Bug#901330: xserver-xorg-core: Consider autobind-GPUs patch

[Sam Morris]

Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 1.19.6-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream patch

Red Hat, Fedora and Ubuntu have been carrying (an older iteration of)
the attached patch for a while. It makes external displays on laptops
such as the Lenono P50, which wires them to the discrete GPU only,
usable without explicit configuration by the end user (e.g., arranging
to run xrandr --setprovideroutputsource during login).

I've been testing this on my laptop for a few days and haven't seen any
particular problems with it (I have filed separate bugs for the other
issues that I've seen while testing).

NB, after applying the patch, you still have to enable the AutoBindGPU
option in a ServerFlags section of xorg.conf. It would be nice if the
functionality could be enabled by default, as it is in the other
distributions that ship earlier versions of the patch.

Works like a dream. Undocking and re-docking again worked at least once,
but it's not totally reliable. On the other hand it's much better than a
crash. :)

Looking at that file in nouveau's source code:

static void
drmmode_output_dpms(xf86OutputPtr output, int mode)
{
drmmode_output_private_ptr drmmode_output = output->driver_private;
drmModeConnectorPtr koutput = drmmode_output->mode_output;
drmModePropertyPtr props;
drmmode_ptr drmmode = drmmode_output->drmmode;
int mode_id = -1, i;

for (i = 0; i < koutput->count_props; i++) { // <-- this line!
props = drmModeGetProperty(drmmode->fd, koutput->props[i]);
if (props && (props->flags & DRM_MODE_PROP_ENUM)) {
if (!strcmp(props->name, "DPMS")) {
mode_id = koutput->props[i];
drmModeFreeProperty(props);
break;
}
drmModeFreeProperty(props);
}
}

Examining some variables:

(gdb) p i
$7 = 0

(gdb) p koutput
$8 = (struct _drmModeConnector *) 0x0

(gdb) p *drmmode_output
$9 = {
  drmmode = 0x557578bf9370, 
  output_id = 73, 
  mode_output = 0x0, 
  mode_encoder = 0x557578bf96a0, 
  edid_blob = 0x0, 
  num_props = 10, 
  props = 0x557578c38f10
}

So anyway... are you likely to consider that alternative patch to Xorg,
to make it not consider nouveau for newer devices? I have tested it and
it works fine--although another bug (#900877) makes the modesetting
driver not work with external displays.

Bug#900877: xserver-xorg-core: Can't use external displays wired via GM107GLM driven by modesetting

[Sam Morris]

Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 2:1.20.0-2
Severity: normal

I'm unable to use external monitors with the modesetting driver on my
Lenovo P50 with 1.20.

The X server logs the following:

(II) modeset(0): Allocate new frame buffer 5760x2160 stride
randr: falling back to unsynchronized pixmap sharing
(EE) modeset(G0): failed to set mode: No such file or directory

... which appears to be caused by:

getpid()= 1410
getpid()= 1410
ioctl(13, DRM_IOCTL_MODE_SETGAMMA, 0x7ffcce40f3c0) = 0
ioctl(13, DRM_IOCTL_MODE_SETCRTC, 0x7ffcce40f2b0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file 
or directory)
--- SIGALRM {si_signo=SIGALRM, si_code=SI_KERNEL} ---
rt_sigreturn({mask=[]}) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
write(2, "(EE) modeset(G0): failed to set "..., 64) = 64

I've switched back to the nouveau driver, which is able to use the
displays, but has other problems with this video card.

According to :

The newer nouveau versions add support for Maxwell/Pascal (against
my recommendation...), however, the nouveau DDX cannot handle DP MST
hotplugging, which at least the P50 dock makes use of.  I suspect
this is the cause of the dock issues on the newer version.

In F26/rawhide, I've modified the xserver to autoconfigure
'modesetting' on new NVIDIA GPUs.  For F25, I'll probably submit a
revert patch for just Maxwell/Pascal.

I'm seeing a lot of gnome-shell crashes caused by this! The symptoms are
that when I unsuspend my Lenovo P50, or dock or undock it, or plug or
unplug a monitor, or switch VCs a few times, there's a high probability
of seeing this pattern of crashes:

gnome-shell notices that Xwayland has aborted, and kills itself, after logging 
the following:

Note that Xwayland itself is not logging any messages; they are passed

This should be fixed by mutter 3.26.3 is out. Other useful references:

Bug#688860: xserver-xorg-input-evdev: mouse cursor jumping with absolute input device

[Sam Morris]

Package: xserver-xorg-input-evdev
Version: 1:2.7.0-1
Severity: important
Forwarded: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54353

When running inside a VirtualBox virtual machine with mouse integration
enabled, the mouse cursor will randomly jump to the top and/or left of
the screen.

