So the difference between a Xen and a non-Xen kernel is that no fb_check_var handler is defined for Xen and so the pixclock field is set to a different value of 0 (by default). So * either we should no longer compare pixclock in fbdev_modes_equal() (or ignore a different value if it's 0 - assuming a Xen kernel in this case), because it's meaningless anyway (I'm not sure if it's really is) * or make sure to return back the same pixclock value when using the Xen kernel - which is not possible if I understand you correctly because no fb_check_var handler is defined I'm still wondering why this problem pops up now. I'm pretty sure I can rule out any changes in X.Org in this area.

...

Please clarify how SLE10's X handles this condition. I'll double check this. I was proven wrong and apologize. A lot of things changed in fbdevhw.c between SLES10 (X.Org 6.9) and openSUSE 10.3 (xorg-server 1.3.0.0). Code was reorganized, new checks have been added (among these is fbdev_modes_equal).

commit f6815cb68b0f6698497348fc6e4214dacef33b95 Author: Michel Dänzer Date: Sat Dec 30 10:18:28 2006 +0100 fbdevhw: Consolidate modeset ioctl calling, report failure if it modifies mode. The fbdev API allows the driver to 'accept' modes it doesn't really support by modifying it to the nearest supported mode. Without this check, e.g. vesafb would appear to accept all modes, even though it actually can't set any modes other than the bootup mode at all. ==> X.Org bug -- 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.

This code hasn't changed, so this would mean it was broken from the beginning ... Would be good to see a SLES10 Xen-kernel fbdev Xserver logfile to verify this. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=285523#c89 --- Comment #89 from Egbert Eich 2007-09-05 04:15:13 MST --- The proposed fix is fine. If the kernel doesn't report a valid pixel clock we accept any (ie. the default one chosen by the server). The 'default' setting mentioned in comment #84 is definitely broken which shouldn't matter. However if a default setting is chosen here the validation code should also take this into account. Otherwise the 'default' setting will cause this mode to be culled. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=285523#c98 --- Comment #98 from Stefan Dirsch 2007-09-10 18:29:49 MST --- It will be fixed with Beta4. Bugs are closed as fixed once the fix has been submitted. This does not necessarily mean that the fix is available at the same time in FACTORY. There can be a delay of days or even weeks before it gets checked in, built and finally pushed to FACTORY. It seemed you wanted to test it ASAP so I mentioned the buildservice, which I use to provide the current X.Org packages as well. Usually fixes there are available nearly at the same as I close the bugreport. I added the RPM changelog, since this is the best method to verify that the fix is really included with the package. Hope this helps. -- 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.
