I experienced the same symptoms described by the original poster with
Ubuntu 8.10 on my HP 2133.  The problem was fixed by replacing xorg.conf
with the sample one provided at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HP2133 (section Video Driver
Fix).

this bug report and bug #274340 should be merged, as they describe the
same problem. is this an upstream bug or an ubuntu bug? i couldn't find
an active ticket on openchrome.org that reports this problem, yet i'm
not a technician to be absolutely sure on that.

2008-09-29 Thread Ben McCann

I can confirm Georg's note about 'Option NoAccel'. It prevents the freeze but 
its then so slow that you may as well use the VESA driver.

I originally noted in this bug that the cursor is off-center (down and
to the right) on my mini-note before it freezes. If I use NoAccel then X
comes up but the virtual desk top is TOO BIG. If I had to guess, its
something like 1440x900 or 1680x1050. So, there's also a problem
detecting the LCD screen resolution.

I added:

  SubSection Display
Virtual 1280 768
  EndSubSection

to the 'screen' section of the xorg.conf file. After rebooting, I had a
properly sized display. (FWIW, using 'Option ForcePanel' did not
detect the screen size correctly. I had to force the virtual desktop
size).


Ever the optimist, I then enabled acceleration (commented out the option 
noaccel) with the explicitly sized virtual desktop. But, after rebooting, the X 
server still hangs with the one difference being the mouse cursor is in the 
center of the screen. I guess that counts as progress ;-)

I think this is the same issue I have, with my ASUS Pundit P2-AE2 w/

I could fix it with Option NoAccel, but it's pretty slow now.

It really sucks cause hardy worked fine.

2008-09-26 Thread Georg Duffner
i'm having a similar problem on a k8m800 based laptop, even with the actual 
driver.
what i see:
- with default xorg.conf: busy cursor off-center, hanging after some seconds, 
laptop frozen
- with openchrome specified in xorg.conf: idem
- with vesa specified in xorg.conf: idem
- with openchrome and resolution 1024x768 specified: busy cursor centered 
freezing after some seconds, a light shade of the gdm-screen (i can discern the 
username entry field), i can hear the gdm drums sound; if i move the mouse 
(touchpad) it draws a new frozen busy cursor somewhere else on the screen, 
not deleting the first one; there is also response to setting caps-lock on the 
keyboard: the led will go on after more than a minute.
- with vesa and resolution specified: works smoothly.

i tried setting the following options one by one, which didn't solve the 
problem:
Option AccelMethod EXA
Option DRIfalse
Option EnableAGPDMA 0

i attach my xorg.conf, xorg.0.log and a file kern.log with the last
lines of kern.log

2008-09-25 Thread Ben McCann

The new openchrome xserver did not help. I updated and then ran several 
experiments, all with the same result:

1) 'Default xorg.conf with no driver selection,
2) xorg.conf with explicit 'driver openchrome' selection
3) xorg.conf with explicit:

driver openchrome
options EnableAGPDMA 0

   (I found a note someplace that this would help).

I verified the correct openchrome driver was installed using 'dpkg-query
-s xserver-xorg-video-openchrome'. It reports version
1:0.2.903-0ubuntu2.


I've been trolling through /var/log/kern.log and /var/log/messages and I 
noticed that the last message emitted by Linux before the crash is always:

  [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810

I looked around in LP for other DRM bugs but I don't see one that
matches this failure mode. (Doesn't mean its not there, its just not
obvious to me).

It's also possible this was the last successful operation and that its
unrelated. I tried 'modprobe drm' while on the console in recovery mode
(prior to starting X) and it loaded the drm kernel module w/o error. I
also ran 'modprobe via' to load the kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/via/via.ko
module and that also worked.

I'm out of ideas about where to look next...

No change with 'Option DRI false'. Still locks up with openchrome.

FWIW, the openchrome driver included in Hardy works OK with on the
Mininote.

Note, I normally don't use that and instead use the VIA proprietary
drivers. Unfortunately, those are locked to one kernel version so have
to 'hold' the kernel to prevent a kernel update from breaking the video
driver. I want to get away from that in Intrepid.

Last, I booted the Hardy kernel (2.6.24-16) but mounted the Intrepid '/'
file system. The 'vesa' driver works but the 'openchrome' driver still
fails.

I hope you don't have anything related to the via proprietary driver in
the intrepid partition, since it could break things.

A logfile with the current openchrome would be nice.

2008-09-25 Thread Ben McCann

Here's the Xorg.0.log from Hardy running the openchrome video driver...

I may have debris left from the VIA proprietary driver on my Intrepid
partition because I created it by copying a working Hardy install, with
the VIA driver, and then upgrading it to Intrepid.

However, I don't think that's adding to this problem because I first
encountered this problem trying to run the Intreprid Live CD. I did the
upgrade just to provide a workable debugging environment.

And, it really shouldnb't matter which drivers are on the disk if I
explicitly select one using the 'Driver' statement in the xorg.conf. (I
could believe that auto-config may get confused but an explicit driver
selection should take precedence).

[Bug 267115] Re: Intrepid Alpha 5, HP Mininote 2133, Live CD, X Server Hangs after Boot

2008-09-24 Thread Ben McCann

I repartitioned my HP 2133's disk when it first arrived to support two root 
file systems. I cloned my working Hardy root file system from one '/' to the 
other and then ran a dist-upgrade to convert that to Intrepid Alpha 6. This was 
successful so I can now run experiments on the X server.

The first boot into X resulted in a low-resolution, degraded, X
configuration. A dialog box (I don't recall the details) let me select
the 'default' X configuration. This bricked my X installation just like
described above. I tried 'repairing' it a couple times in recovery mode
to no avail.

I then found and copied /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe to
/etc/X11/xorg.conf. This works correctly, but slowly. I diff'ed the
original 'default' xorg.conf file and the failsafe file uses:

driver vesa

where the original default config file leaves this blank. (I'm guessing
X tries to auto-configure).

I guess this auto-configuration code is guessing the wrong type of video
chip set? This laptop uses a VIA Chrome9 chip that isn't exactly
mainstream.


I've taken this a long way towards resolution by providing a platform to repro 
this failure and actually get some results. If there's more I can do then 
please let me know. 

Meanwhile, I'm going to see if the OpenChrome server is available for
Intrepid.

The Hp-2133 needs the boot option 

  acpi_os=!Windows 2006

to run Hardy correctly. (I don't why but its documented in the Ubuntu
mininote forum at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=749693). I
manually added this to the boot command line prior to booting the 'test

This had NO effect. The X server still hung as described earlier.

  I tried booting with 'xforcevesa' with no success. I also hit 'esc' in
  Grub and then 'f4' to select the 'safe graphics mode' option and that
  also failed.
  
  I'd be happy to try any experiments that you recommend to trouble-shoot
  this. For example, are there other Linux boot options (such as 'video'
  or 'vga') that would dumb-down the live CD X installer enough to get a
  handle on what's going wrong?
