Re: [XFree86] XFree86 freezes in minutes (was:Trident Blade, "no screens")
Thanks. I think this is really a bit of a conundrum -- on my RH7.x system, Trident is mentioned in the XFree86 config file, and SiS is not. And on my RH9 system, running on the very same hardware, SiS is mentioned, and Trident is not. Both configurations seem to cause X to come up on the PCI video card. I haven't tried to max out the resolution on either RH7 or RH9, but both seem to support 1400x1050. I suspect this is impossible, and I must be failing to observe something. The crashing is the symptom I care more about, of course, and I will take your advice about the SiS drivers. But in the future, I will avoid like the plague motherboards with onboard video. Thanks again. -jmc David Dawes writes: > On Fri, Nov 14, 2003 at 04:30:54AM -0800, John Chandler wrote: [...] > >Does anyone have an opinion as to whether the freezing I'm seeing > >is an XFree86 issue or something else?

[XFree86] XFree86 freezes in minutes (was:Trident Blade, "no screens")
When I bring up my newly-installed RH9/XFree86 it locks up within minutes, usually when I do something innocuous like launch emacs or click a menu bar so that the app begins to render a drop-down menu. This happens whether I'm using Gnome or KDE, even at low resolutions. This is extremely frustrating, because the new graphic environment looks wonderful, but before I can use it, the machine locks up hard. When I boot my old RH 7.x on the exact same hardware (except different HD), it stays up for days or weeks. So something works better the old way. It could be the old XFree86, or it could be the old config file, or it could be something else, I suppose. The motherbord has an onboard video interface which I've configured not to be the first video interface initialized. This is apparently all I can do to discourage it from being used. I also have a PCI add-on card to which the monitor is attached. I have lost the docs to the motherboard and the add-on video card. That'll teach me, huh? (--) PCI:*(0:8:0) Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS300/305 PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter rev 144, Mem @ 0xd000/27, 0xe000/17, I/O @ 0xdc00/7 (--) PCI: (1:0:0) Trident Microsystems CyberBlade/i1 rev 106, Mem @ 0xdd80/23, 0xde00/17, 0xdd00/23 There is some question as to which interface is the SiS and which is the Trident. The opinion of the experts on this list appears to be that the Trident is the on-board interface and the SiS is the add-on card. But on the old system that stays up forever, /etc/X11/XF86Config does not mention the SiS interface. The string, "sis" is not found by a case-insensitive search of the file. The Trident interface *is* mentioned:: [...] # ** # Graphics device section # ** # Any number of graphics device sections may be present Section "Device" Identifier"Generic VGA" VendorName"Unknown" BoardName "Unknown" Chipset "generic" #VideoRam 256 #Clocks 25.2 28.3 EndSection # Device configured by Xconfigurator: Section "Device" Identifier "Trident CyberBlade (generic)" VendorName "Unknown" BoardName "Unknown" #VideoRam32768 # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate EndSection # ** # Screen sections # ** [...] Would the older XFree86 work properly with this config file if the monitor were attached to a(n) SiS interface? That would be odd, wouldn't it? On the other hand, when I reinstalled RedHat and told it I had an SiS video interface X did come up, whereas when I let it configure itself with the Trident as the interface (what it finds when it probes), the screen went dark when X launched, and never came back. Which makes it sound like "Trident" is *not* what the monitor is attached to, and "SiS" is. I'd be happy to go with what gets X to come up on the new system and just forget about the old one, but it crashes so easily, something's obviously not right. Can anyone suggest what else I should look at? Thanks, and I realize nobody's getting paid for the advice given here. Please, someone, toss me a clue! -jmc | Thomas Winischhofer writes: | > John Chandler wrote: | > > > >(--) PCI:*(0:8:0) Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS300/305 PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter rev 144, Mem @ 0xd000/27, 0xe000/17, I/O @ 0xdc00/7 | > > > >(--) PCI: (1:0:0) Trident Microsystems CyberBlade/i1 rev 106, Mem @ 0xdd80/23, 0xde00/17, 0xdd00/23 | > > > | > [...] | > > The monitor is not connected to the on-board video card, it is | > | > This is slightly OT: Is the SiS 300/305 really on-board?

