 pcidump -xx output for both cases. normally the more interesting result
 anyway.
 
 oh, and the data you're passing on not to be MIME attached, the list
 strips those.

Ok, here we are:

Thanks for helping!

 Can you send us the pcidump -v output for both cases?

 Also what kind of interface is truecrypt using? Is it switching to

 way?

Yes, but unfortunately there is no difference between the 2 pcidump files,
both files are identical :-/

1) http://www.wiroth.net/error/x11/W500.pcidump.not.working
2) http://www.wiroth.net/error/x11/W500.pcidump.working


The truecrypt bootloader is loaded before any OS is loaded. To me, it looks
like a standard text console (but I must admit I'm not (very) technical).
http://www.wiroth.net/error/x11/1_truecrypt_bootloader.jpg

1) The working case:
I enter a Passphrase to access the windows xp bootloader, from here, I
choose to boot Openbsd, see here:
http://www.wiroth.net/error/x11/2_a_xp_bootloader_working.jpg
When I follow this boot procedures, I can start X11.

2) The failing case:
If I choose to bypass Passphrase authentication in Truecrypt by pressing ESC,
the OpenBSD boot prompt appears immediately and OpenBSD starts to boot
normally, see here:
http://www.wiroth.net/error/x11/2_b_bypass_xp_bootloader_and_load_openbsd.jpg
But now, it is not possible to start x11, I get the error message seen
previously in this message. The weird thing is that pcidump -v does not show
any difference 

If you need any additional information I let me know!

Kind regards,
Didier

x11 problems with lenovo w500

2009-03-09 Thread Didier Wiroth
Hello,

I have a strange problem which I never had in the past when using a lenovo
laptop with a somewhat identical configuration.

I'm using CURRENT with a lenovo w500 (model 4063-34G). This model has one of
these switchable dual graphics.
(ATI Mobility Radeon FireGL V5700 + Intel's integrated GMA 4500MHD)
http://www5.pc.ibm.com/de/products.nsf/$wwwPartNumLookup/_NRC34GE?OpenDocume
nt
http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/246624/lenovo-thinkpad-w500.html

(X11 identifies the ati card as a ati mobility radeon HD 3650)
http://www.wiroth.net/dmesg.ati
http://www.wiroth.net/Xorg.0.log.ati

For now, I'm using the intel adapter, as the ati adapter is very, very slow
when watching a movie.
I'm using the following display bios settings:
a) Default Primary Video Device: Internal
b) Boot Display Device: ThinkPad LCD
c) Graphics Device: Integrated Graphics
d) OS Detection for Switchable Graphics: Disabled

Now, let me explain the problem in my simple words.

I'm dualbooting between windows xp and openbsd:
partition 1 - openbsd current
partition 2 - windows xp

Partition 2 is fully encrypted with truecrypt (http://www.truecrypt.org).

In a non technical terminology when I boot, the following happens:
the Truecrypt prompt/boot loader appears, I have two choices:

a) Enter a passphrase to access the windows bootloader
If I choose this option and enter a passphrase the windows xp bootloader
appears and I can still choose to boot into windows xp or openbsd (I have
followed the guidelines at http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html#Multibooting
to add the openbsd partition boot record to the boot.ini of windows xp).
Here is the Xorg.0.log:
http://www.wiroth.net/Xorg.0.log
Here is the dmesg:
http://www.wiroth.net/dmesg.working

If I boot via a) into Openbsd, X11 _IS_ working, no problem here!

b) Now, if I bypass the authentication and boot directly into openbsd.
The openbsd kernel is loaded, but now I'm _NOT_ able to start X11.
Here is the NON-working Xorg.0.log:
http://www.wiroth.net/Xorg.0.log.not.working
Here is the dmesg.boot:
http://www.wiroth.net/dmesg.not.working
(I don't think there is a difference between the two DMESG, but I included
them in case someone would like to have a look into it)

Here is a snip of the error message:
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules//libvgahw.so

Thanks a lot for your help!

Can you send us the pcidump -v output for both cases?

Also what kind of interface is truecrypt using? Is it switching to
some graphics mode that would change the state of the card in some
way?