A workaround is described in
, and it works
for me, though I can not say what other side effects are caused by not
resetting the valuator mask after motion events are posted.

(Would have been forwarded to https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/10853
before I knew this was an Xorg bug.)

[Sam Morris]

For some time I've been dealing with this happening whenever I move a
window to the left:

http://www.virtualbox.org/attachment/ticket/8909/corruption.png

My CPU is an Intel Core i7 920.

I'm finding using my computer fairly madenning because of this bug,
which is worked around by activating the memmove preload library. I
would appreciate it if the patch could be applied to the Debian packages
of Xorg soon.

Unfortunately I no longer use the hardware that I filed this bug with. I
currently only run Debian in a VM, anyway. AFAIR, this bug only happened
once though so I'm willing to chalk it up to cosmic rays.

I haven't seen this bug for quite a while, but I don't use (and suspend)

This has been fixed for some time... either by updating to 2.6.32 or
mesa 7.7. For some reason I didn't link this bug to the upstream bug.
Sorry about that.

I'm already using 7.6. Are there packages of 7.7 anywhere, or is it
possible/easy to build mesa 7.7 and use it with LD_LIBRARY_PATH or some
similar method?

Bug#540191: xserver-xorg-video-intel: libclutter is unusably slow

[Sam Morris]

This seems to be fixed in unstable with intel 2:2.9.0-1. I'm also now
running 2.6.31, so maybe it was a kernel-side fix.

I'm not marking the bug as done because it's still open upstream, so it
might just be a co-incidence that it appears to be fixed. :)

With the current version of the driver (and Linux 2.6.31), things are a

I downgraded drm-snapshot to the version in unstable and it didn't make
any difference. I then downgraded xserver-xorg-video-intel to the
version in unstable and everything is OK again!

So I guess the problem started when

2009-06-19 00:28:54 upgrade xserver-xorg-video-intel-dbg 2:2.7.99.1-2 
2:2.7.99.901-2

and I simply hadn't restarted my system since then, despite what the

very well. :)

Bug#535300: libdrm-intel1: gvim takes ages to redraw its window, X takes 100% of the CPU

[Sam Morris]

Package: libdrm-intel1
Version: 2.4.11+git+20090630+de1ed01-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Since I started X this morning, gvim has become unusably slow. It takes several
seconds to redraw its window when resized/exposed, during which X is eating
100% of the CPU.

I'm filing this against drm-snapshot because it's the only X-related package
that I have upgraded since the 19th of June. But please reassign it elsewhere
if it belongs somewhere else. :)

Ok--after I boot up, there is no /dev/dri directory. However after I get
into X (via startx currently), I see:

crw-rw 1 root video 226, 0 2009-03-31 18:03 /dev/dri/card0

which looks normal to me.

Would the absence of this device cause the whole system to lock up
though?

retitle 522054 OpenGL malfunctions and causes crashes
reassign 522054 libdrm-intel1
found 522054 2.4.5-2
thanks

I downgraded libdrm2 and libdrm-intel1 to version 2.4.4+git+20090205
+8b88036-1 and Blender and my own OpenGL program now work again!

This also caused libgl1-mesa-dri and libgl1-mesa-glx to be downgraded to
version 7.0.3-7.

Bug#522054: xserver-xorg-video-intel: OpenGL screwed up

[Sam Morris]

bts retitle 522054 xserver-xorg-video-intel: OpenGL malfunctions and causes 
crashes
thanks

I've done some more testing and this happens with both 2.6.26 and
2.6.29.

Attached is what the X server prints to the console when started via
'startx'.

I've got libdrm-intel1 from experimental (2.4.4+git+20090205+8b880361-1) and
linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64 from testing.

I'll give a newer kernel version a go and see if it makes a difference. Which
is the minimum version needed for GEM with intel?

Bingo!

X: ../../../libdrm/intel/intel_bufmgr_fake.c:1107: 
drm_intel_fake_bo_validate: Assertion `bo_fake->block->bo == &bo_fake->bo' 
failed.
xinit:  connection to X server lost.

