Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: bnc-team-xorg-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: publio.escipion.el.africano@gmail.com QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=332784) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=332784) HP Pavilion tx2532la hardware information. User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; es-ES; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091103 SUSE/3.5.5-1.1.2 Firefox/3.5.5 Before submit this issue I reviewed the bugs involving problems with video and TabletPCs, to avoid submit you something duplicated, and from https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=539004 I realized you no longer rely on a static X configuration, although Xserver could read xorg.conf if available (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=539004#c12), and I am very sorry about sax2. However, I think that there are clear advantages in the way it seems to be now (I remember me configuring Debian 2.2, so I know how gentle SuSE, which I use since 7, and Linux in general, have become), but I am not aware of them, and I am unfamiliar with the new dynamical X configuration: I have just jumped from openSuSE 10.2. Suggest me further reading on the new mechanism. But, since http://en.opensuse.org/HCL/Laptops/HP#tx_XXXX_xx implies the using of sax2, there is good idea to keep it working as deserves so useful an historic tool, specially when the new dynamical X configuration fails. I understand the advantages of this new mechanism, but I couldn't taste it. I have Tablet PC, a new HP Pavilion tx2532la, which hardware info I'll attach, in which I setup painly openSuSE 11.2 because the booted system used to hung up when arrived to the setup devices stage during the second part of the installation. It was difficult for me realize that it was because Xorg doesn't configured the video output at all, because instead of falling into a terminal, the system hung up. I run several times the installation, with several kernel parameters, unsuccessfully. I run the firmware test and the BIOS built-in memory test, I verified the installed software, and followed the boot log, so I discarded any issue previous to the running of the X server. So, I loaded the rescue system, mounted my root partition on /mnt and ls /mnt/etc/X11 and... I didn't see a xorg.conf file but that of the install system (xorg.conf.install). Of course, then, last Sunday, December 13t, 2009, I had no idea of the new way the video setting up was functioning, if I had had I had been very confused concernig the abnormality. Thus I cp /mnt/etc/X11/xorg.conf.install /mnt/etc/X11/xorg.conf and init 6... and the system, instead of rebooting, hung up! It was not responsive to APCI stimuli. I took a hammer... After starting up the laptop, the install systems resumed and I got my login screen. As the tablet and the pen didn't work at all (I wasn't worry about that yet), as instructed http://en.opensuse.org/HCL/Laptops/HP#tx_XXXX_xx, I invoked sax2 and... the system hung up (yes, again). All those situations involving the Xserver missfunctioning were unresponsive to Ctrl+Alt+Backspace and ACPI stimuli. Aware of the absence of the Xor.conf file and its follows, after performing a new install one could do the following: stop "The Final Countdown" (Europe) and switch to consoles 2, 5, 6 or 9 and mount the root partition (mount -t ext 4 /dev/<device> /mnt) and cp /mnt/etc/X11/xorg.conf.install /mnt/etc/X11/xorg.conf, after that return to the install screen (F7), and accept then to reboot into the installed system without trouble and for the install program resumed and finished the installation. (In this second opportunity, the tablet and the pen were functional but somehow crazy.) However, I still can not call sax2 for configuring my devices, add an external monitor (Acer Al1916W), and so on, because the system hangs up (I insist: black screen, unresponsive to Ctrl+Alt+Backspace and ACPI stimuli). And, concerning the issue https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=547900, I always installed wacom-kmp-desktop et alii, because I never use the pattern view during the install, but select the packages to install through the RPM categories tree, or the search engine (I had not noticed that there was a TabletPC pattern till the reading of this link). Whether would you suggest me how to configure my devices (I had never configured a TabletPC before) editing the xorg.cong file meanwhile you hand over this issue, I'll be very thankful. I broke the hammer. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install openSuSE 11.2 into a TabletPC (certaintly, into a HP Pavilion tx2532la) 2. 3. Actual Results: The system aborts, black screen, unresponsive to Ctrl+Alt+Backspace and ACPI stimuli. Expected Results: Well, as I stated before, I jumped from openSuSE 10.2, so I was waiting for the stage in which I was able to configure my monitor, because it run sax2, in which there is (still? I don't know whether are or are not changes in sax2) a section to configure the tablet and multiple monitors.
