[opensuse] 11.1 in graphics mode not installable on Intel 845G onboard graphics
Hi, I'd like to report an assumed bug in graphics support for Intel onboard braphics 845G in opensuse 11.1 I am not an experience beta-tester (actually not a beta-tester at all) so I'd like to avoid writing formal bug report. However being a moderator in a german forum on opensuse I checked quite carefully including help from my co-moderators so there is some confidence. I can also give some support on locating the bug if given some guidance :-) So what is it? Whenever I try to install with any of the usual options (acpi, local apic, secure settings), everything goes fine until the final hardware setup which crashes. Installing into text mode, loading graphics support and starting "sax2 -a" manually consistently revealed this error in yast.99.log: "intel_bufmgr_fake.c:392: Error waiting for fence: Device or resource busy." There is no additional HW plugged to the boards, just onboard features. The board is a Fujitsu Siemens Computers Board with a P4. To allow some hardware identification, here is output of "lspci": 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE/PE DRAM Controller/Host-Hub Interface (rev 01) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 01) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 01) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 01) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-M) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 01) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev 81) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL (ICH4/ICH4-L) LPC Interface Bridge (rev 01) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801DB (ICH4) IDE Controller (rev 01) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) SMBus Controller (rev 01) 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01) 02:08.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB PRO/100 VM (LOM) Another poblem I notice lately is that initialization is obviously incomplete. That is if I do a reboot from Window to Linux I ge no suitable signal but an "out of range" message from my monitor. Only if I shut down completely from windows and then restart it works fine. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Unfortunately, it is unlikely that anyone from this list will file the bug report for you. I strongly suggest you get a bugzilla account (if you don't already have one) and open a bug report. It's the best way to track bugs, and you clearly have enough information for the initial bug report.
However being a moderator in a german forum on opensuse I checked quite carefully including help from my co-moderators so there is some confidence.
Even better, you might want to add their email addresses to the CC so they can either provide information or otherwise follow the bug when you are not available.
I can also give some support on locating the bug if given some guidance :-)
That's a very important part of filing a bug. If you aren't at least willing to provide more information, the bug may very well wither and die without being truly resolved. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/

Same with me. The bug has been fixed. The crash happens after the installation has finished.

We atually released an online update for this, so please install all online updates and try that before testing out above repository. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The online update didn't work for me with the Dell gx260. The only way I could get it working was to subscribe to the X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_11.1/ repo via Yast and update X. I have wasted so much time on 11.1 and Dell computers I really do want to forget 845 graphics forever. I started to install old nvidia cards from e-bay on 20 off 260's so it's been a waste of money too. I often wondered if I bought SLED I'd get bugfixes faster.
