[Bug 596740] New: With nouveau and GF6100, X looses mouse pointer and exhibits some slight desktop defects after switching display resolution back and forth several times.
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=596740 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=596740#c0 Summary: With nouveau and GF6100, X looses mouse pointer and exhibits some slight desktop defects after switching display resolution back and forth several times. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Milestone 5 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: bnc-team-xorg-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: zhubr@mail.ru QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3 With nouveau and GF6100, X looses mouse pointer and exhibits some slight desktop corruption after switching display resolution back and forth several times (I did this through KDE confgurator). After that, logging out does not help, killing Xorg does not help (still no mouse cursor), init 2/init 5 results in X not being able to show up anymore until full reboot. Initially (just after boot) the mouse pointer is OK and desktop is OK too. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot KDE x86_64 live CD using GF6100 or maybe some similar videocard. 2. Go to display resolution changer and select some lower res, then some higher res again, repeat this several times. 3. Actual Results: X mouse cursor got totally invisible (though I can see reaction on mouse clicks and movements), also there seemed to be some slight garbaged areas on the desktop. Expected Results: Normal X desktop appearance with mouse cursor visible. -- 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.

With nomodeset and nv driver the resolution is limited by 800x600 so I can only switch between 800x600 and 640x480.
That sounds weird. Could you attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log when you use 'nomodeset'? -- 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.

Xorg log file when booted with nomodeset
Your monitor could not be detected. Thus 800x600 is selected as fallback.
You are right. However, the monitor is attached in both cases, of course. So, should it be entered as a separate bugreport (failing DDC)? Does it really make sense to bother about nv as it is going to be obsoleted by nouveau anyway? -- 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.

Sure.

Seems so, but then why does it work with nouveau driver? Must be driver related though.

IMHO it doesn't. Hope it's ok for you to configure your monitor manually via xorg.conf(.d snippets). See Bug #598125 for an example. Closing as fixed in the sense of 'use nomodeset' and configure your monitor manually. -- 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.