In this particular instance I was left with a blank screen and no
keyboard input. Fortunately the x server abort does not take out the
power button so I was able to restart sanely by hitting my power
button. :)

Bug#514723: xserver-xorg-video-intel: After resuming from suspend, playing a movie kills the x server

[Sam Morris]

Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Version: 2:2.6.1-1
Severity: important

After I resume from suspend, trying to play a movie in totem or mplayer causes
the x server to exit. I guess it's actually the use of XVideo that causes the
problem.

Unfortunately, nothing shows up in the x server log. However, the following
kernel messages are logged:

Feb 10 12:00:35 durandal kernel: [208836.264371] [drm:i915_getparam] *ERROR* 
Unknown parameter 5

Thanks for the info. I already have libgl1-mesa-dri and libgl1-mesa-glx
installed from experimental though... or is it that the intel driver
still needs to be ported to DRI2?

Bug#511007: Segfault starting X server

[Sam Morris]

Package: xserver-xorg-core
Followup-For: Bug #511007

To clarify my previous remark... While 'Xorg -configure' works fine, running
Xorg with the generated configuration file still causes the segfault.

Bug#511007: xserver-xorg-core: Segfault starting X server

[Sam Morris]

Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 2:1.5.3-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I've been happily using xserver 1.5 for a few days. I rebooted today, and now
the X server won't start. This also happens when running 'Xorg -configure', so
I don't think it's my config file that's the problem.

I'm not sure how to get a better backtrace from gdb; fill me in and I'll do it.

[Sam Morris]

Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 2:1.5.3-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Since upgrading to version 1.5, I can no longer use the arrow keys or
function keys. Pressing 'up' registers as the print screen button, 'left'
acts as AltGr, and so on. I also can't press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch back to
tty1.

Bug#491871: [965GM EXA] display corruption with xulrunner 1.9

[Sam Morris]

To be more precise, I need to use ExaNoComposite in order to make my
display usable at all; without it, I don't get any text or pixmaps
rendered at all (unless I use other options: AccelMethod XAA and
XAANoOffscreenPixmaps).

Bug#481345: xserver-xorg-video-intel: Xserver locks up when google earth is run

[Sam Morris]

This happened agian, with intel 2:2.3.2-2 and libgl1-mesa-dri 7.0.3-5,
however it wasn't as fatal this time.

I ran stellarium, and the xserver froze for a few seconds before dieing.
Then it died and was restarted, but instead of locking the system up,
the xserver just died and was restarted again, in an infinite loop.
Unfortunately this would have screwed up the logs again, but at least
the attached log was left in Xorg.0.log.old. It has some
interesting/scary stuff in it that I'd not seen before.

I don't think that the bug I had is
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15278>. My screen looks
totally different to the screenshots (either there, or on the bug that
it was marked a duplicate of), and I am not using isolinux's vesa menu,
but grub!

Bug#481345: xserver-xorg-video-intel: Xserver locks up when google earth is run

[Sam Morris]

I just ran into this again (but not with the updated intel driver and
mesa packages; I have now installed them and will see what changes).
Having rebooted, I examined the logs and tried to make it crash again,
but without success.

I now think that this is what is happening:

 1. the xserver dies
 2. gdm starts a new xserver. logs are rotated.
 3. the hardware was screwed in the crash, and the new xserver
causes the system to lock up.
 4. after rebooting, gdm starts the xserver and logs are rotated a
second time

So the log I originally posted is from the second xserver invocation
that causes the system to lock up, not from the first xserver that
originally screwed the hardware up.

This time I was unable to switch to tty1 to do anything. Hopefully next
time I'll have another system around to shell in and examine the
situation. I will also try to remember to boot up in single user mode to
try to recover the logs of the original xserver.

Bug#465220: xserver-xorg: External mouse button events are doubled up

Unfortunately I tossed my old laptop for a newer one. However I did work
out what the problem was. xorg.conf (as written during the initial
installaion) contained an entry for a Synaptics Touchpad device that
used /dev/psaux its device. This was fine in older versions of xorg,
however later I upgraded to a newer xserver that interpreted mouse
events from both the synaptics driver and the regular mouse driver
(presumably using /dev/input/mice) simultaneously.

The fix was to comment out the line 'Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"' from
the "Synaptics Touchpad" InputDevice in xorg.conf. So this bug can be
considered fixed if the xorg.conf that is generated by xserver-xorg no
longer contains that directive.

There isn't, so it look like it's not actaully crashing, just getting
stuck somewhere...

