xresprobe + Xorg configuration Problems
Hello, 1.) On multihead graphics X -configure does not detect the available 2 Screens. Does anyone know why? 2.) Why is ddcprobe (of xresprobe 0.4.24ubuntu8) not capable of reading the DDC on a DVI connected screen? On OpenSuSEs hwinfo (very slow) there is an output with the correct data. As attachment 3 outputs of ddcprobe (Intel DVI, Intel analog, Nvidia DVI) on a intel865 chipset and on a nvidia chipset (VendorID: 10de PCIID: 0240). 3.) Why is there a resolution like 1440x1440 in the output? I can not think of a screen that supports this. Thanks, Bastian. vbe: VESA 3.0 detected. oem: Brookdale-G Graphics Chip Accelerated VGA BIOS vendor: Intel Corporation product: Brookdale-G Graphics Controller Hardware Version 0.0 memory: 8000kb mode: 1280x1024x256 mode: 640x480x16m mode: 800x600x64k mode: 800x600x16m mode: 1024x768x32k mode: 1024x768x64k mode: 1024x768x16m mode: 1280x1024x64k mode: 1280x1024x16m mode: 132x25 (text) mode: 132x43 (text) mode: 132x50 (text) mode: 132x60 (text) mode: 640x480x256 mode: 800x600x256 mode: 1024x768x256 mode: 640x480x64k edid: edidfail vbe: VESA 3.0 detected. oem: Brookdale-G Graphics Chip Accelerated VGA BIOS vendor: Intel Corporation product: Brookdale-G Graphics Controller Hardware Version 0.0 memory: 8000kb mode: 1280x1024x256 mode: 640x480x16m mode: 800x600x64k mode: 800x600x16m mode: 1024x768x32k mode: 1024x768x64k mode: 1024x768x16m mode: 1280x1024x64k mode: 1280x1024x16m mode: 132x25 (text) mode: 132x43 (text) mode: 132x50 (text) mode: 132x60 (text) mode: 640x480x256 mode: 800x600x256 mode: 1024x768x256 mode: 640x480x64k edid: edid: 1 3 id: 7772 eisa: ABO7772 serial: 03d4 manufacture: 21 2003 input: composite sync, sync on green, digital signal. screensize: 34 27 gamma: 2.20 dpms: RGB, active off, suspend, standby timing: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hz (VGA 640x400, IBM) timing: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hz (XGA2) timing: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hz (VGA) timing: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hz (Mac II, Apple) timing: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hz (VESA) timing: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hz (VESA) timing: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hz (VESA) timing: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hz (VESA) timing: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hz (VESA) timing: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hz (Mac II) timing: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hz Interlaced (8514A) timing: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hz (VESA) timing: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hz (VESA) timing: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (VESA) ctiming: [EMAIL PROTECTED] dtiming: [EMAIL PROTECTED] monitorrange: 24-80, 56-75 monitorname: Acer AL712 monitorserial: ET701321003D 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE/PE DRAM Controller/Host-Hub Interface (rev 01) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 01) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 01) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 01) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-M) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 01) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev 81) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL (ICH4/ICH4-L) LPC Interface Bridge (rev 01) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801DB (ICH4) IDE Controller (rev 01) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) SMBus Controller (rev 01) 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01) 01:07.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): NEC Corporation uPD72874 IEEE1394 OHCI 1.1 3-port PHY-Link Ctrlr (rev 01) 01:08.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB PRO/100 VE (CNR) Ethernet Controller (rev 81) 01:09.0 CardBus bridge: O2 Micro, Inc.

Re: Please keep the old IDE chipset drivers so that external CD writers can work
No, something else is going on here. usb-storage is entirely unrelated to the IDE subsystem, so doesn't care whether you're using libata or not.

I can still boot into my Feisty kernel. If your chipset is not supported by libata, and you want rebuild the kernel to add the old drivers back, following the instructions on this web page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile Wenzhuo After doing a lot of comparing between my desktop at work, my notebook and my desktop at home, I'm beginning to think that the problem is the chipset in my desktop at home is not supported by libata. The motherboard in the PC is about 4 years old and has a Via VT82C568A/B, VT82C686A/B, VT823x/A/C chipset. When I boot the Feisty kernel, libata and ata_generic are being loaded but are not being used... $ lsmod | grep ata ata_generic9902 0 libata 125720 ata_generic scsi_mod142348 libata,sg,st,aic7xxx,scsi_transport_spi This tells me that libata is being using by ata_generic, but ata_generic isn't being used. Also, lsmod shows that ide_disk is being used... $ lsmod | grep ide ide_cd 32672 0 cdrom 37664 1 ide_cd ide_disk17024 5 I think this tells me that this kernel is using IDE_DISK and not ATA_GENERIC. Neither my desktop PC at work nor my notebook PC load the IDE_DISK. They both use ATA_PIIX. I've looked for a Via ATA module in the kernel source, but all I can find is SATA_VIA and this module is installed but doesn't seem to work (I don't have serial ata drives). Am I correct in this? If I am correct, how can I fix this problem? Is there a Via ata driver I'm not seeing?

Something else is triggering this bug. usb-storage is indeed unrelated to the IDE subsystem. However, both libata and usb-storage are implemented on top of the SCSI layer. You cannot reach the conclusion that this bug is completely unrelated to libata. On the contrary, I have a proof that it's related to libata to some degree: the workaround to this problem is to load IDE drivers instead of libata drivers. See bug #109211 for details. Probably libata steps on the foot of usb-storage. My point is that the kernel team should look into this issue, because external CD/DVD writers are common hardware gadgets. If the bug cannot be resolved in time, just keep the old IDE drivers and let libata drivers take precedence. The problem Rick Knight's having with his motherboard is another reason to keep the old IDE drivers.

But until I hear a respones to the bug report, is there anyway to force the newer kernel to setup drives by path with hdxn instead of sdxn? Also, if I do rebuild the kernel, which module(s) do I need to activate? It seems to me that VIA82Cxxx chipset support is included in the Gutsy kernel image. BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX is enabled as a module in /boot/config-2.6.22-14-generic. Try adding the following lines to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules: via82cxxx ide-disk ide-cd ide-generic and then type: $ sudo update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.22-14-generic After that, reboot into the Gutsy kernel. If you can now successfully boot the Gutsy kernel, libata is to blame. ;) Wenzhuo -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

Would anything else be effected by taking out libata? /etc/initramfs-tools/modules should be empty by default. libata drivers are loaded by the scripts in the initramfs image of Gutsy. By adding IDE drivers to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, IDE drivers get loaded first. Therefore you should remove anything related to libata in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules. If it fixes your problem, join my petition to keep the old IDE chipset drivers. :) I suggest you try the Hardy beta desktop CD to find out if the problem is still there. http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/hardy/beta Wenzhuo -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
