Bug 7760

/etc/X11/xorg.conf

Please attach a log file from an attempt to start the X server with the radeon
driver.

Does this also happen without specifying the BusID?

The real X log

The previous was a redirect from stderr/stdout; please ignore.

Thanks for your inquiry. I commented out the BusID line and the same thing happened.

Thanks. Does this still happen with xf86-video-ati git ati-1-0-branch or master?

I get the same error, though no memory errors are shown:

...
(WW) ****INVALID IO ALLOCATION**** b: 0xf0000400 e: 0xf00004ff correcting^G
(EE) end of block range 0xefffffff < begin 0xf0000000
...

I'll be attaching the whole log file next.

BTW, if I manage to test the latest driver from git I'll report back,
but first I'll try to upgrade my Ubuntu Dapper to Edgy.

Xorg log from latest Ubuntu Dapper

This error happened always, whatever the xorg.conf changes I've ever made.

Xorg.0.log from latest Ubuntu Gustsy

The INVALID IO ALLOCATION error is still present in xserver-xorg-video-ati 6.7.193-1ubuntu1.

Just added a new Xorg.0.log to show that this error still persists in latest driver version available.

The error was produced using a default generated xorg.conf, which I'm attaching next.

are you still seeing this in a more recent release or in ati git master?

No, I could not reproduce this with Ubuntu Intrepid. I can't speak for Alex Muntada though.

I'm still running ubuntu hardy on my MacMini and this error is still present (xserver-xorg-video-ati is version 1:6.8.0-1), so I downloaded current ati git master (Xorg.0.log says version 6.9.0) but the result is the same: the error still shows in the log.

I'm not attaching the log since there are only a few differences (/dev/dri/card0 is now OK):

Let me know if I can help in any way.

Is this still an issue with kms or a more recent driver?

After upgrading to ubuntu karmic the message disappeared.

Let me know if you want me to upgrade to newer versions or provide some logs, etc.

Let's call this fixed then.  Thanks.
