Bug#584186: xserver-xorg-video-intel: refuses to start with "(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.", ignoring plea to ignore DDC
Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel Version: 2:2.3.2-2+lenny6 Severity: important I've got a workstation with an intel chipset Q45/Q43 plugged connected through a video extender. I've verified that the video extender propogates DDC/EDID data, and 'get-edid | parse-edid' returns the params for the local display. Nevertheless, X fails with "(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration." if the machine is booted with the monitor plugged in through the extender, and works if the monitor is plugged in directly when the machine is booted. The same also holds for another monitor that returns invalid edid data (this monitor is what we ultimately aim to use in production) according to parse-edid, but Xorg still picks valid modes when the monitor is plugged into the video card natively (and fails when plugged in through the video extender). I have tried everything I can to convince X to ignore DDC etc and force modelines that I know are valid. Some of these attempts are shown in xorg.conf below. The display can be forced to show when I upgrade to testing and unstable, but the intel driver in combination with XV overlays is unreliable as heck, with and without KMS, and I get (known about but unfixed) gem related crashes half the time when using xrandr to switch modes. As such, I simply cannot upgrade to sid, because this is going to be an embedded system that has to be reliable. I wonder if this is the same as https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14611 (but that's so long ago, surely the patch has been applied even to stable by now?) If that patch indeed hasn't been applied, then can it be, because it's a simple bug fix? Another bug of possible-but-unlikely relevance is debian #438650 where the old i830 driver appears (from Brice Goblin's comment) unconditionally to look at what the valid crtcs are, and ignores the user's requests in xorg.conf. -- Package-specific info: Contents of /var/lib/x11/X.roster: xserver-xorg /var/lib/x11/X.md5sum does not exist.

Attached is a patch for this option that works for me. Or it would, if
it weren't for #545896:
,
| $ /etc/init.d/xdm status
| xdm is running.
| $ /etc/init.d/rsync status
| could not access PID file for rsync ... failed!
`
Nevertheless, I think the patch could be committed to git.

Bug#201855: xdm autologin important for tiny devices
Le 01/06/2010 08:31, jida...@jidanni.org a écrit : > Every day for the last 10 years I've had to type in username and > password. Can somebody tell me how to get some relief without having to > switch display managers, for heavens sake You've been complaining about all this for 7 years. It would have taken less time to implement the feature yourself. Nobody else will do it. So if you don't want to switch to another DM, you have to implement it. And don't tell me you don't know how to implement it, since 7 years is way enough to learn what's needed here. Also, if you really want autologin, did you try removing xdm entirely and hacking your startup scripts so as to start the user X session directly? May be ugly, but maybe less horrible than entering your login/passwd every day for the last 10 years :) Brice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
