Re: Intel (Xorg-7.6): No kernel modesetting driver detected

2011-01-25 Thread Timo Jyrinki
2011/1/20 Timo Jyrinki timo.jyri...@gmail.com:
 Ubuntu's 2.6.37 kernel config as the basis, so CONFIG_DRM_I915=m and
 CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS=y are there.

 The kernel in use is edp-fixes-2 and I also gave him drm-intel-fixes
 one with the same result. Only vesa driver works for him for now.

Just to not leave loose ends, for some reason I needed to instruct the
person I'm helping with also add i915.modeset=1 to the kernel
bootline. Meanwhile I also switched to drm-intel-next, which, if I
understood correctly, has a bit different set of fixes than
edp-fixes-2. I'll have him test also the edp-fixes-2 branch at some
point, since that would be closer to a released kernel than the
current drm-intel-next. Of course, having the proper set of patches in
2.6.37.x would be nice as well.

Adam,

Now that I sent the whole Xorg.0.log file to us a while ago,
has the whole file told anything else interesting in
addition to the excerpt I originally sent?
Other than the fact that the intel driver quietly fails?

Either clearly shows that the intel driver (whether 2.13 or 2.14)
just doesn't work.
The deafening silence the logs have been met with seems to
be in agreement with my diagnostic.

Waiting with bated breath for us to come with a happy resolution
on the intel driver.

You need to enable kernel modesetting to use the current stable releases
of -intel.

Check you have CONFIG_DRM_I915 and CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS enabled for your
kernel. The latter can be optionally replaced with i915.modeset on the
boot command line or at module load time. This does presume that you have
at least a 2.6.29 kernel.

Hi Chris,

Thank you very much for your prompt and clear answer.

However, I have two problems, if I may.

1.  On the 2.6.36.2 (the one I started this thread on),
 I always had (just in case):

--- Direct Rendering Manager (...) 
...
      Intel I810  
      Intel 830M, 845G, 852GM, 855GM, 865G    
    i830 driver   
    i915 driver   
   [ ]   Enable modesetting on intel by default

For some reason, the boot parameter you suggested (grub excerpt):
kernel /boot/LFSkernel root=/dev/sda3 i915.modeset=1
does not work.  The system remains regular (non-KMS), thus the
Original Post (problem)

2.  I tried your suggestion on 2.6.36.3 and 2.6.37 with
CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS hard-wired.

The intel driver works perfectly in graphics now (i.e., problem solved)
Unfortunately, I end up with a situation where, in command (i.e., VGA Text) 
mode,
I lose my long-beloved 80x25 full screen resolution and get _stuck_ with
something like 240x67 (1920x1080? ) - also full wide-screen
(the monitor is 16:9, DVI).

A grub line like
kernel /boot/LFSkernel root=/dev/sda3 i915.modeset=0
clumsy as it may be, when I know in advance I'd be working in
command mode, does _not_ work.  The system boots KMS regardless.

Is there a way, once up in KMS, to dynamically switch to my old
VGA Text mode (from this crazy 240x67) and, ideally, back to KMS too?

Many thanks again,
-- Alex

Then your modprobe is not parsing the command line for any relevant
module parameters and would need to put those into
'echo options i915 modeset=1  /etc/modprobe.d/i915-modeset.conf'

look at Documentation/fb/modedb.txt for a description of the video=
parameter to specify the mode for the console. Something like
video=640x480 will restore the VGA mode with 80x25 characters.

Everything works now:

Re: Intel (Xorg-7.6): No kernel modesetting driver detected

2011-01-20 Thread Timo Jyrinki
2011/1/20 Adam Jackson a...@nwnk.net:
 Look, do what you have to do, just show us the whole file.

I actually have a related similar Xorg.0.log, and since alupu's
attachments still didn't show the kms related line which I assume he
was initially talking about, I'm attaching this log here.

