 that's apparently a gen2 card, as in “very old”, and upstream suggests
 such a setup won't help run GNOME at all. Newer hardware or different
 desktop environment I guess? :-/ Good luck.

This is regression, thus I report it. Everything was working find about
month ago. This is clearly a driver problem, not a hardware problem!

This is not very old, rather just old (Q2'04). I was able to run smoothly
gnome shell on similary old other intel chip (915GM, from Q1'05) in
laptop. Strange that similary equiped desktop chipset cannot do the same
(I can play in many 3D games on it without much problem). For me old is
something more like pre-2000. ;)


Thanks,
Witek

Sorry to waste your time.  My tongue was in cheek when I said kernel
log = kernel bug, and I apologize for that.

However, I fear I must have committed some other offense on top of
that.  Could you elaborate so I know what not to do again?

Confused,

The problem is not the tongue in cheek. The problem is your fiddling
with that bug report while there are (AFAICT) no reasons to reassign it
to the kernel. Kernel maintainers have better things to do. Me too.

Ok, sorry about that.  My choice was reassign a kernel bug concerning
the same problem to libdrm or the libdrm bug to the kernel, or to
leave them unmerged.  I should have said so, I guess.

Honestly, a little kindness could have helped a lot.  I guess you mean
that you do not suspect this is a kernel bug?  You could easily be
right, which is why upstream does not bother to separate DRI bugs from
libdrm ones.  Though in that case the error message could be a lot
better.

If the kernel maintainers have better things to do than tolerate my
help with bugs, I'll be happy to do something else.  Just say the
word.

Leaving bugs as-is was very fine, at least with my libdrm hat.

Since you seem to be missing the big picture, several components are at
play here: kernel (+ possibly firmware in the radeon case), libdrm, x
server, x driver, mesa. And if one of them is sending shitty commands to
the GPU, anything can break havoc. Usually, with the GPU hanging. That
does *not* mean the kernel is at fault, just because there's some line
in the kernel log!

Back to the original topic: it is very difficult for Intel techs to
support old (and I'm just echo-ing their views on hardware) hardware,
even if older versions of the x driver might have worked at some point.
That is sad, but that's the state of affairs today.

KiBi.

I follow right behind you on this note.
I'm still amazed at how much hardware (old and new) this OS supports.

Sorry for the extra noise.

For the record, this has little to do with the OS. It has to do with
upstream support.
