https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=239188 Summary: OpenGL Z-buffer sorting confused on Intel graphics cards Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: SuSE Linux 10.1 Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: sndirsch(a)novell.com ReportedBy: sitsofe(a)yahoo.com QAContact: sndirsch(a)novell.com Description of the problem: The z-buffer (which apparently controls which surfaces are shown above other surfaces) sometimes becomes confused on computers using Intel integrated graphics. Steps to reproduce the problem: (with 3D Acceleration enabled) 1. Start KDE. 2. Press the right mouse button on an empty piece of the desktop and choose "Configure Desktop..." 3. From the list at the left choose Screen Saver. Open the "OpenGL Screen Savers" item and select Carousel. Note the image in the preview window. 4. Click on the Setup button. Drag the new KXSConfig window so you can see the preview in the Kdesktop window at the same time. Expected results: Parts of images at the back of the KXSConfig preview being obscured by surfaces near the front of the scene to not be visible. Actual results: Occassionally a surface at the back of the scene will be drawn in front of a surface which should be occluding it. How reproducible is the problem?: It is reproducible every time. Version information: SUSE 10.1 (both x86_64 and i586 versions) Mesa-6.4.2-19.12 xorg-x11-server-6.9.0-50.30 Two different Intel cards exhibited the same problem. The first in a x86_64 desktop: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 945G/GZ Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) The second in a laptop: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) Additional Information: The problem will also periodically manifest itself during fullscreen OpenGL screensavers (which are activated after a timeout) but there is seemingly no pattern for when it will happen. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Please compare the attached boot logs (the logs are from the 10.2 Beta1 kernel but the Beta2 kernels shows the same behavior). (Please tell me if you are interested in bug reports with working workarounds like this. I just reported it because e.g. the RHEL4U4 kernel works out of the box on this machine) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

It would be hard to describe here these things, so I added a .png image with all specifications.

[Bug 220839] New: GNU parted doesn't have dual GPT/DOS partition table support

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=220839 Summary: GNU parted doesn't have dual GPT/DOS partition table support Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 2 plus Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: olh(a)novell.com ReportedBy: agruen(a)novell.com QAContact: qa(a)suse.de CC: gregkh(a)novell.com, rguenther(a)novell.com Macintosh machines use the EFI bootloader with GPT partition tables. Primarily for Windows support, MacOS supports a dual GPT/DOS partition scheme in which a DOS partition table is created that mirrors the GPT partition table as well as possible (at most four primary partitions; no extended partitions possible; first primary partition reserved for EFI). The mixed GPT/DOS partition setup is useful for dual-booting MacOS and Linux: grub (version 1, the only usable version to date) doesn't support GPT partition tables, and relies on a DOS partition table to exist. Parted supports GPT partiton tables, but not the dual GPT/DOS partition scheme. Therefore, whenever parted modifies the GPT partition table, it wipes out the DOS partition table. There is an external tool, gptsync, which creates a dual GPT/DOS partition table from a GPT partition table. This tool can be used to fix things up again after parted. It would be very nice if parted supported the dual GPT/DOS partition scheme. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Problem is that by default 32bit kernel reports that initrd image should be loaded just below 512MB boundary. This splits 896MB lowmem block into two pieces - one from ~8MB to ~500MB (our tests show that there is something around 502MB of memory here) and one from ~512 to 896MB (384MB large). And unfortunately when there is more than 63GB of memory then pages array grows beyond 502MB, memory allocation fails, and system panics and then triplefaults as panic occured too early. Our (VMware) tests confirm that same workaround as for Ubuntu works for your products as well - changing grub's config to do: uppermem 40000 kernel --no-mem-option <kernel_image> <andargumentsasalreadypresent> instead of kernel <kernel_image> <andarguments...> as long as initrd is smaller than 30MB. Is there any reason why your kernel suggests recommended initrd location at 512MB? Using either 800MB or 40MB would work, as then there would be 700+MB contiguous block of physical memory for pages array. But with 512MB normal zone (832MB) is split into two pieces - one slightly below 500MB, and another ~300MB, neither of them sufficiently large to hold 512MB pages array :-( Thanks, Petr Vandrovec -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
