Bug#245021: xserver-xfree86: X crashes sometimes while i830 driver is loaded, leaves screen unusable and garbled
Thanks. Removing the xscreensaver-gl package seems to have fixed the problem.

With this patch, the correct horizontal sync and vertical refresh rates show up in my XF86Config-4 file. As for my earlier comment about the video modes, I see that there is no attempt to compute possible video modes. I think the X configuration software should offer the highest video modes supported. I'm pretty sure this can be computed from the available information. After all, the X server is able to determine whether a video mode is too high, and other distributions' X configuration programs have been able to give me 1152x864 on this hardware for some time without my having to override anything. With respect to the above patch, the code in xserver-xfree86.config definitely seems to be written with this intention. Prior to this patch, the variables DEFAULT_HORIZ_SYNC and DEFAULT_VERT_REFRESH are not used after being set to the results found by get-edid. (Search for "get-edid reports", then search for "DEFAULT_HORIZ_SYNC".) The names of the variables certainly suggest that they should be used for this purpose. They are also unconditionally set to the previous values (28-50, 43-75) so that in the case where get-edid does not report something, this patch doesn't change the behavior. In other words, this patch seems very safe. I hope you will consider including it. -- Jay Berkenbilt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.ql.org/q/

You'll notice that the 30-107 and 50-150 values appear in the output. Right after the "Attempt monitor autodetection" question: > xserver-xfree86 config note: get-edid reports horizonal sync of "30-107" > xserver-xfree86 config note: get-edid reports vertical refresh of "50-150" Then again after entering monitor identifier: > xserver-xfree86 config note: $HORIZ_SYNC: "30-107" ; $VERT_REFRESH: "50-150"; >setting question priority to low Yet after choosing "Advanced" for monitor characteristics, I still see 28-50 and 43-75. These values also end up in the final configuration file with medium and high debconf priority when I am not asked about the monitor characteristics. If I go through this process and explicitly enter 30-107 and 50-150, the configuration program still suggests only 800x600 and 640x480 as video modes. If I explicitly add 1152x864 and 1024x768, they do work presuming that I have correctly entered the horizontal sync and vertical refresh. In the attached typescript file, I have accepted the defaults to all questions except that I told it not to emulate a 3 button mouse and I told it to autodetect whenever possible. I hope this information is useful. For what it's worth, I started running XFree86 in 1992 when you had to calculate all the numbers by hand, and I'm an experienced programmer as well, so don't be afraid to ask me to do things like applying a patch to /var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xfree86.config and running dpkg-reconfigure. I'll spend a few minutes looking at this file anyway, particularly to try to see why the detected values aren't making into the prompts. If I find something that works, I'll post a patch. The rest of this message is the typescript file with ^M's removed and ^H's cleaned up (i.e. A^HB replaced by B). -- Jay Berkenbilt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.ql.org/q/ -- Script started on Sat 24 Apr 2004 05:55:05 PM EDT soup[1]# apt-get install xserver-xfree86 Reading Package Lists... 0%Reading Package Lists... 0%Reading Package Lists... 9%Reading Package Lists...
