re: Xorg hang on recent 6.1 build

2006-05-15 Thread yattaran

 I cvsuped RELENG_6 and went through the usual motions to make the world,
 kernel and install them. Everything was ok until I rebooted and started
 KDE and the x-session stopped. I could login for other computers and
 xorg was using 97% of the cpu.

 After rebooting it 2x and using root the 2nd time and still have it
 hang. I did a diff of GENRIC and RUBY. GENERIC had the new kbdmux
 parameter. After I rebuilt the kernel and booted to it, I haven't had
 any problems using the machine.

 If not adding kbdmux to the kernel config file can hang the user's
 x-session, I think some sort of warning should be added to UPDATING.

I've had a similar problem on a machine since upgrading to RELENG_6 (now on
6.1-PRERELEASE #3). After logging in from another machine and killing the
Xorg process the xserver restarts but I am then unable to switch to a text
virtual console; monitor reports signal out of range.

I was using the nvidia driver (nvidia-driver-1.0.8178_1). When I disabled that
the problem appears to be less frequent but still occurs.

On a second machine on which I did a fresh install of 6 (now on 6.1-PRERELEASE
#1) I've had no problems but haven't tried the nvidia driver yet.

Could it be the video hardware?

I wasn't aware of kbdmux. I will see if that makes a difference.

I also a similar problem. After upgrading from 6.0-stable to
6.1-stable I keep getting Out of range when gdm/xorg starts. The
monitor then switches itself off after displaying the message for
20-30 seconds.

I've figured changing gdm_enable=YES to NO in /etc/rc.conf and
starting XFCE manually by running /usr/X11R6/bin/startxfce4 does the
trick, but then I get no gdm.

I did remove a lot of SCSI and RAID stuff from the kernel config file
and adding the following before compiling it:

device  atapicam
options PERFMON
options VESA
options SC_PIXEL_MODE
options ALTQ
options ALTQ_CBQ
options ALTQ_RED
options ALTQ_RIO
options ALTQ_HFSC
options ALTQ_PRIQ

# uname -a
FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE #1: Thu May 11 00:55:32 CEST 2006

I'm a bit unsure what to do now. I don't mind starting xfce4 manually,
but something's not right here.
