(3) then, the launchpad.net site notes (https://launchpad.net/~glasen/+archive/855gm-fix) an 855GM fix of the 855GM problem noted in the freedesktop.org (intel i855GM) problem (reported here http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27187) where there is a Ubuntu community live CD with this fixed (I downloaded and burned the CD and I will give it a try soon) http://glasen-hardt.de/?p=568.

I downloaded the iso file for the Ubuntu community CD, burned it, and then today booted my Fujitsu Siemens Amilo 7400M laptop with the i855GM graphics. The freeze that I experienced on openSUSE-11.2 and 11.3 M4 and M6 does NOT occur with this special Ubuntu community test version. I checked the Xorg.0.log file i that Ubuntu liveCD and the "Intel" driver (version 2.11) is being used with a Ubuntu 2.6.32-22-generic kernel (which I presume has been specially patched with the fix noted here https://launchpad.net/~glasen/+archive/855gm-fix. There are so many various fixes around, this is a bit confusing. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Well I hadn't known the kernel.org patch, but it seems to be this one, for FC13: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=25084 from: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15248#c35

I downloaded and booted to the FC13 liveCD, and my i855GM laptop still freezes immediately after X boot, as soon as the mouse is used. Since FC13 includes the drm-intel-big-hammer.patch (which is the one referenced) I can confirm that the drm-intel-big-hammer.patch is insufficient to prevent the freeze reported in this thread. I am still of the opinion that the closest thing we have to a fix is the freedesktop 27187 bug fix, post #158 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27187#c158 in turn points to this proposed bug fix: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=35548 . However I can't point to a specific Linus 2.6 git tree patch. It could be there, I just do not know how/where to look. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=555619 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=555619#c25 --- Comment #25 from Lee Matheson 2010-08-06 13:00:11 UTC --- Checking in today 26-Augst on the freedesktop thread http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27187 with the v9-against-latest-drm-intel-next patch and most the effort appears to be testing it against the 2.6.34 kernel and ensuring changes to the 2.6.35 kernel do not undo the benefit of the patch. I can not tell if this patch has been submitted upstream to linux git tree. As near as I can determine, this is not yet the case, but I could be wrong. If we could have someone create a "test" openSUSE-11.3 liveCD with this v9-against-latest-drm-intel-next patch in that liveCD kernel, I would test it on my Amilo 7400M, and would push on openSUSE forums to have other users with similar i855GM hardware to download and test it. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I have a bug report on openSUSE-11.3 here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=593463 where the behaviour is minimally improved (instead of an immediate crash, one gets 10 to 30 minutes of operation). Trying the Kernel:HEAD patches is a bit tricky as that laptop is used by my wife and she relies on openSUSE-11.1 which is functioning nicely. I risk her wrath if I try more than just a liveCD on that laptop. Is there a liveCD with the kernel:HEAD kernels that I could test ? I do note from discussion on openSUSE forums there are different 855GM implementations and not all 855GM users suffer from this behaviour. -- Configure bugmail: http://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=555619 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=555619#c29 --- Comment #29 from Lee Matheson 2010-09-28 13:14:38 UTC --- I note the following appears to be the same bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=593463 I also note this bug is actively being investigated upstream in thread http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27187 where the most promising patch has still not yet been submitted upstream to Linus git tree. The reason for not yet submitted is noted in comment 233 in that thread. However there is still effort ongoing. My apologies for not being able to try any of the kernel:HEAD kernels as the hard drive is too small on that laptop for an openSUSE-11.3 install (with a custom kernel) and the best I could do is install an openSUSE-11.1 kernel or test from a liveCD, if asked to test. I can not remove the openSUSE-11.1 from that laptop without risking the wrath of my wife, who for once in her life on that laptop running openSUSE-11.1 is happy with openSUSE on a PC. If either this bug 555619 or bug 593463 is closed in lieu of the other, I will be happy with such an approach (as I believe them to be the same 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.
