Fwd: X.org PCI changes breaks support for Silicon Motion SM720 Lynx3DM card?
Hello. I have a Silicon Motion SM720 Lynx3DM card which X in Ubuntu 8.10 (and Fedora 9) will not start on. The log seems fine but ends with: AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0 The issue it experience seems to have been introduced by changes to X to use libpciaccess. Using GDB, and modified source littered with print statements, I see that it is failing like so: Xorg's dix/main.c's main() calls AddScreen(), which calls (*pfnInit)(...) pfnInit points to Silicon Motion's smi_driver.c's SMI_ScreenInit. SMI_ScreenInit calls SMI_MapMem(). SMI_MapMem calls libpciaccess's common_interface.c's pci_device_map_range(). It finds that the range that wants mapping is already mapped, and everything falls apart. The only other time pci_device_map_range() is called (and indeed for the same region) is earlier when dix.main.c's main() calls InitOutput(), InitOutput() called xf86Screen[0]-PreInit(...). PreInit pointed to Silicon Motion's smi_driver.c's SMI_PreInit() and SMI_PreInit calls SMI_MapMem (which maps the same region as later via pci_device_map_range()). So, I'm going to try and find out what the correct behaviour should be to fix it, but any hints would be gratefully appreciated. I've filed bug #18816 (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18816) with regard to this.

The other one was the internal fonts stuff with the X server, which caused me to lose my Emacs international fonts. I don't think it's fair to complain that xorg folks finally started de-emphasizing (not even disabling) the core fonts system more than half a decade after fontconfig was announced and clearly positioned as the target font system (IIRC even SUN was told in no incertain terms it could forget its own next-gen font system because everyone that mattered had adopted fontconfig). If someone complained today foo was only possible in a 2.6 (not 2.4) kernel would you heed it? fontconfig is at least as old as Linux 2.6.0. If you want to complain at someone, complain at software providers which have waited till software started to break user-side to consider the fontconfig transition.

Go for it! The problem is more general: there are desktop services which don't have good policy clients beside the ones tied to major DEs: Bluetooth, NetworkManager, HAL come to mind. They all need a Unix-style clients to be written, so those who don't use DE may easily configure the corresponding services. IIRC there is CLI NetworkManager client in the works, but rest is still not covered. -- ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

I think the real question here is who is responsible for this. IMO the distro's have to step up to the plate here. Certainly in Mandriva we have configuration tools (drakconf) to manage things in a fairly central way. Other distros use tools provided in Gnome or KDE to do this, but most of these take effect after the DE has started (I could be pretty off-base here so please forgive me if this is perhaps an over simplification). In Mandriva it will be fairly simple to write a tools into our drakconf that would take /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi, copy it to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/ and edit the keymap to the correct local flavour. Our installation wizard already asks the necessary questions and we keep the answer in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard so even upgrades can have the correct file written for them. Is this something that should be left up to distros to do? I don't know. Paulo (PCPA) was talking about an option that could be put in to xorg.conf that would allow setting of the default keymap via an Option in e.g. ServerFlags section. Is this wise or is this just spreading the config around the place (bits of it in HAL, some in xorg.conf). Is it already the case that config is spread around? IMO distros have to shoulder some responsibility here. A recent example has been pulseaudio integration into the desktop. Some distros did very little work here (the Ubuntu LTS was particularly poor IIRC, with the latter version making up for that mistake). At Mandriva, I personally took a lot of time to ensure good integration and I know that RedHat and Debian did likewise. So is this input config stuff something that distro's should be doing in their own way (at least for the default DM stage - DE's can take over after that)? This is a genuinely open question, not one that is loaded in one way or another!