I'll try this next time I can reproduce the problem. Having failed every
single time I tried to run google earth so far, now I can't get it to
freeze at all! Computers, eh? :)

This is actually the log of the crashed X, as obtained by rebooting and
examining /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old.

Bug#481345: xserver-xorg-video-intel: Xserver locks up when google earth is run

[Sam Morris]

Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Version: 2:2.3.1-1
Severity: important

On an amd64 system, the server crashes when I run google earth.

The screen freezes, and then the screen goes black for a second. When it
comes back, some colours on the screen are different (like someone
picked a random colour in a painting program and then clicked on a few
random places using the Fill tool).

It is possible to switch to tty1 and hit ctrl+alt+del to reboot, or even
log in blind and run some programs, all while the screen remains frozen.

Fair enough. Be advised however that the reason I had /dev/psaux in
there is because the version of xserver-xorg in lenny puts it in
xorg.conf by default.

Bug#451791: [965G EXA] Fonts and many other items fail to render legibly

[Sam Morris]

Hi, I think I may have run into this bug. No anti-aliased text renders
on my display, but if I hit alt-f2 I can run xterm fine.

My video card:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 
Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:2a02] (rev 03)

Putting 'Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"' in xorg.conf fixes the problem.

Please let me know if I can help debug this!

I don't know quite how I discovered this, but if I comment out the line
that sets the Device option to /dev/psaux then this no longer happens.

Not quite, this happened one morning when I booted up my laptop. But I
have no idea why -- dpkg.log does not mention the upgrade of any
X-related packages n or around the date when it started. :(

That sounds like what is happening to me, but I don't know what I can do
about it without disabling the Synaptics Touchpad device.

After upgrading to xserver-xorg 7.3+6 and reconfiguring the package, I

Also the feel of the mouse acceleration has changed... it feels more

Bug#383465: Contains obfuscated source code, DFSG violation?

[Sam Morris]

I found some interesting links about this topic:

http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/vga256/drivers/nv/Attic/README.RIVATNT.diff?r1=1.1.2.2&r2=1.1.2.3&hideattic=0&only_with_tag=xf-3_3_3
and
http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/vga256/drivers/nv/Attic/nv3driver.c.diff?r1=1.1.2.5&r2=1.1.2.6&hideattic=0&only_with_tag=xf-3_3_3

If nvidia already 'forced' XFree86 to obfuscate their source code, it
doesn't seem unlikely that they require obfuscation of the source for
the 'nv' driver too.

Bug#375689: Instructions on how to reconfigure xserver-xorg are incorrect

[Sam Morris]

Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.22
Severity: important

The top of my xorg.conf file contains the following information:

# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following commands as root:
#
#   cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.custom
#   md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf >/var/lib/xfree86/xorg.conf.md5sum
#   dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

I have followed these steps, but running 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
has no effect on the xorg.conf file.

I installed xserver-xorg afresh and found that the following information
had replaced the above information:

# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Isn't this the message that one usually sees on Ubuntu systems? Regardless,
it is also incorrect.

Next I dug into the xserver-xorg.config script, and saw that it
appears to store its md5sums in /var/lib/x11. However, even through I
reset the contents of xorg.conf.md5sum in that directory, the script
still did not overwrite /etc/X11/xorg.conf with a new configuration
file.

So the issues here are:

 1. Users upgrading to X11R7 end up with incorrect and misleading information
in their xorg.conf files.
 
 2. Users installing X11R7 afresh end up with incorrect and misleading
instructions in their xorg.conf files and/or the xserver-xorg.config
script is broken.

Bug#366007: x11-common: /etc/X11/Xsession has disappeared

[Sam Morris]

Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.0.16
Severity: important

Since installing x11-common 1:7.0.16, /etc/X11/Xsession has been
deleted. This means that startx no longer works

According to dpkg --search, /etc/X11/Xsession is still owned by
x11-common, even though it no longer exists; there is also a new file,
/etc/X11/Xsession.xfree86, that is not owned by any package.

I can't seem to crash the server by issuing setxkbmap commands to enact
my Gnome keyboard configuration. I also can't crash a nested server by

GDM 2.14 keeps its defaults in /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf and only
user-specified overrides go into /etc/gdm/gdm.conf:

$ grep dpi /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf
command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -dpi 96 -audit 0

You can put your own 'command' setting in the [server-Standard] section
of /etc/gdm/gdm.conf, or use gdmsetup to make the change for you.