[XFree86] XFree86 freezes in minutes (was:Trident Blade, "no screens")
I notice a deafening silence on this topic all of a sudden. Have I offended my hosts or become tiresome? Please accept my apologies. Does anyone have an opinion as to whether the freezing I'm seeing is an XFree86 issue or something else? Does RH9 do this a lot? I'd consider hardware deficiencies, but when I boot my old RH 7.x on the exact same hardware (except different HD), it stays up for days, vs. minutes w/RH9 and the new XFree86. Adjusting the resolution to "pathetically low" doesn't fix it. Feel free to recommend that I have someone cut the traces to the onboard video, replace my motherboard, install SUSE, etc. I presume XFree86 is *the* X server at this point, but I'm even open to changing that if you think it would be an option -- I am stuck at RedHat 7.something until I get past this.

[XFree86] Supported video card
Since I've been having some problems getting XFree86 to come up properly, I've been wondering if I shouldn't just get a new video card to eliminate the uncertainty of what card to specify in the config file. Two questions: 1. If I say, "Chaintech nVidia GeForce MX400 64MB AGP," does anyone break out in hives? Is there a list of video cards that are either very well supported or have been problematic in practice? (erm, Three Questions!) 2. There used to be a configurator program that allowed me to pick video cards, monitors, etc. from lists, but this seems to have been left in the dustbin of CVS. Currently, I am aware of two ways to configure XFree86: A. run "XFree86 --reconfigure" and hope it does the right thing (which in my case it doesn't), or B. edit the config file by hand, making sure to spell everything right. Is that it, or is there a utility that replaces the old configurator and allows that kind of constrained choice? -jmc ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

Other than reading the mfr's name off the card (which I've tried but I can't find anything helpful printed there), or just managing to remember what I was doing 18 months ago, how do I tell? The info above came from software probes, and it appears that one line describes an SiS AGP interface. It is also intuitively appealing to think of the integrated peripherals as having PCI id's starting with 0 rather than 1, but I don't know if that really means anything. My recollection is that the on-board interface had 1/4 MB, which is why I replaced it. Is the amount of RAM specified by one of those numbers? That might be a clue. -jmc ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

And of course, I've lost the docs for the add-on card, too. I'd look at the mfr's web site, but there's not much writing on the card, so I don't know *what* mfr. (It's amazing how worthless a card can become without docs.) What I do have is the XF86Config file that works with this add-on card. I attach it below, and perhaps it reveals something. I note that in the "Graphics device" sections, the VideoRam lines are commented out (I don't know why, and don't remember doing it), but it is my vague recollection that the on-board interface had 1/4 MB and the add-on had 32MB.

The monitor is not connected to the on-board video card, it is connected to the one that is mounted in a PCI slot. The on-board video has a very small amount of RAM and would only support Fisher-Price resolutions. Apparently the only thing I can do in the BIOS is specify which of the two to initialize first, I can't make the on-board one disappear entirely.

[XFree86] Trident Blade anomaly on Redhat 9 (shrike)
XFree86 -- This could fundamentally be a Red Hat issue, but maybe I can recover with a word of advice from you. I have a video card I got over a year ago and for which I've lost the docs. When installing RedHat 9, it is probed as a Trident Blade, and the graphical install works fine. When I boot the installed system, X fails to come up. The message has something to do with "no screens found." I would email you the entire file, but I don't currently have my email config set up on the new system. If necessary, I'll sneakernet it, but I'm wondering if this is a strange problem or one that you've seen a million times. RedHat may even have fixed it -- this is a relatively old version of RedHat 9 -- the CD's were burned circa May 2003. But if possible I don't want to burn a new set (the PITA factor). If you can't help me, or need more info in order to do so, please tell me. Thanks. -jmc ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