Re: [newb] Will xorg still allow non-hal config?
Le Lun 1 décembre 2008 12:22, Colin Guthrie a écrit : I think the real question here is who is responsible for this. IMHO the core problem is that the Linux kernel console has been left to rot quietly. The main reason evdev/hal does not export a system layout information xorg could use automatically is that layouts on the console are often misconfigured, since: 1. they do not use the layout database where maintenance happens (xkb-config) 2. therefore the optimal layout is often missing console-side, and good-enough for debugging qwerty is used 3. even when there is a good layout, there is often no obvious mapping between the console layout name and the xorg layout name. The result is that since there is no single shared layout X and the kernel use, no layout info is exposed by the kernel infrastructure. (and from a functional point of view there is no reason a key should have a different behaviour in X and the console). BTW now that almost all the X userspace has been converted to use fontconfig and modern TrueType/OpenType fonts, I expect the level of attention fonts in legacy bitmap format receive to drop sharply, which will ultimately lead to problems kernel console-side. -- Nicolas Mailhot ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
Re: Additional NULL (??) layout group with evdev+hal
Hi Peter,
this is regression caused by correction for 14373 (fixed with commit
ae986d1c73d).
I rebuild server removing the coding that copy more than 2 shift level
and more than 2 groups like this:
/* AB..CDE... - ABABCDE... */
if (groupWidth 0 maxSymsPerKey = 3)
pCore[2] = pCore[0];
if (groupWidth 1 maxSymsPerKey = 4)
pCore[3] = pCore[1];
/* ABABCDE... - ABABCDECDE */
/* idx = 2 + groupWidth;
while (groupWidth 2
idx maxSymsPerKey
idx groupWidth * 2)
{
pCore[idx] = pCore[idx - groupWidth + 2];
idx++;
}
idx = 2 * groupWidth;
if (idx 4)
idx = 4;
/* 3 or more groups: ABABCDECDEABCDEABCDE
for (n = 0; n groupWidth idx maxSymsPerKey; n++)
pCore[idx++] = pXKB[n];
*/
}
After installing this patched server the system doesn't generate this
strange 3rd groups any more. :-)
My guess is that keys not available on the keyboard can not have
keytype and thus the number of shift level is unknown thus keys with
more than 2 shift level generate this additional groups.
Cheers,
Thomas

(and from a functional point of view there is no reason a key should have a different behaviour in X and the console). So load the correct keyboard tables. The kernel is not and never has been a keyboard layout manager. That is a policy item, and the fact you may want differing behaviour and policy for different systems means it needs to stay so. I didn't write the kernel needed to be a layout manager, just that as long as the different bits of userspace (console and xorg) couldn't agree on a common layouting system there would be no chance of the system exposing a setting xorg could just pick at startup. (and exposing a setting is very different from having this setting managed kernel-side) BTW now that almost all the X userspace has been converted to use fontconfig and modern TrueType/OpenType fonts, I expect the level of attention fonts in legacy bitmap format receive to drop sharply, which will ultimately lead to problems kernel console-side. The bitmap fonts don't change so this sounds like complete garbage. Just check the console on any random selection of non-us or uk systems and you'll see the current garbage is the console output.

Look I really don't give a hoot about your personal font politics, but trying to bring in bogus technical arguments on the assumption that writing a short bit of code to generate bitmap fonts is too hard for people is a bit of a joke. Your other assumptions are crap too. If people need to do the work then the work will be done. Someone will take an hour to zap out the new bitmap fonts and all will be done. The day it gains parity with xorg on this front In the areas the matter it is far superior to X11. It renders consoles faster, it renders on text only hardware, it renders font based VGA consoles (ie most of them) outside of bitmap mode and it uses comparatively tiny amounts of memory. ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

i915 backlight failure on resume with 2.6.27
You probably remember the system, it's my fujitsu P7120 lifebook with the funny backlight wiring. Previously, suspend/resume was made to work by saving the PCI state including the legacy backlight register setting (and worked just fine when invoked with a hal quirk). On FC9, with the 2.6.26 fedora kernels, hal no longer does anything and relies on the i915 kernel driver. This was perfectly fine, except that the backlight was now being restored to full brightness on resume rather than the setting on resume. The other annoyance was that VT consoles were now lost on resume (switching to them produces a black screen, although switching back to vt7 where X is running is fine). As of the 2.6.27 fedora kernels, the backlight is now off on resume, which is even more annoying. It can be turned on by doing a VT switch, although all the console VTs are still blank, so there looks to be some bug in the i915 driver that crept in between 2.6.26 and 2.6.27.

