I'm sorry but it still flickers, anyway the rate decreased: I have one
flicker every few minutes.

I don't know if it's related but I want to point out I'm still using XAA
because EXA works badly for me.
  


Is it better with 2.3.1 or (better) latest upstream git? Some possibly
related bugs have been fixed.

[Keeping the CC + adding 466459]

Hello Brice,

No improvement, with 2.3.1 or 2.3.2. The flicker as been there as soon 
as I removed the line 'Option "FramebufferCompression" "false"' in 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf, and for the last 2 weeks.


The lost of video as been here too a bunch of time.

Current version of the driver :

$ dpkg -l | grep video-intel
ii  xserver-xorg-video-intel   2:2.3.2-1  X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, 
i9xx display driver


I can test lastest upstream driver, but I need direction on building it.

Thanks for your time.

Bug#466462: xserver-xorg-video-intel: screen flickers not fixed with last version of the driver

2008-02-18 Thread Fabrice Lorrain
Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Version: 2:2.2.0.90-3

Hello,

BTS entry to confirm that the screen flicker problem is not fixed for
my video card (945GM/GS provided in the mac-mini core 2 duo) with this
new driver.

This flicker is annoying.

Bug#466459: xserver-xorg-video-intel: intel driver loose/crash video at random

2008-02-18 Thread Fabrice Lorrain
Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Version: 2:2.2.0.90-3
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss


Hello,

This driver has been unusable on my mac-mini (core 2 duo) since
novembre (and on several intel chipset, from other bts entries).
It has been crashing X at random resulting in lost of data 
of the current session and breaking any distants ones. 
(most notably my ongoing blobwars game ;-)

If you feel like downgrading the severity, no lower than "serious",
please. This driver is not suitable for lenny.

As reported by others, since the 2.2.x branch of intel driver, X is
going randomly in some suspend mode, and the only way out of it is a plain
reboot. Sucks.

Bug#340445: xserver-xfree86: xfree86 [vesa] confirming memory leek

The leak has been here since the opening of #340445. Xfree86 + vesa driver is 
eating my memory at 50MB/day since then. The lazy fix has been to restart X 
every ~3 weeks.

sarge boxen + Xorg backport (6.9.0.dfsg.1-5bpo2) does not have this pb, but we 
are using 
the i810 driver on those boxen. 

>If not, I will close this bug in the next weeks.
 
XFree86 is dead code...
Closing this bug with "won't fix" is ok with me.

Fabrice,

The current ITP is not frozen :-)

I have a package ready at the moment.  However, it only cleanly builds
with the version of gcc in Sarge.  I have been assured by upstream that
a new release is forthcoming which fixes the build issues with gcc 4.x.
 Once it is out, the package will be updated and uploaded.

Hi,

I've packaged and uploaded a wacom-tools package (still

be useful and which I would like to somehow make available
to Debian users.  The ideal for me of course, is that I
convince you to accept them into the Debian packages and
work them that way toward the appropriate upstream.  I'd
be happy to filter and massage them to suit our packages

good way to distribute this as an 'external' module to our

Re: xfree planned for sarge

2003-12-30 Thread Fabrice Lorrain (home)

Hi all,

No answer after 3 days, let's reword it.

To my knowledge, the following Intel chipsets 
(830M/845G/852GM/855GM/865G) are unsupported in Xfree86-4.2.1 hence 
unsupported in the current sid packages.


They are supported in Xfree-4.3 (cf. [1] or [2] ).
From [1] "Does XFree86 4.2.0 or 4.2.1 support the 845G?" a backport to 
Xfree-4.2.1 seems difficult.


As a sysadmin having hundred of desktops with such chipsets, I'm 
interrested to know the intended support of those for sarge (for now we 
are using an unsupported backport of XFree86-4.3.0 to woody to get those 
desktop running, thanks to V. Golam for taking care of that).


In my previous mail, my babbling about Xfree86-4.3.0 soon in sid came 
from the sheer number of svn commit in this branch and the comment about 
 "time constraints.." on [3].


Out of curiosity, I would appreciate if someone could summup the current 
state of xfree86_4.3.0-0pre1v5 packages and what does prevent them to 
enter sid (appart from left over from the compromision).


A bit more on the Intel chipsets.
AFAK all professionnal desktops from Dell (optiplex series) ship with 
those chipsets (i845G since 09/2002, i865G since 09/2003).

Surfing a bit, that's what I got :
The current HP/Compaq business desktops are also shipped with one of 
these chipsets [4].
IBM desktops seems to have an "Intel Extreme Graphics 2" card. From [5] 
we are back to known univers.

