[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 407587] Re: [i865] karmic: 865g is pretty unstable
I'm unassigning myself from this bug; I've got the needed feedback for Maverick. I'll leave this bug open; there's still a reasonable chance we can get a proper fix, and apparently some i8xx documentation has just been released. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Assignee: Chris Halse Rogers (raof) = (unassigned) -- [i865] karmic: 865g is pretty unstable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/407587 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
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 407587] Re: [i865] karmic: 865g is pretty unstable
Ok! Ladies and Gentlemen! Chris Wilson of upstream fame has done some work to re-integrate a legacy driver for the Intel cards that have been hard done by in the GEM transition. The xserver-xorg-video-intel packages in https://edge.launchpad.net/~raof/+archive/aubergine have a GEM-less legacy driver re-integrated which is activated when KMS is disabled - which it is by default on your card for Lucid. It would be useful if you could remove any work-arounds you've used to get your system more stable and test the drivers from this PPA. They should hopefully end up slightly more stable than the drivers in Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty), which were the last set of drivers to not use the GEM memory manager, and so significantly more stable than the drivers in Ubuntu 9.10 and Ubuntu 10.04 (Karmic and Maverick). Could you please test the drivers from this PPA and report your experiences with them? ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Chris Halse Rogers (raof) -- [i865] karmic: 865g is pretty unstable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/407587 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

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 407587] Re: [i865] karmic: 865g is pretty unstable
I have exactly the same symptoms as in the comment #12, except that I cannot even shut down my computer by using the power key (except with a long press, which does a HW power off). I haven't yet tried the SysRq method - I'll try the next time the freezing occurs. I get the issue sometimes when booting up, and sometimes when the computer has been left idle for a while (I don't know if that is just a coincidence). During the boot-up, I sometimes do get a non-blinking text cursor _ in the top-left corner when the computer freezes. I'm having a bit different HW, though: i830M. It also has the flicker issue (though maybe not identical with this bug report), which I've filed in the bug #477264. Here are a couple of patches that might help in the issue, but unfortunately I haven't so far had the time to apply them and compile the kernel in order to test if they help: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2009-September/004122.html http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2009-September/004128.html -- [i865] karmic: 865g is pretty unstable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/407587 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

Well, I think we are not through with the problems with 865. More often than not when the box is booting, X won't start and I won't get access to the VTs when that happens. I can shut it down gracefully by pressing power button or by using alt-sysRq keys. From another box through SSH I get to see this on dmesg: [ 85.663792] [drm:i915_wait_request] *ERROR* something (likely vbetool) disabled interrupts, re-enabling [ 85.663820] render error detected, EIR: 0x0010 [ 85.663827] [drm:i915_handle_error] *ERROR* EIR stuck: 0x0010, masking [ 85.663838] render error detected, EIR: 0x0010 Just in case, here's the backtrace of X: $ sudo gdb proogram 2252 GNU gdb (GDB) 7.0-ubuntu Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

It doesn't happen all the time but it has already happened twice that when the box is booting I get to a black screen with nothing at all on it. No kdm, no mouse pointer, no keyboard input (not even the leds), no nothing. I'm able to shutdown gracefully if I press the power button or if I use the alt+sysrq keys. I checked the old xorg log (broken start) with the new one (working) I saw that the log got cut on the broken one here: (II) AIGLX: enabled GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer (II) AIGLX: enabled GLX_SGI_swap_control and GLX_MESA_swap_control (II) AIGLX: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap backed by buffer objects (II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/lib/dri/i915_dri.so (II) GLX: Initialized DRI2 GL provider for screen 0 (II) intel(0): Setting screen physical size to 270 x 200 On the normal one, it says the same plus: (II) config/hal: Adding input device AT Translated Set 2 keyboard (II) LoadModule: evdev (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//evdev_drv.so (II) Module evdev: vendor=X.Org Foundation compiled for 1.6.3, module version = 2.2.5 Module class: X.Org XInput Driver ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 4.0 Etc etc... is it something to place on this same bug or it should be placed on a new bug? -- [i865] karmic: 865g is pretty unstable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/407587 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

I'm not sure if it's the same bug but I've just installed today's (2009-10-05) Kubuntu Karmic cdimage on i865G hardware and since boot from LiveCD til now (installed and upgraded system on hard drive) I'm getting proper display on intel driver but Xorg eats ~100% CPU and even text typing in Konsole lags so much as it looks like working on SSH terminal on heavy loaded server/internet connection - letters are arriving few seconds after typing them. But when I switch to console (CTRL+ALT+F1 the Xorg doesn't eat even 1% CPU and system is very responsive and I've get ~99% CPU idle). After switching back to KDE4.3.1 in Xorg (ALT+F7) there's ~100% CPU eaten by Xorg etc. So I've installed Kubuntu by most of the time switching to console to idle the CPU. Is there any workaround for this - other than switching to Vesa driver? -- [i865] karmic: 865g is pretty unstable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/407587 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