X Hangs at Initializing int10
Hi all. I'm upgrading from Fedora 6 to Fedora 10. I did a clean install of Fedora 10 and then, as the default X config didn't work, I copied across my old xorg.conf file. Naturally I had to comment out a few lines in that file. Now a word on my setup. I have two screens, one hanging off an nVidia card, and the other on a SiS card. Both of them work just fine under Fedora 6. Anyway, after I did the steps above, I found it didn't work, so I've been trying one screen at a time. The SiS one works (unless I install the proprietary nVidia driver, so I removed that). The nVidia one doesn't work. I've tried the nv driver, the fbdev driver, and the vesa driver, all of which failed, although not always with the same error message. As nv is the one that worked with Fedora 6, that's the way I'd prefer to go (because it should be possible), but I'm open to other solutions. When I try to use the nv driver, the console appears to be hung, but it's still possible to ssh into the machine. The last entry in the log read as follows: (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libint10.so (II) Module int10: vendor=X.Org Foundation compiled for 1.5.3, module version = 1.0.0 ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 4.1 (II) NV(0): Initializing int10 The last line you see is the last line in the file. I tried the NoInt10 option, and then it seemed to get a lot further, but eventually failed with Fatal server error: AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0. The vesa driver failed at the same point. I'll attach my xorg.conf and my X.0.log; any help would be appreciated.

On Tue, Dec 02, 2008 at 04:18:36AM -0200, Paulo César Pereira de Andrade wrote: One possible solution, that I proposed some time ago (but got no response) would be to add something like an UDI option to input devices. So, one could have something like this in his xorg.conf: Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse1 Driver mouse Option UDI /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port_logicaldev_input Option Protocol ExplorerPS/2 Option Device /dev/mouse EndSection why not just use Option Device /dev/input/by-id/blahblahblah? That could be a better approach. But maybe would still cause confusion, i.e. for example, in the computer I am typing I have /dev/input/mice, /dev/input/mouse0 and /dev/input/event1, all with different major/minor, but referring to the same ps2 mouse. if you mount /dev/sda1 to /usr, /root and /home it would also cause confusion. You have two options: Don't configure input devices in xorg.conf and let HAL do the job. This is the standard use-case and we've actually gone to some effort to support this even on legacy setups. Configure input devices manually (in which case you'll need to tell the server to not automagically do things for you). The combination of both is just a bad idea unless you know the trickery involved. Then, the code in config/hal.c:device_added() or somewhere in hw/xfree86/xf86Xinput.c could check that, and if it matches the device that was about to be added, just leave it alone... evdev won't let you add a device with an already known major/minor again. hal won't a device with a known UDI. But that would also require using the evdev driver, or somehow telling it that other driver is using that major/minor. I repeat - config/hal won't let you add a device with a known UDI. If you go through HAL, it's fine. Other option is to change other drivers to use EVIOCGRAB on the descriptor, but this could cause some race conditions if two drivers tries to manage the same input device. There's a reason why we don't use EVIOCGRAB anymore, it breaks too many other (in-kernel) things. The problem is that hal/dbus consume a lot of time and resources to be functional, and on low profile computers, needing to wait for those being load to be able to use keyboard/mouse may not be a good option. Then don't use it and configure the devices manually. kbd/mouse still work, just like in the olden days. I also have seem reports of a users having problems after the switch to hal/evdev due to not restoring keyboard/mouse after suspend/resume. Unless the these problems float past me (i.e. Red Hat or FDO bugzilla), I can't do much about it. Upstream them, I'm really trying to fix input issues as soon as possible.