I don't know if it helps much, the situation I have is that I'm trying
to remote debug / help a co-worker get his new Dell Latitude E6510
running (the terrible bug 29278 ie. black screen), but I've been
unsuccessful. I'm not sure if the lack of kernel modesetting problem
mentioned in the Xorg.0.log is some kind of newbie problem that I'm
just not realizing since I don't have the laptop myself in my hands.
The i915 module _is_ loaded, and there is nothing special in dmesg
(and only kernel parameters are quiet splash). However according to
him the screen (now not blank black with the custom kernel) seemed
normal 80x25 ie. somehow not mode-setting kind of screen. Or it might
be possibly because of the custom kernel build instead of Ubuntu
build, unless i915 should always select some higher native resolution
which would automatically result in a smaller font. Nevertheless there
is no log indication of kms failing to initialize or so. I used
Ubuntu's 2.6.37 kernel config as the basis, so CONFIG_DRM_I915=m and
CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS=y are there.

The kernel in use is edp-fixes-2 and I also gave him drm-intel-fixes
one with the same result. Only vesa driver works for him for now.

Hi Timo,

I don't know what kms is.
Regardless, to recap my situation:

1. With intel-2.13.0 driver, Xorg-7.6 fails to start up with
 (EE) intel(0): No kernel modesetting driver detected

2. Now, with the newly released intel-2.14.0 driver
Xorg-7.6 fails to start up with
 (EE) No devices detected.
The latter behavior is what is shown in the 'Xorg.0.log' I attached
for us to analyze and hopefully to fix the intel driver
(as I mentioned, the vesa driver works OK, so the failure
appears strictly related to the intel driver).

Note, the previous error (2.13.0 - No modesetting) cannot be seen.
I see two possibilities:
2.1. In changing the driver from 13 to 14 the bug was fixed.
2.2. The current error (No devices) comes first and, because of
the ensuing crash, you don't get a chance to enjoy the modesetting
one (so to speak).

Thanks for your comments,
-- Alex

RandR is an abbreviation for Resize and Rotate.

I think he knew that judging by what he wrote, but yes, randr 1.2/1.3 
can do placement too. Just look at the output from xrandr command and 
the --help it provides :)

Back to the original topic. I have 2.6.29 running but KMS always locks
up the laptop when X starts. And 3D is horribly slow. While glxgears has
sped up
2131 frames in 5.0 seconds = 426.172 FPS
2141 frames in 5.0 seconds = 428.160 FPS
2143 frames in 5.0 seconds = 428.454 FPS
2129 frames in 5.0 seconds = 425.781 FPS

my real benchmark chromium B.S.U dropped from high 50's to 8FPS. Wow
is back to unplayable and opengl still doesn't work.

Kernel modesetting

2009-03-24 Thread tsuraan
I have a laptop with an intel VGA controller, and I'd like to try the
new kernel modesetting from the 2.6.29 kernel.  What xorg intel driver
version, xorg version, etc do I need to try this out?  Also, will it
be possible to use DRI and Xinerama in this configuration, or is that
impossible for some other reason?

My Intel chip, from lspci -v:

controller])

The Intel Xorg driver doesn't work with Xinerama anymore. It just
crashes if you enable Xinerama.  The last version of the Intel driver I
know that works with Xinerama is 1.7.4.

Is that due to xinerama or is that the broken dual head support ?

Forcing Option Noaccel seems to fix the hang in X if you have  2048
pixels width of display on Intel video (even though it claims anyway to
be disabling acceleration it apparently doesn't do it right)

Without that hack you can't do large displays on things like Fedora 10,
only on Fedora 9

This is caused by the Intel Xorg driver as soon as Xinerama is enabled,
even with only one 1024x768 display, see

Hi!
The Intel Xorg driver works with Xinerama. I'm writing you this half
on my 22-Monitor and half on my Laptop's LVDS.

And it continually worked since i bought my monitor 2 years ago.
Currently I'm on the git-version of the intel-driver as of march 19th.

perhaps your statement about the intel xorg-driver not working with
xinerama is too broad?

This version works with both, KMS and Non-KMS.
The only kink is, that with KMS the output's are numbered (VGA vs VGA1
and LVDS vs LVDS1) so you have to extend your
xorg-monitor-configuration for these outputs)

The only bug in KMS that keeps me from defaulting to it, is
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20666 (slow rxvt rendering),
but i have no time to pursue this issue any further.


For KMS i have updated also my xorg-server and various dependencies to
the git-versions. 

Sincerly, 

Florian Mickler
