Bug#428711: Ping: Bug#428711: xserver-xorg: xorg suddenly locks up Thinkpad i1300/Silicon Motion
I just tested with the latest and greatest xorg in testing. Behavior is slightly different now: $ lspci Controller 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Motion, Inc. SM712 LynxEM+ (rev a0) xorg is trying to drive this graphics card with a neomagic driver now, which of course fails. I forced loading of the siliconmotion driver by manually adding appropriate device and screen entries to xorg.conf, and I am back to a blank screen and locked up keyboard, just like before.

Hi, Is 1.2.99.901-1 or 1.2.99.902-1 generated? It is remembered that it was between 1.2.99.901-1 and 1.2.99.902-1 that the condition from which VT is set to blank screen by my machine began to occur. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Everything works under snapshot.debian.net/archive/2007/03/08/debian/ --> xserver-xorg-core=2:1.1.1-19 --> xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion=1:1.4.1-4 Replace above xserver-xorg-core (and nothing else changes) with xserver-xorg-core=2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-11 from testing and it breaks.

Brice, I just added the "testing" version of only xserver-xorg-core to the snapshot.debian.net/archive/2007/03/08/debian/ version of xorg. And then booted into a blank screen. After downgrading xserver-xorg-core back down to snapshot.debian.net/archive/2007/03/08/debian/ everything worked again. It would appear the problem is indeed probably in xserver-xorg-core and not the siliconmotion module. Clayton -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

As I recall, apt-get was unwilling to easily let me do otherwise. So I do not think the combination of unstable xserver-xorg-core 1.3 and stable siliconmotion 1.4.1 was ever tested.

Clayton, do you know exactly which combination of xserver-xorg-core and xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion you tried so far? I forwarded your bug upstream at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11845 and the developer wants to know whether you were using the same driver when you said xserver-xorg-core 1.1 worked while 1.3 gave a black screen. I guess you initially had xserver-xorg-core 1.1 with siliconmotion 1.4.1 (all from etch). Then you upgraded to 1.3 + 1.5.1 (current testing) from what I see at the end of your first report. Then you probably downgraded back to 1.3 + 1.4.1 to get something working again. IIRC xserver-xorg-core 1.3 (testing/unstable) should work with siliconmotion 1.4.1 (etch/stable). Did/could you check this combination? It would help us be sure whether the problem is in the server or the driver. Feel free to either reply direct in the upstream bug above or reply here and will be forward your reply there.

No progress I am afraid, the same blank screen and locked keyboard for both the vesa and silicon motion drivers using latest unstable xorg.

Hmmm, 424684 is reporting: (EE) VESA(0): No matching modes For vesa, in my log I am seeing: (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. But I can't say that I remember actually ever *seeing* vesa run on this machine. It is just notable that in the current messed-up state behavior is exactly the same as when using the Silicon Motion driver. > > Post upgrade, this machine is now dead in the water. > > Try downgrading with > http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2007/03/08/debian/pool/main/x/xorg-server/xserver-xorg-core_1.1.1-20_i386.deb I actually had to downgrade all of the xorg packages to http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2007/03/08/debian/ to get the xserver to run, it was complaining about package versions not matching. But after some pulling of the hair, I succeeded (thank you apt-get) and X is working again. So we can't say for sure it is xserver-xorg-core, from this experiment. If I can help debugging in any other way, don't hesitate to ask. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bug#428711: xserver-xorg: xorg suddenly locks up Thinkpad i1300/Silicon Motion
Package: xserver-xorg Version: 1:7.2-5 Severity: important I track testing with this machine. It was working just fine with xorg/siliconmotion module until I upgraded to the current testing version. Now starting X results in a blank screen, and a locked up keyboard (Ctl-Alt-F1, Ctl-Alt-Backspace seem to have no effect). I can still log in through the network. The appended log file contains: (EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable Note that I did make this go away at one point by turning off AIGLX, and behavior was unchanged. I also tried the vesa module, and had exactly the same result: blank screen, unresponsive keyboard. Post upgrade, this machine is now dead in the water. -- Package-specific info: Contents of /var/lib/x11/X.roster: xserver-xorg /etc/X11/X target does not match checksum in /var/lib/x11/X.md5sum.
