[XFree86] i810 crashes
Hi! Well, there's Markus Willems reporting: Whens switching to Command-line mode on e.g. TTY1, the server collapses completely. myself writing: Something else I noticed is that the crashes seem to occur (more often) if whatever is displayed under X is to be changed right at the time I change to a text console. and bug report #103: ... It works very well except if I go to console mode cntrl-alt-F1 and a transient window arrives on the Xserver, the Xserver wiil crash and then successfully return to login (Kdm in this case). which all seem to point out the same problem. What can we/I do to get this fixed (assuming I don't have a clue about X server programming)? Cheers, Marcus -- http://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/0,1518,243562,00.html Marcus C.

This problem has been known for several weeks but no solutions have been published so far. Your server's logfile (usually /var/log/XFree86.0.log or similar) should contain an error message similar to this one: Error in I830WaitLpRing(), now is 484199, start is 482198 pgetbl_ctl: 0x1ffe0001 pgetbl_err: 0x0 ipeir: 0 iphdr: 0 LP ring tail: 7150 head: 0 len: 0 start 0 eir: 0 esr: 0 emr: instdone: ffc0 instpm: 0 memmode: 108 instps: 0 hwstam: ier: 0 imr: iir: 0 space: 102056 wanted 131064 Fatal server error: lockup Can you check that? For me, disabling framebuffer usage helped to reduce the frequency of crashes, i.e. make sure there is NO such entry: Option UseFBDev true in your XF86Config. Cheers, Marcus -- Marcus C.

The i810/830 driver doesn't support that option... Hm, all right... :-) ... Did you switch from framebuffer device to VGA console instead? No, that was the only (deliberate) change I made which seemed to improve the behaviour. Might only be an impression though. Something else I noticed is that the crashes seem to occur (more often) if whatever is displayed under X is to be changed right at the time I change to a text console. This part of the error message: space: 102056 wanted 131064 Fatal server error: lockup makes me feel like the X display would like some more memory at that point but doesn't get it. But I don't really know anything about this... Cheers, Marcus -- Marcus C.

[XFree86] Re: i830M lockup error - APM/event loop-related? (was: Re: XFree 4.3.0-0ds2 20030304042836 crash related to i830M)
Hi! Daniel Stone wrote, quoting me (Sun 2003-Mar-09 09:58:41 +1100): like this is an upstream problem. I'm forwarding this to [EMAIL PROTECTED], the main XFree86 project mailing list, to see if I can get a reply there. To me, the problem looks not that much APM related anymore, but I'm not sure. The crashes seldomly happen while I'm actually using X but frequently occur when I'm changing from X to a normal console. Anything I can do to help figure this out? I'm currently using this version: Debian 4.3.0-0ds3v1 20030310070804 I830PMEvent: received APM event 9 I830PMEvent: received APM event 9 I830PMEvent: received APM event 9 Error in I830WaitLpRing(), now is 4322079, start is 4320078 pgetbl_ctl: 0x1ffe0001 pgetbl_err: 0x0 ipeir: 0 iphdr: 0 LP ring tail: 7c58 head: 0 len: 0 start 0 eir: 0 esr: 0 emr: instdone: ffc0 instpm: 0 memmode: 108 instps: 0 hwstam: ier: 0 imr: iir: 0 space: 99232 wanted 131064 Fatal server error: lockup ..
