began when the update to 6.8.2-37.FC4.48.1 came out on the 16th from redhat. Run level 3 also works without any problem. not sure how to downgrade to the prior version, so i'm stuck using Windoze to post the bug (and cannot access the log files to attach) (In reply to comment #2) > I am also experiencing the same problems with rhgb and startx showing what looks > like a mixture of the actual screen and the Dell image in BIOS (at boot). > > I have: > Dell 700m A05 BIOS > running FC4 > kernel version kernel 2.6.12-1.1447_FC4 > i had 1200x800 working with the prior version of xorg, but the problems only > began when the update to 6.8.2-37.FC4.48.1 came out on the 16th from redhat. > > Run level 3 also works without any problem. > > not sure how to downgrade to the prior version, so i'm stuck using Windoze to > post the bug (and cannot access the log files to attach) I was able to downgrade to the prior version, and it seems to work fine. The steps I used: First I found out which of the xorg-x11 rpm's I had: % rpm -qa | grep xorg-x11 Now I used wget for all the analogous rpm's to the ones I had, except the .45 versions from http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/i386/ for example, % wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/i386/xorg-x11-6.8.2-37.FC4.45.i386.rpm Once I had all of them, I used rpm to "upgrade" to the older version (as root) % rpm -Uvh --oldpackage --nodeps xorg-x11-6.8.2-37.FC4.45.i386.rpm The I doublechecked with another rpm -qa to make sure I had done all of them, crossed my fingers, and rebooted. This worked for me, though it seems a temporary solution. Next time they update the xorg-x11 rpm's I'll probably try them, but I'll keep the old ones around just in case ;). I'm seeing the exact same problems on a HP d530 business desktop with Intel graphics (i810 driver). I've noticed that there is also a bug report over at RedHat; Bugzilla Bug 168937 – Bad: xorg freezed with Intel i945 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=168937) There are new FC3 and FC4 updates which fix the problems on Intel video hardware. Please update to the latest version, and be sure to read the Fedora update advisory as it contains important instructions for ensuring the upgrade works properly. If after upgrading to the current xorg-x11 release in FC3 or FC4, you still have problems on Intel video hardware, please query X.Org bugzilla for existing i810 driver bug reports, and try to find one that sounds like the same problem and add your comments, log file, config file, exact xorg-x11 rpm version, and other details to it. If your problem isn't already reported in Xorg bugzilla, please file a new bug report, and when you attach files to bugzilla always use the "Create A New Attachment" link, instead of cut and pasting massive files into the comment field, as it makes the bug reports almost impossible to read/follow easily. Setting status to "FIXED" in latest FC3/4 updates. |
