[Bug 563277] Re: Please blacklist older 8xx cards from using KMS
I have to support Bryce Harrington in comment #7, running kernel 2.6.31-21.32 with KMS black listed on a couple of different i855 based ThinkPads crashes X right away on X-startup and locks the box completely. Downgrading to kernel 2.6.31-21.31or using i915.modeset=1 in GRUB and the box runs fine for hours, even with the compiz enabled by the latest xserver-xorg-video-intel package. This means that users are unable to boot LiveCD at all without knowing that you need to set the i915.modeset=1 as a kernel parameter. So may I suggest, that if this isn't changed, as a absolute minimum this is noted in the final Release notes ?. -- Please blacklist older 8xx cards from using KMS https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563277 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This seems quite perplexing to me. AFAIK with UMS turned on, things should work as they did in... Jaunty? Whenever we last had UMS on by default. I think we should doublecheck that this blacklist did in fact fix reported issues for people as intended. -- Please blacklist older 8xx cards from using KMS https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563277 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 563277] Re: Please blacklist older 8xx cards from using KMS
If stability is an issue, I'm not sure if the latest approach taken in kernel 2.6.31-21.32 is right - at least for an ThinkPad Intel i855 GPU like this: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device [8086:3582] (rev 02) Subsystem: IBM Device [1014:0557] Latest update to kernel 2.6.31-21.32 makes_X_completely_lock_up_the_box on bootup, while booting into an older kernel like 2.6.31-18.xx still works fine. All updates as of 2010.04.17 applied, and using X-server module from xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.9.1-3ubuntu4_i386. Booting -21.32 in rescue mode and manually starting X also locks up the box completely right away. Downgrading to previus kernel -21.31 without the changes from comment #2, X startup works fine and stability is just perfect on the box too. Even running when compiz with a downgraded Intel X-server module from previous xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.9.1-3ubuntu2_i386 works completely stable. -- Please blacklist older 8xx cards from using KMS https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563277 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 563277] Re: Please blacklist older 8xx cards from using KMS
This is an unfortunate situation. There is a non-trivial number of users with 845 and 855 chips who are impacted by a regressions in stability in the current x stack when running 3d and KMS. We have opted for a stability first approach for these users. We will disable 3D and KMS for these chips in Lucid final release. This will have the unfortunate effect of disabling compiz. This will introduce a functional regression. So we will be sacrificing functionality for these users in favor of stability. This is a painful choice to make, but we feel that stability must trump functionality when we are forced to make such choices. We will be pursuing functional fixes. However, we will do this outside the main release, for example in a PPA. If we are able to provide a fix that delivers stability and functionality, we will consider this a potential SRU in 10.04.1. -- Please blacklist older 8xx cards from using KMS https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563277 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
