Description Sérgio Martins 2006-01-17 03:20:47 UTC
Hi,

I have an intel i855 chipset, when i press Fn+F5(CRT/LCD) my computer just stops
responding and a strange line appearson my desktop.

I already had this problem with Xorg-6.8

Can you upload a log file ?

Comment 5 Alan Hourihane 2006-01-31 04:24:58 UTC
Sorry, I should have been more clear.

I need a logfile that's produced after hitting the Fn+F5 key.

You may need to ssh in over a network connection to get the logfile.
Comment 6 Alan Hourihane 2006-01-31 04:26:51 UTC
Additionally, you might want to try a test driver from

http://www.fairlite.demon.co.uk/intel.html

or if you prefer, to compile the CVS of X.Org to get a later i810 driver.

Xorg.0.log after crash

My system normaly freezes after Fn+F5 (not only X), but sometimes
only X freezes. I logged into a console and copied the log after the crash.
Comment 8 Alan Hourihane 2006-01-31 04:51:06 UTC
According to that log, it was a normal Xserver termination. Something you'd
normally get if you'd pressed CTRL+ALT+BKSPACE or exited the last X client.

I can't see anything wrong here.

So, you might want to try that other driver I mentioned, and additionally see if
your machine has got a later BIOS.
Comment 9 Sérgio Martins 2006-01-31 05:09:57 UTC
> I can't see anything wrong here.
What's wrong is that i didn't tell Xorg to shutdown, neither to freeze :\

I tried the driver from http://www.fairlite.demon.co.uk/intel.html, when X
startsup a black screen appears, and my keyboard/mouse are unresponsive.


Comment 10 Sérgio Martins 2006-01-31 05:44:07 UTC
The last log i uploaded doesnt show nothing special, the only thing it shows is
me switching to another console (ctrl+alt+F2). I tried over the network, and it
shows this:

(...)
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Keyboard0" (type: KEYBOARD)
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Mouse0" (type: MOUSE)
(II) Mouse0: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded
Read from remote host 81.84.56.136: Connection reset by peer
Connection to 81.84.56.136 closed.

So nothing is logged.
Comment 11 Alan Hourihane 2006-01-31 06:04:53 UTC
O.k. Try looking for an updated BIOS for your machine.
Comment 12 Sérgio Martins 2006-02-01 05:22:14 UTC
There's no bios update.

Maybe if there was a way to disable Fn+F5, if we can't fix the problem we could
at least hide it.

Think its possible?
Comment 13 Alan Hourihane 2006-02-02 08:20:05 UTC
Did you try my comment from comment #6 ??

Make sure you also download the new libshadow.so too.
Comment 14 Sérgio Martins 2006-02-02 08:48:06 UTC
I tried libshadow.so and i810_drv.so, i noticed some differences:

a)
dmesg said:
[drm:drm_unlock] *ERROR* Process 9605 using kernel context

b)
LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo said i had directed rendering turned off:

XF86DRIQueryDirectRenderingCapable returned false


But my big problem remains:
Fn+F5 still crashes everything


Comment 15 Alan Hourihane 2006-02-02 22:33:04 UTC
I'm not sure we can disable the Fn+F5 key as it's a system key, but it may be
possible through the kernel.

But can you try this option..

Option "CheckDevices" "off"

in your Device Section to see if it helps.
Comment 16 Sérgio Martins 2006-02-03 03:39:44 UTC
Option "CheckDevices" "off" didn't help.
Comment 17 Alan Hourihane 2006-02-03 03:44:40 UTC
Does it work at the console (i.e. when not running X) ???
Comment 18 Alan Hourihane 2006-02-03 03:47:26 UTC
Another option to try which will disable all acceleration, but at least we might
get closer to knowing the actual problem is

Option "NoAccel"

Comment 19 Sérgio Martins 2006-02-03 04:35:55 UTC
Hum, I thought the bug didn't appear in the console last time i checked...
Well, it does, even when my OS is loading, it crashes.

It's not a hardware problem since it doesn't crash grub or windows.

So happly for you it isn't a xorg bug :=)

I'll google a bit and maybe i'll find it.
Comment 20 Alan Hourihane 2006-02-03 04:37:39 UTC
ok, good luck on finding the solution.
