2.6.32 kernel config to reproduce the bug.

Hi,

Bug description:

Today I upgraded my kernel from 2.6.31.4 to 2.6.32 on my test machine.

I was using KMS and it worked fine - after the upgrade I get a blank screen (blacklight seems to be turned off) right after grub. I booted with init=/bin/sh and confirmed that the blank screen occurs when I load the i915 kernel module.

System environment:
-- chipset:

$ sudo lspci |grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)

-- system architecture: 32-bit

-- xf86-video-intel:
-- xserver:
-- mesa:
-- libdrm:


$ pacman -Q xf86-video-intel xorg-server mesa libdrm
xf86-video-intel 2.8.0-1
xorg-server 1.6.1-8
mesa 7.5.1-2
libdrm 2.4.11-1

-- kernel: vanilla 2.6.32 (as mentioned above this upgrade caused the problem, 2.6.31.4 works fine. and it also works fine if I append i915.modeset=0 to the kernel commandline)
-- Linux distribution: Frugalware Linux 1.2pre1
-- Machine or mobo model: Clevo M450C
-- Display connector: Nothing special, notebook internal LCD

Reproducing steps:

Upgrade to 2.6.32 and reboot.

Given that the box freezes when KMS is enabled, I can't really attach logs - if it's needed, I can attach xorg log and dmesg when KMS is disabled.

Additional info:

The same 2.6.32 kernel on an other machine with an other intel card:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)

just works fine.

I'm attaching the 2.6.32 kernel config I use.

Thanks!

Are you sure the machine hangs?  If you wait for it to boot can you ssh into it?  Another thing to try would be to boot w/o loading the i915 driver (e.g. by booting to single user) then writing a small script to load the driver, collect the log, and reboot.  If you can get a dmesg with the drm debug param set to 1 we might get some good information...

Otherwise you could try a bisect to figure out where things went bad.

As I said earlier, it is responsive till the i915 module is loaded (ie I
can switch the numlock on/off), but at least the display and the
keyboard are no longer accessible after it.

Does it make sense to just load the drm module (or anything else) and
try to see if that outputs anything useful to dmesg _and_ does not
hangs the machine?

> Otherwise you could try a bisect to figure out where things went bad.

Sure, I'll give it a try tomorrow.

    drm/i915: Fix FDI M/N setting according with correct color depth

    FDI M/N calculation hasn't taken the current pipe color depth into account,
    but always set as 24bpp. This one checks current pipe color depth setting,
    and change FDI M/N calculation a little to use bits_per_pixel first, then
    convert to bytes_per_pixel later.

    This fixes display corrupt issue on Arrandle LVDS with 1600x900 panel
    in 18bpp dual-channel mode.

Comment 4 Miklos Vajna 2009-12-04 10:07:45 UTC
I suspect this will be a config issue. I just wanted to make sure that c03342fa6d4617a77cb867ee0ec71665d520eb69 is really good (that's the parent of 58a27471d00dc09945cbcfbbc5cbcdcd3c28211d) and now it's bad as well. I'm trying to produce a "good" and a "bad" config, then attach the diff, just in case you could spot any difference that may be counting.
Comment 5 Miklos Vajna 2009-12-04 19:53:42 UTC
So I did a bisect again but this time I did not limit it to a path and I started every step with a 'cp -f ../config.orig .config && yes "" |make config' to avoid the problem with the always changing config.

Here is the result:

    drm/i915: use ACPI LID status for LVDS ->detect hook

    We can't load or hotplug detect LVDS like we can other outputs, but if
    there's a lid device present we can use it as a proxy.  This allows the
    LFP state to be determined at ->detect time, making configurations
    requiring manual intervention today "just work" assuming the lid device
    status is correct.

Comment 8 Vasyl Demin 2010-01-01 06:09:31 UTC
Same problem on laptop HP Compaq nx9020.
Video: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)
OS: Arch Linux i686
Kernel: 2.6.32.2

When the i915 module is loaded with modeset=1, the screen is blanked and stays
that way, with the following in dmesg:

I just wanted to mention that I tried to upgrade to 2.6.33-rc3, which has the same problem. (And the same patch "fixes" it for me).
Comment 10 Jesse Barnes 2010-02-08 16:43:50 UTC
Sounds like your lid status is incorrect.  What does /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state report on your machine after bootup?  Many machines report "closed" until the first lid switch event...

If that's the case, can you attach the output of 'dmidecode' so we can quirk your machine?

That's right, it reports closed, even if it's obviously open.

Done.

Can you give this patch a try?  Hopefully it'll work around your machine's broken _LID method.
