Re: netbsd 9 upgrade experience
Hi Hauke, I bumped into an email in one of the netbsd lists of which I concluded that generating an xorg.conf and adding the option AccelMethod in the device section like this, solves the i915 drmkms issue: Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" So I gave it a try and it seems to be true :) That option is also mentioned in "man intel" but if I understand it correctly it is somewhat slower than the default "sna". But considering that this box is a bit more than ten years old with an integrated i915 (i950gma), 3gb ram and a pentium cpu, I don't care if it does not crash. Thanks for your help though! :) Best regards, r0ller Eredeti levél Feladó: Hauke Fath < hauke.f...@gmail.com (Link -> mailto:hauke.f...@gmail.com) > Dátum: 2020 június 23 15:10:11 Tárgy: Re: netbsd 9 upgrade experience Címzett: r0ller < r0l...@freemail.hu (Link -> mailto:r0l...@freemail.hu) > On Sat, 20 Jun 2020 20:19:08 + (GMT), r0ller wrote: > 3) xorg still crashes when it gets a little stress as it did in 8.1 > with i915drmkms enabled tough I hoped that upgrading to 9 will solve > it. See xdm.log and Xorg.0.log attached. You might be better off with wip/xf86-video-intel-git - it fixed similar problems for me on a HP EliteBook. But I don't know if you can run a pkgsrc X server alongside base X11, or if you need to build all things X from pkgsrc.

Just installing it as a package won't work out. But base Xorg isn't using a release of xf86-video-intel either, and is using some git snapshot. We can update it if it helps.

Re: netbsd 9 upgrade experience
Hi All, Thanks Greg and Martin for the hints! I had to fix them manually but managed to get it done so postinstall does not complain when I let them checked. Today when I started up the system I got in dmesg this stuff but I haven't seen that after reboot: [ 1686,631400] kern error: [drm:(/usr/src/sys/external/bsd/drm2/dist/drm/i915/intel_sprite.c:132)intel_pipe_update_start] *ERROR* Potential atomic update failure on pipe A: -35 I don't know if it helps (if anyone has time for it at all) besides the xdm.log and Xorg.0.log sent yesterday.

Back in the days when sysinst started running postinstall after updates there were no cases when postinstall needed manual intervention. We need to deal with this in sysinst somehow(tm). The black xdm fields will go away once postinstall fixed "x11" properly (it is caused by missing resource entries in the xdm config files). Martin