Same chipsets at gateway [6].

re : Another one: parse error reading X server string `intelfb'

2003-12-27 Thread Fabrice Lorrain (home)

...  ...

> I'm stumped, any ideas?

Yep,

- First check your BIOS and set it for more than 1Mo of AGP-RAM.

- You might get some results with a recent kernel, intel's drivers (from 
http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/intel845g/) and framebuffer (in 
septembre, we were able to get X running with such a setup. But swapping 
to text console was crashing it, and on the whole the config was pretty 
unstable).


- As explain at http://www.xfree86.org/~dawes/845driver.html. I845G 
chipset is only supported with Xfree86-4.3... and zgreping 
/usr/share/doc/xserver-xfree86/changelog.Debian.gz on "intel" and "i8" 
does confirm it (debian unstable box with xserver-xfree86-4.2.1-14).
To get Xfree-4.3 on your sarge box, you can either point apt to the 
current packages in experimental, or find a backport to sarge/testing, 
or backporting it your self.

potato(r2) + xfree3.6 + i810 + krnel-2.2.18

2001-01-08 Thread Fabrice Lorrain \(home\)
Hi all,

I didn't get much answer to my previous mail here, so 2nd try: 

In short, I installed potato(r2) on a Dell optiplex gx100 with 
an i810 card and I had to revert to kernel 2.2.17 with the
agpgart module from the xfree-3.3.6 sources to get it working.

Did any of you get the same pb ?

I found a mail from B. Robinson (google search) stating that
agpgart in 2.2.18 and xfree3.3.6 don't get along very well.

Does it mean that actually we can't get potato with xfree-3.3.6
and a kernel-2.2.x (x >=18) running ??

If this is just me that fucked up somewhere, I would appreciate
if so could point me on what I did wrong.

For more information on what I did, you can have a look at my 
saturday mail in the list : 
(Xfree-3.3.6 + i810 + krnl-2.2.18 : precisions wanted)

potato(r2) + xfree3.6 + i810 + krnel-2.2.18

2001-01-08 Thread Fabrice Lorrain (home)

Hi all,

I didn't get much answer to my previous mail here, so 2nd try: 

In short, I installed potato(r2) on a Dell optiplex gx100 with 
an i810 card and I had to revert to kernel 2.2.17 with the
agpgart module from the xfree-3.3.6 sources to get it working.

Did any of you get the same pb ?

I found a mail from B. Robinson (google search) stating that
agpgart in 2.2.18 and xfree3.3.6 don't get along very well.

Does it mean that actually we can't get potato with xfree-3.3.6
and a kernel-2.2.x (x >=18) running ??

If this is just me that fucked up somewhere, I would appreciate
if so could point me on what I did wrong.

For more information on what I did, you can have a look at my 
saturday mail in the list : 
(Xfree-3.3.6 + i810 + krnl-2.2.18 : precisions wanted)

Thank's,

Fab

Xfree-3.3.6 + i810 + krnl-2.2.18 : precisions wanted

2001-01-06 Thread Fabrice Lorrain
Hi all,

I spent my friday afternoon, installing potato (r2) on a 
dell optiplex gx100 with a i810 on board card.

Everything went fluently except the configuration of xfree.

We already avec a buch of boxes here with i810 cards under
debian and Mandrake and until now I didn't have much trouble.

After browsing changelogs, searching mailing lists and using
google quite intensively I found an answer from Brenden to
a similar problem. From memory :
- the implementation of the agpgart module in kernel-2.2.18 
is not compatible with xfree-3.3.6
and the solution proposed where :
- downgrade to 2.2.17
- use C. Botha unofficial xfree-4.0 packages for potato.

First remark : 
- I would be nice if this information where more accessible :
On the debian-x page under the agpgart section for exemple.
Better would be in the documentation comming with the xserver-svga
package.

I did try the unofficial xfree4 packages (deb
http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha/ xf401_potato/i386/) but i seems the
dependence tree is broken :
"xserver-xfree86: Depends: xserver-common (>4.0) but 3.3.6-11potato15 is
to be installed"

So i did revert to kernel 2.2.17 and everything is ok.

Now if i didn't misunderstood anything, we can't have kernel-2.2.18 +
xfree-3.3.6 + i810
cards actualy on potato.
If that's the case, it's an RC bug in the minute, 'cause potato r2 is
shipped with 
kernel-2.2.18PRExx.
otherwise I would appreciate if so could explain what I did wrong and
what is
the pb with xfree-3.3.6 and krnel-2.2.18.

Thank's for your time,

Fab
