Bug#287249: xserver-xfree86: Crashes on SPARC with Elite3D/m6

[Roland Stigge]

Hi,

I've found the Elite3D firmware from Solaris in the
net: /usr/lib/afb.ucode. Loading this (with afbinit), it works. Seems
that the issue of #245246 isn't solved completely. Otherwise, I wouldn't
have encountered this problem. (Or did I miss some warning during the
installation process?)

bye,
  Roland

It works for you because of your setting XkbOptions, but openbox does
not work well with XKB fake keys and needs to be fixed.  I sent a patch
today about #272214, please test it if you are using openbox.

Openbox 3 did break at dfsg-5... it was the Debian keymapping buglet.

It's not present in -10.  Whichever Debian package did the reorganization
of keymaps and related behavior fixed it.  I would suggest that the user
has a local problem.

From my XF86Config-4:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "LiteON SK-6000 Keyboard"
Driver  "keyboard"
Option  "CoreKeyboard"
Option  "XkbRules"  "xfree86"
Option  "XkbModel"  "pc104"
Option  "XkbLayout" "us"
Option  "XkbOptions""altwin:meta_win"
EndSection

From my ~/.Xmodmap:

! remove the function of Caps Lock
! and turn it into Multi

remove lock = Caps_Lock
keycode 66 = Multi_key

! vim: ft=xmodmap nu tw=0 ts=8

I include the above just to show that my configuration is relatively
normal.

Note that gnome-terminal isn't the only application that keeps the
primary selection when it is no longer highlighted. Mozilla, Opera
and Emacs all have the same behavior.

And I don't think this is a wishlist since there's a big and
unacceptable inconsistency: xterm throws the primary selection,
but doesn't clear the cut buffer. This leads to confusion, and
possible data corruption (for this reason, I would see it as an
important bug at least).

If you're right about NVIDIA, it means that I will never be
able to upgrade until I change hardware (as as far as I
understand, the same change was applied to X.org) ? And that
"older hardware" includes hardware that is still produced and
sold by NVIDIA (GF 5900 / NV 35) but is not anymore their
flagship product ?

I am sorry if my message only add noise to this bug, but I am
a little bit stunned by this. Do you know a specific address
where I can complain at NVIDIA or should I call my graphics
adapter vendor and hope it will follow-up ?  Thank you anyway
to have taken time to answer me.

Hmm, there may indeed be issues, in particular related to stuff like
XKB. Someone would have to try... or, if you (or anybody else, for that
matter) want to make snapshots from XFree86 CVS instead, go ahead.

Ah, well, I closed this bug for other reasons, but thanks for following up
with this -- it is indeed information that other users will find useful, I
suspect.

I do plead with you to use reportbug in the future, though.  :)

There's no rule against that, and if I ever get around to uploading a new
version of read-edid (or someone takes me up on my request to NMU it),
read-edid will exist for powerpc as well.

I had no reason to believe it wasn't.

I don't know what the canonical method for a daemon removing its pidfile
is, but patches to xdm and xfs to implement it would be welcome.

If no one else ever bothers with this, someday I reckon I'll do it with
atexit().

But right now this bug simply is not a high priority.

I poked around there for a moment, but could not find anything.  There are
a lot of repositories in there.

We need a URL to a source package, please.

More precisely, what we need are patches (untainted by the XFree86 1.1
license) that will apply cleanly to our SVN trunk, and people willing to
test those patches.

Package: xfree86
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-9

With the recent upgrade in all the xfree86 packages from -8 to -9 of
Debian/Sid, I discovered a bug when using the commercial nvidia drivers.
This bug does not appear when using the xfree86 nv drivers.  It also
does not appear when using the 2.4.28 kernel.  Only the 2.6.9 kernel
caused the problem (I only tested 2.4.28 and 2.6.9).  I have installed
the commercial nvidia drivers in vanilla fashion directly from the
vendor.  I have used the "--force-tls=classic" switch which is required
for some of my legacy applications.

The symptom is that Xfree86 fails on startup.  No (EE) messages are
produced.  Only the following error message is produced (nvidia driver,
2.6.9 kernel).

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11.  Server aborting


I worked around the problem by using the 2.4.28 kernel.  I presently
cannot use the 2.6.9 kernel.

I expect this bug will be rejected since the nvidia driver is not part
of xfree86.  However, since one purpose of this new upgrade may be to
include the packages in Sarge, and since there are Debian packages for
the installation of the commercial nvidia drivers, I felt it important
to disclose this bug.

[patch re-attached to this mail]

I'm pretty nervous about changing a public Xlib data structure like this.
Can someone patiently explain to me why there's no way this could possibly
be construed as an ABI change?