Could you try another terminal emulator? Xterm is setgid to the utmp
group:

-rwxr-sr-x 1 root utmp 288K 2006-03-17 01:19 /usr/bin/xterm

This causes glibc to purge 'harmful' environment variables from its
environment when it is run, including TMPDIR.

If you must use xterm you could use dpkg-statoverride to remove its
setgid permission; that way the utmp file won't be updated when xterm is
run (so xterms won't appear in the output of w(1)) but at least you
won't lose the TMPDIR environment variable.

Where is that code for setting MANPATH located, and how are you starting
the X server?

Bug#352127: xbase-clients: Unable to use startx/xinit with a terminal emulator as the client

[Sam Morris]

Package: xbase-clients
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4
Severity: important

I can unable to use startx or xinit to start an X session with a terminal
emulator as the client. The command I am using is 'startx xterm'.

With xterm, the window appears but a shell is never run. The mouse
cursor flickers when it hovers over the xterm window.

When I try rxvt, the entire window flickers constantly; when I try
gnome-terminal, the window appears and then disappears and the X session
ends.

Everything works if I use twm as the client.

by comments in xorg.xml.  If this cannot be fixed easily, please
let us know, we may remove these comments from xorg.xml, but
fixing libxklavier10 is a much better solution for the long term.


Many thanks for doing the hard work! I have altered libxklavier so that 
it doesn't bug out if there is a comment under any of the 
/xkbConfigRegistry/optionList/group elements of the XML file.


Comments anywhere else in the file may still cause similar failures, but 
I think that's a job for upstream.


If the attached patch is acceptable, you will probably have to NMU 
libxklavier; the last upload by the maintainer was in August 2004.

Bug#347803: Patches to document XF86MiscSetGrabKeysState

[Sam Morris]

These patches document XF86MiscSetGrabKeysState. I don't know if 
AllowClosedownGrabs and AllowDeactivateGrabs affects the other XGrab* 
functions; if so, then the text added to XGrabServer and XGrabKeyboard 
should be added to those man pages as well.

Bug#347803: xserver-xorg: Improved xorg.conf.5x man page mentions XF86MiscSetGrabKeysState(3x)

[Sam Morris]

Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Here is a patch to improve the xorg.conf.5x man page. The manual should
mention the API that display-locking programs should use to disable the
grab-killing keys, that are enabled with AllowDeactivateGrabs and
AllowClosedownGrabs.

Bug#345436: Can't switch virtual consoles with Ctrl+Alt+Function keys when XkbRules is set to 'base'

And when it is set to xorg, does everything work fine?

Denis


Yes, except for the XKEYBOARD related issues with #336791. For now, I am 
using 'xorg' since switching virtual consoles is more important to me 
than configuring the compose key. :)

Bug#345436: Can't switch virtual consoles with Ctrl+Alt+Function keys when XkbRules is set to 'base'

[Sam Morris]

While investigating #336791 [0] I found that if I have XkbRules set to 
'base', instead of the default 'xorg' [1], The Ctrl+Alt+Function key 
chord no longer switches between virtual consoles. Instead it is passed 
through to my X clients; for example, Ctrl+Alt+F1 makes xterm beep and 
print the 'P' character.


I am not experiencing the other symptoms mentioned by the reporter (? 
and / key, AltGr key not working).


[0] <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=336791>

[1] As recommended by "GNOME and XKB: looking at the issues" 
<http://gswitchit.sourceforge.net/gnome_xkb_tsh.pdf>; is using 'base' 
sound advice, or should libxklavier be fixed to work with the 'xorg' 
setting?

Okay.

Since I don't own this hardware, I am not a good person to integrate this
patch.

I'd be happy to work with someone who'd be willing to prepare a patch
applicable to Debian's XFree86 packages, or work on adding this patch via
the Debian X Strike Force Subversion repository for XFree86.

http://necrotic.deadbeast.net/xsf/XFree86/NEWS.xhtml



Brandon,

I also own a tablet that uses the aiptek driver, and would love to test 
this. However, the driver is present in XFree86 4.4 and Xorg, so there's 
not much point working on it unless the updated xserver-xfree86 would 
enter Sarge.


Christopher: I compiled aiptek_drv.o a while back. I never got the 
tablet to do anything other than make the cursor dart around in an 
irregular fashion, but if you want a go you can get it from 
<http://robots.org.uk/stuff/aiptek_drv.o>. It just needs to be dropped 
into "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input". If you do manage to make it work 
properly, please let me know how. :)


Regards,
