Description Bob Raitz 2009-03-07 12:10:50 UTC
After updating to xf86-video-intel-2.6.3, the computers in question would no longer play DVD's in kaffeine. When the attempt was made to play any DVD, the unit in question would immediately drop to a CLI. If X was restarted after this, the machine would lock up coming when exiting X. Downgrading to xf86-video-intel-2.6.1 solved the problem.

This bug was later verified on a second system. Same exact symptoms.

Creating this bug report was requested by Gentoo Bugzilla. Please check the URL for the Gentoo bug report.

Please attach Xorg.0.log.

Are you able to use git-bisect to find which commit breaks?

In functional (2.6.1) and non-functional (2.6.3) forms? If so, I'll send the good one first, since I'm currently up on that machine, and it's running the functional driver.

Not quite sure what that means. 2.6.2 worked, 2.6.3 didn't. Give me a git url, and I'll see what I can find.

The machine in question is currently showing a black screen. I can ssh to it, and this is the file that was created as soon as things crashed. I think it's pretty interesting there at the end.
Comment 5 Wang Zhenyu 2009-03-09 00:20:38 UTC
Could you get gdb backtrace?

here are some tutorial about how to use git bisect. if it works on 2.6.2 while breaks on 2.6.3, it won't take long to pin which commit is the culprit...

    Make Xv used a buffer object instead of i830_memory.

    We still pin the buffer object in case of overlay, but for textured video
    we're now no longer using i830_memory for Xv anymore.

Comment 10 Rémi Cardona 2009-03-14 01:40:27 UTC
Confirming on my 855GM laptop with any app that uses Xv (totem and mplayer in my tests).

Reverting the following four patches on top of 2.6.3 works around the issue for now (I did those four to avoid merge conflicts) :

 - "Access the Xv buffer through the GTT for the non-KMS case."
 - "Fix i915 textured video to work with the i830_memory -> bo change."
 - "Dont allocate overlay registers in KMS mode."
 - "Make Xv used a buffer object instead of i830_memory."

Is it safe to assume overlay Xv is broken on all pre-965 chips?

Thanks
Comment 11 Gordon Jin 2009-03-14 17:53:02 UTC
Does this also happen on 2.7 or master branch? If so, I'd suggest increasing priority.

Thanks Zhenyu, that indeed fixes the crashes for me.

Could this patch be nominated for the 2.6 and 2.7 branches as well?

Thanks
Comment 14 Wang Zhenyu 2009-03-16 00:13:56 UTC
yeah, this bug has already blocked 2.7. And you can put it back to 2.6 for your dist.

Thanks for verify, close. 
Comment 15 Bob Raitz 2009-03-16 00:35:13 UTC
Thanks for letting me do the testing for this. It was fun once I figured out what was happening.
Comment 16 Bob Raitz 2009-03-24 12:53:56 UTC
Please re-open. xf86-video-intel-2.6.3-r1 causes the same issues, with the exception of not showing a green screen. It still causes locks coming out of X, and my computer with an i830 video chipset fails attempting to play a DVD. Things remain workable with xf86-video-intel-2.6.1.
Comment 17 Wang Zhenyu 2009-03-24 17:57:57 UTC
Could  you test with git master to see if this's fixed upstream?

I thought the error was already found. As far as I can see, it's the same error I was dealing with when I started this report. The only difference is the green screen is gone. The i830 machine dies whenever DVD play starts (original complaint), caused by whatever commit was nailed down as the root cause. The other machine loses display coming out of X. No return of the frame buffer at all. The machine can be rebooted via ssh, or by a press of the power button. ACPI is a good thing.
Comment 19 Anthoine Bourgeois 2009-04-16 12:20:05 UTC
The issue remains on 2.6.3 branch with the i965 video.

I've bisect the failed patch.
# git bisect start
# git bisect good xf86-video-intel-2.6.1
# git bisect bad 2.6.3

I find this commit :
8ef4eb50193a849cb9fd0d7a85c6814e1d473101 is first bad commit

    Do check_aperture_space and batch_start_atomic for i965 video.


The previous fix to this bug only fix i945 video. (I think, I can't test it, I've got only a i965)

    Fix Xv crash with overlay video.

Can I reopen the bug ? How can I help more ?

Let's keep the issues separate, please open a new bug with the information you've found so far, it'll make it easier to help.

Don't forget to add "remi@gentoo.org" as a CC on that bug.

Thanks