I would just change line 69 of debian/rules from:

IMAKE_DEFINES:=-DXFree86CustomVersion='\"Debian $(SOURCE_VERSION) $(TIMESTAMP) 
$(BUILDER)\"'

 to:

IMAKE_DEFINES:=-DXFree86CustomVersion='\"Debian $(SOURCE_VERSION) $(TIMESTAMP) 
$(BUILDER)\"' -DDefaultGcc2OptimizeOpt=-O0

That's plenty good enough for a private version of the packages.

My Spanish is pretty rusty, but I'd recongize the number 139 anywhere.  It
means a process exited due to a segfault.

I don't think your diagnosis is quite right.  You were the only person to
report this particular problem, so if the problem were this general,
there'd have been tons of reports.

I do know for a fact that discover 2.x has had some pretty awful SEGV
problems recently, but they've been fixed in the most recent upload or so.

On the other hand, the xserver-xfree86 maintainer scripts are written to
handle discover failing horribly.

So, we really don't know what is going wrong here.  Can you still reproduce
this bug?  Try removing discover.

Needless to say, Fabio and I did not see this problem, or we wouldn't have
released the package.

Sounds like the same problem that afflicts sawfish.  It may be that openbox
is buggy.

Have you read the entry "My keyboard configuration worked with XFree86 4.2;
why is it messed up now?" in the Debian X FAQ?

The only remaining bugs regarding this issue at this point appear to be in
X clients.

You may interested in directing the openbox hackers to following fairly
detailed message about the issue:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2004/09/msg00306.html

The Debian BTS has retained archived reports for several years now, only
closed reports from a very long time ago are no longer available.

See if you don't feel a bug report against openbox is warranted after
reviewing the above.

Bug#284111: xserver-xfree86: Doesn't scan PCI domains above 0000 on startup

Hmmh, my patch didn't change the behavior as far as domains are
concerned.  The old code also looked only at domain 0, IIRC.

I'm not terribly familiar with multi-domain machines.  From what I
recall, the domain-changes to /proc/bus/pci were SPARC-specific and
I'm not sure whether that approach is the final answer.  I cc'd Bjorn
Helgaas and Alex Williamson in case they want to comment, since they
have more experience with large/multi-domain Itanium machines.

Bug#273993: The error is still in newer packages

Just FYI, if the package changelog doesn't say the nv driver hasn't been
patched since -7, you can be pretty confident that you won't see a change
in behaviors specific to the nv driver.

At present no one seems to have any suggestions for moving forward, and
it's an open secret that the only people who can maintain the nv driver are
the folks at NVidia.  Maybe they just don't care about older hardware that
much any more.

Hmm, I guess it got destroyed in the compromise[1].

Yes; I apologize for hastily dismissing your report.  The fix is probably a
for and a break away, but I think I will CC David Mosberger on this
message, as he almost certainly has more clues to bring to the table than I
do.

I wonder how many domains we should look for before we give up.  I get the
feeling doing an ftw() on /proc/pci/pci is not a good idea.  Even doing as
much as a readdir() feels wrong, but maybe not.  :-P

It would seem the upstream Imakefiles don't see fit to install these image
files to the destination directory.  This is an upstream bug.

Would you file a bug report on this subject against the xspecs package?
Feel free to use this mail as the body of your report.

  Hi,

  I'm running debian testing on Acer travelmate 354TE which has:
:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems CyberBlade/i1 (rev 
5d)

videochip installed. The problem is that mplayer with XV video output
locks up entire box, kernel doesn't response, network dead, sysrq magic
keys also dead. Tried it on debian's 2.4.27 and custom compiled kernel
with and without acpi, pci=noacpi in any combination, anyhow it is
always reprodusable, but it NEVER lock-up when I start mplayer for the
1st time, sometimes I can start mplayer for the 2nd and 3rd time, but
any subsequent mplayers start increase prababilty of system lock.

  Examining
  
http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/CHANGELOG?rev=HEAD
  I see various fixes for the trident driver, which of them are
incorporated in debian version? Is there newer debian source package of
xserver which I try?

  Thanks in advance!

PS: here's device section of XFree86-4 config file:
Section "Device"
Identifier  "Trident Microsystems CyberBlade/i1"
Driver  "trident"
Option  "CyberShadow"   "false"

How general/specific is this problem?

Does it apply to just a few models of Radeon card?  Can we expect it to
apply to all future Radeon cards that have more than 128MB of RAM on them?
Is this a problem on any non-ATI video cards?

Okay, that makes more sense.  Note that this string is not the same as the

Actually if you use an alias instead of a shell function for this, it
should work right.

I remember now that I was using ls deliberately, because I wanted one
script name per line.

But I'm killing off the internal run_parts() anyway in -11.
