[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 476817] Re: [i855] [i855] [karmic] X freezes with intel 855GM videocard
I can also confirm that the ppa kernel works for me in Lucid, while without it I can't boot my old laptop. My card is: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device [8086:3582] (rev 02) 2.6.32-20.30 = Last one that boots, crashes with Xv 2.6.32-21.32 = It hangs when X starts 2.6.32-22.33 = It hangs when X starts 2.6.34rc3-51.2 = Works fine with KMS and Xv and everything. One minor glitch, I'm sometimes seeing a black square over the Xv video (e.g. on totem but not on vlc), covering all of the video. In totem, when I open a menu and close it, that black square goes where the menu was. And when I switch to fullscreen it goes away so I can see the video normally. (for more details see my posts in bug #511001) Please backport that newest patch for Lucid. :) -- [i855] [i855] [karmic] X freezes with intel 855GM videocard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/476817 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

With 2.6.34rc3-51 my system no longer deadlocks when playing video (855GM, forced KMS makes the system boot with standard Lucid kernel, as described in bug #511001). I'll leave the computer on for a few days to see if the hangs I describe in bug #511001 are also gone. -- [i855] [i855] [karmic] X freezes with intel 855GM videocard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/476817 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

Have any of you who have been trying 2.6.34rc3-51 experienced Xorg using abnormally much CPU time? With an idle (KDE) desktop, it seems to be consuming 10-30 times more CPU than with 2.6.32-22. It's hard to get an accurate measurement, but it's certainly qualitatively enough for my laptop's CPU fan to spin up periodically when the computer is just sitting there unused. This did not happen with 2.6.32-22 and earlier. -- [i855] [i855] [karmic] X freezes with intel 855GM videocard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/476817 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 Brian, Thanks, your kernel version 2.6.34rc3-51-generic (51.2) works on my notebook with an 855gm and a Celeron CPU (it's an old notebook :^) It complains at boot time of corrupted low memory, but the graphics are back to what I had in Karmic, 1280x768. I hope there's some way to get this into the Lucid release, or 10.04.1. Nice work, thanks again. -- [i855] [i855] [karmic] X freezes with intel 855GM videocard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/476817 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 Brian, Well at 16-04-2010 the standard Lucid still crashed. Well it reverted to low graphics mode. Using your ppa, with the new kernel makes it work fine, I don't know if that can be of any help for the Lucid release...

Hi Brian, Just now moved to lucid. And I can confirm that this fix works. With normal lucid, I was thrown to low graphics mode each time.

FYI, the fix I was referring to in the earlier comment has since been included in Lucid and therefore I removed the package from my PPA. The kernel in there is a new, different fix from an upstream bug report: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27187 Glad to hear it helps. Anyway, a newer version of the kernel patch has just been posted, so I'm sending an updated build to my PPA. ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #27187 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27187 -- [i855] [i855] [karmic] X freezes with intel 855GM videocard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/476817 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 476817] Re: [i855] [i855] [karmic] X freezes with intel 855GM videocard
There are potential fixes for this in the upstream development version. I uploaded it for Lucid to the following PPA: https://launchpad.net/~brian-rogers/+archive/experimental I can't simply upload this version for Karmic because it requires new versions of support libraries, but I can backport the important fixes. If someone can verify this version fixes the bug in Lucid, I'll backport the changes and we can get them in Karmic. Also, right now this PPA contains a Karmic package that bypasses a graphical operation that was crashing i845 chips. The side effect is extremely glitchy graphics, though. It would be useful to know if the i855 problem is caused by the same operation. So testing on Karmic is also useful. If the Karmic package prevents the problem, then the problem is with i830_uxa_solid. -- [i855] [i855] [karmic] X freezes with intel 855GM videocard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/476817 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

@geomar: The freezes mentioned here are related to the Intel video driver in combination with the X version. If you experience other freezes please open a separate bug report. The fixes you mention in #31 do not help with the freeze reported in this bug report. -- [i855] [i855] [karmic] X freezes with intel 855GM videocard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/476817 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

It seems that at least also the applications conky and root-tail made my X freeze. I used them and my X froze again, although I had splash and quiet turned off. Now I don´t use conky and root-tail any more and everything is fine again. greetings -- [i855] [i855] [karmic] X freezes with intel 855GM videocard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/476817 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
