[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 419328] Re: [i945gme] attaching external monitor: laptop display is black, external monitor too, with frozen mouse coursor
So, what's the current status of this bug? It is marked as a 'fix released' - does that mean it is coming to the karmic repositories any time soon? -- [i945gme] attaching external monitor: laptop display is black, external monitor too, with frozen mouse coursor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/419328 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 441873] Re: [i915gm] [Karmic] X freezes when using compiz on external monitor
same thing happens here, on a dell vostro a90 (which is a rebranded mini9, essentially). running stock ubuntu 9.10, intel gma950 video card. when connecting a vga external monitor and opening the display applet (enable the monitor), total system freeze. if before enabling the monitor, i run metacity --replace, then everything works just fine. so it's definitely compiz-only problem. if you need any more info, config files, lspci output, etc, i'd be willing to post whatever is required, just let me know what. would be nice to get this fixed! :) -- [i915gm] [Karmic] X freezes when using compiz on external monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441873 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Hi Tormod Thanks for your quick response Attaching my Xorg.0.log for your review. as far trying things - so i should try taking out everything but the XAA? ** Attachment added: Xorg.0.log http://launchpadlibrarian.net/30572138/Xorg.0.log -- [Needs AGPMode quirk] Freeze with ati driver during boot on 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296617 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Oh and by the way, any comments on sections DRI and Extensions? I added those first, separately, before I got around to trying the stuff in the Device section, and those two showed a marked improvement in responsiveness all by themselves... -- [Needs AGPMode quirk] Freeze with ati driver during boot on 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296617 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 296617] Re: [Needs AGPMode quirk] Freeze with ati driver during boot on 8.10
Yes, please try with only XAA. ok, will do, and post here if it still works with agpmode4 The DRI and Extensions sections should not be necessary. Are you not getting DRI and Composite without them? what exactly do i look for in xorg log or elsewhere, to know whether they are enabled without these settings? If you have the possibility to try Karmic it would be great, because we would like to make sure it works optimally, and many things have changed since Intrepid. I can try it with the latest alpha livecd, i suppose, and see how things look, and whether apgmode4 works by default, or needs other settings. and whether dri and composite do as well. -- [Needs AGPMode quirk] Freeze with ati driver during boot on 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296617 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 296617] Re: [Needs AGPMode quirk] Freeze with ati driver during boot on 8.10
yea, i'm running plain metacity, no compiz... well, i'll try with just the XAA, under intrepid, and let you know if i can use agpmode4, and will also play with karmic and see what happens there. will let you know any results. :) -- [Needs AGPMode quirk] Freeze with ati driver during boot on 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296617 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 296617] Re: [Needs AGPMode quirk] Freeze with ati driver during boot on 8.10
Hi indeed, I have two screens on this comp, the built-in lcd at 1600x1200, and an external monitor at 1920x1200, sitting side by side, for a total desktop size of 3520x1200. I have virtual set to 3520 1600. But, i notice in those lines you pasted out of my xorg, it appears to reserve a much larger screen space? 3520x4766, and 3520x3164... is that normal? hrm, well, i guess your explanation about DRI and XAA/EXA explains a lot. :) -- [Needs AGPMode quirk] Freeze with ati driver during boot on 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296617 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 296617] Re: [Needs AGPMode quirk] Freeze with ati driver during boot on 8.10
Update: I was able to get things to work with agp at 4x, with the following config: ### Section Device Identifier Configured Video Device Driver ati Option AccelMethod XAA Option AGPMode 4 Option AGPFastWrite yes Option EnablePageFlip on Option RenderAccel on Option DynamicClocks on Option BIOSHotkeys on EndSection Section DRI Mode 0666 EndSection Section Extensions Option Composite Enable EndSection ### Which, by the way, produces a much snappier experience than the default setup which only works with agp1x. Not sure which of those are the key settings that enable things to work with agp 4x, i don't really have the time to play around and try taking them out one at a time... note also that i'm running on plain metacity, rather than compiz... but should work just as well... Hope this info comes handy. -- [Needs AGPMode quirk] Freeze with ati driver during boot on 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296617 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
