sample Xorg.0.log with garbage

(copied from Arch bugtracker)

Description:
X starts, and when it displays something (three terminals and a clock, using twm manager), it immediately locks entire system up. The only thing I can do then is a hard reset of computer. When I restart Arch in text mode, I get a scrambled Xorg.0.log (looks like a random dump from memory) and there are some binary data in other logs, for example kernel.log.

I tried to remove all video drivers except "vesa" and all input drivers except "evdev", but it is the same. When I remove *all* video drivers, X starts and generates normal logs

Additional info:
* package version(s)
xorg-server 1.7.2-1
kernel 2.6.31
Output of "pacman -Q" attached (list of installed packets)

* config and/or log files etc.
I have no xorg.conf. Several logs attached (including Xorg.0.log)


Steps to reproduce:
I installed a fresh Arch (2009.08), did a "pacman -Syu", then installed "xorg", "xf86-video-drivers", "xf86-input-drivers", "openbox" and "obconf" - all with dependencies. I created a new user and ran "startx" from this user account.

my system is a lenovo thinkpad T61 with GM965 (x3100).

This one was generated when I turned on KMS and removed all video drivers except fbdev driver. System haven't hung up, but X hasn't started at all.

After looking at your Xorg.0.log, I'm thinking that your large virtual + bpp might be to blame. Have you tried a lower virtual and/or lower bpp?
Comment 6 Maciej Łoziński 2010-09-20 02:34:26 UTC
I haven't tried this but it seems that this bug has been fixed. See also:
