+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #14539 +++ Created an attachment (id=14373) dmesg, xorg.conf, Xorg.0.log/old I got a crash with 2.2.0.90 when my laptop was under high memory pressure and load. I've attached the two Xorg.log files from /var/log as they both had the same timestamp. I think it is Xorg.log rather than Xorg.log.old though. I didn't have any GL apps running at the time, just xchat, gnome-terminal, liferea, galeon and evolution. I was compiling a big C++ app (synfig) with -j2 at the time, which caused the memory pressure. I occasionally get crashes, the result is usually that the screen is messed up (purple mess at the top) but the kernel is fine, so pressing the power button results in a graceful shutdown. I'm using a Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop. $ lspci -n | grep 00:02 00:02.0 0300: 8086:27a2 (rev 03) 00:02.1 0380: 8086:27a6 (rev 03) $ lspci | grep 00:02 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) $ uname -m i686 $ dpkg -s xserver-xorg-video-intel xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core libdrm2 libgl1-mesa-dri | egrep '(Version|Package)' Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel Version: 2:2.2.0.90-3 Package: xserver-xorg Version: 1:7.3+10 Package: xserver-xorg-core Version: 2:1.4.1~git20080131-1 Package: libdrm2 Version: 2.3.0-4 Package: libgl1-mesa-dri Version: 7.0.2-4 $ uname -r 2.6.24-1-686 $ cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Debian DISTRIB_RELEASE= DISTRIB_CODENAME=sid DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Debian GNU/Linux" $ xrandr --verbose Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 800, maximum 2048 x 2048 VGA disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) Identifier: 0x4b Timestamp: 174813 Subpixel: unknown Clones: CRTCs: 0 1 LVDS connected 1280x800+0+0 (0x4e) normal (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 331mm x 207mm Identifier: 0x4c Timestamp: 174813 Subpixel: horizontal rgb Clones: CRTC: 1 CRTCs: 1 EDID_DATA: 00ffffffffffff004ca3000000000000 00100103802115780a87f594574f8c27 27505400000001010101010101010101 010101010101c71b00a0502017303020 26004bcf100000190000000f00000000 00000000002387026400000000fe0044 463035360331353458330a20000000fe 002740505a81b0d9ff01010a2020009d BACKLIGHT_CONTROL: kernel supported: native legacy combination kernel BACKLIGHT: 100 (0x00000064) range: (0,100) 1280x800 (0x4e) 71.1MHz -HSync -VSync h: width 1280 start 1328 end 1360 total 1440 skew 0 clock 49.4KHz v: height 800 start 802 end 808 total 823 clock 60.0Hz 1280x800 (0x4f) 83.5MHz h: width 1280 start 1344 end 1480 total 1680 skew 0 clock 49.7KHz v: height 800 start 801 end 804 total 828 clock 60.0Hz 1280x768 (0x50) 80.1MHz h: width 1280 start 1344 end 1480 total 1680 skew 0 clock 47.7KHz v: height 768 start 769 end 772 total 795 clock 60.0Hz 1024x768 (0x51) 65.0MHz -HSync -VSync h: width 1024 start 1048 end 1184 total 1344 skew 0 clock 48.4KHz v: height 768 start 771 end 777 total 806 clock 60.0Hz 800x600 (0x52) 40.0MHz +HSync +VSync h: width 800 start 840 end 968 total 1056 skew 0 clock 37.9KHz v: height 600 start 601 end 605 total 628 clock 60.3Hz 640x480 (0x53) 25.2MHz -HSync -VSync h: width 640 start 656 end 752 total 800 skew 0 clock 31.5KHz v: height 480 start 490 end 492 total 525 clock 59.9Hz TV disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) Identifier: 0x4d Timestamp: 174813 Subpixel: unknown Clones: CRTCs: 0 1 BOTTOM: 37 (0x00000025) range: (0,100) RIGHT: 46 (0x0000002e) range: (0,100) TOP: 36 (0x00000024) range: (0,100) LEFT: 54 (0x00000036) range: (0,100) TV_FORMAT: NTSC-M supported: NTSC-M NTSC-443 NTSC-J PAL-M PAL-N PAL
Hi, Paul It seems the latest xf86-video-intel driver fixes intermittent crashes on 945GM (see bug #17638), could you try it?
Due to the lenny freeze, Debian doesn't yet have the required versions of libdrm & xf86-video-intel. Once they are packaged, I'll update to them. I haven't had the crash in quite a while though (see the info in the old bug).
Paul, any update? Have you tried newer driver?
Not yet, sorry. I'm waiting for security support for Debian testing/squeeze before I upgrade my laptop to squeeze/sid. Also there are a couple of transitions in sid I'm waiting for, Xorg being one of the not-so-fun sounding ones.
Feedback timeout at 6 months. (We're pretty sure we fixed it)
This still occurs in 2.3.2 in Debian lenny/squeeze, is there any patch for that version?
Mass version move, cvs -> git
