[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 615549] Re: [Maverick] Dell Studio XPS 13 no video
Hm. That suggests to me that the main problem here might be the race in X start up. Could you please try running echo FRAMEBUFFER=y | sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash sudo update-initramfs -u to get initramfs-tools to add the drm modules to your initramfs? This should ensure that they're loaded earlier and certainly before X. If that fixes the problem I'll need to work out how to get libdrm to block appropriately while the kernel modules are being initialised. -- [Maverick] Dell Studio XPS 13 no video https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/615549 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 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 615549] Re: [Maverick] Dell Studio XPS 13 no video
VGA switcheroo, race conditions, vesafb, oh my! You say “I lose the video when Nouveau is loaded”, but nouveau isn't loaded until 20 seconds into your boot and doesn't start modesetting until 22 seconds. Did you mean “I lose the video right after GRUB starts loading the kernel”? If so, we have the first bug: vesafb being confused in some way by your multiple graphics cards. In chronological order, then, we encounter the second bug: X starts at approximately +20seconds, and is probing DRM at 20.625. However, the nouveau kernel driver is busy trying to get the video bios at this point, and hasn't finished initialising. Nouveau finishes bringing up your 9200M GS (which looks like it should be driving the VGA output at this point) at +22 seconds, and then brings up the 9400M G at +25 seconds. By this time, the nouveau X driver has given up looking for DRM, the VESA X driver has loaded and started merrily stomping on card state of the 9400M, which would be my guess as to why the nouveau kernel module bails soon after with a bunch of [ 25.465878] [drm] nouveau :03:00.0: PFIFO_INTR 0x0010 - Ch 1 errors. I'd guess that this race condition is why it is reported by some that restarting gdm fixes things - by that point the nouveau kernel module will actually have initialised and be ready for the nouveau X driver. -- [Maverick] Dell Studio XPS 13 no video https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/615549 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 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 615549] Re: [Maverick] Dell Studio XPS 13 no video
I lose the video when Nouveau is loaded (screen flickers, then nothing, no
purple splash screen)
I see BIOS and GRUB just fine

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 615549] Re: [Maverick] Dell Studio XPS 13 no video
Unfortunately, the attached logs are from a boot with the nomodeset parameter set, which means that the nouveau drivers aren't actually in use. When you say “no video”, at what point do you lose video - Do you see the bios startup screen? Do you see the grub screen (if it is displaying for you)? Do you see a modeswitch flicker after grub? Do you see the Ubuntu purple splash screen? Can you describe what happens during boot? Could you please run “apport-collect 615549” during a boot *without* nomodeset parameter and with “drm.debug=0x04” set? If the video goes blank when starting X you should be able to boot into recovery mode and run this command. If you get no video at all, you should be able to run this command after ssh-ing in from a second machine. If you can't ssh in or don't have a second computer available, as a last resort you should be able to boot without nomodeset, wait for the boot to finish, restart, and then collect & attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old and /var/log/kern.log. -- [Maverick] Dell Studio XPS 13 no video https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/615549 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 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
