[Bug 310305] New: Patch to fix evdev breaks sax2
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=310305 Summary: Patch to fix evdev breaks sax2 Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Beta 3 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Blocker Priority: P5 - None Component: SaX2 AssignedTo: ms@novell.com ReportedBy: deanjo@sasktel.net QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: sndirsch@novell.com Found By: Beta-Customer After applying the patch to correct the evdev issue sax2 and sax2 -r is used, sax2 refuses to generate new updated xorg.conf. Even if xorg.conf is removed a new one is never generated. It seems like that no probing is done of the hardware after the patch was applied.

It should be investigated for openSUSE 11.0.

I am willing to do yet another reinstall with the the "evdev-free" updates and see if sax2 now generates a changable xorg.conf.

Just download and install the RPM." Simply for the reason to verify that sax2 is not ran before the inital setup failure. Just installing the rpms still results in no xorg.conf created even with the new rpms. Whatever the patch exposes for either new or old bugs it seems once the "patched" edition of the package is installed the damage is already irreversably done to sax2. -- 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.

If this option is required for SaX2 we need to rename this option in the evdev driver. Protocol and InputFashion options were removed since these are not mentioned in evdev manual page. I didn't know that InputFashion is a sax internal identifier. Protocol option could be a general input driver option.

Dean, could you *please* remove the xorg.conf files written by nvidia-xconfig before you do any tests? Thanks.
I always do. I was just posting the xorg.conf written by nvidia-xconfig showing what does work. Non of my issues have been reported using anything but the base install. Upon further investigation, the MX510 does indeed set the correct metamodes upon initial installation if it is used BUT subsequent sax2 sessions write no xorg.conf nor do they pickup the correct metamodes for the monitor. The G5 does not as sax fails upon writing the initial config. So in summary, Fresh install with a MX510 results in the initial successful xorg.conf but any changes through sax2 fail to write a xorg.conf Fresh install with a G5 results in a immediate failure to write a working xorg.conf because of the evdev bug, and sax2 cannot launch. After patching for the G5, sax2 will launch but still does not detect the correct metamodes nor save a xorg.conf. Sooooo after discovering that I then did a fresh web installs of openSUSE 10.3 (X86-64) Beta3plus with the G5 attached. This time upon first attempt to boot to the desktop the monitor starts in a endless loop of attempts to sync with the monitor, you could see the x of the cursor pop up for a second and then it would try again to resync. So I reboot start at runlevel 3 and apply your patches. Good news is that sax2 will again launch after applying the patches but still will not write a xorg.conf. Now what I used to do before is keep a known good xorg.conf laying around and just copy it over to /etc/X11/xorg.conf which was the only way of me getting a functional desktop before. Figuring this would work as well with Beta3plus I did the same thing and copied it over. The result though this time was quite different. Even with the known good xorg.conf in place X still refused to launch. I could never get to the desktop even as I made one final stab at the cat with installing the nvidia blobs and tried using their nvidia-xconfig with the same results. This is really getting me puzzled. The next step I did was once again do another install but this time swapping out the video card for another nvidia series (5200) and replaced the monitor with another multisync crt of different brand and make (Hyundai Deluxscan 5870). The results with the different card and monitor were the EXACTLY the same. I've now done a total of 8 reinstalls since I last posted with different combinations of crt monitors, videocards (even switched heads on the cards as a stab in the dark), motherboards, installation media, patched and unpatched all failing except at least with the Beta3 ISO and previous I could at least copy over a known good xorg.conf and get to the desktop even though sax2 was completely useless. I do believe your latest G5 patches are working at least because after applying them sax2 will at least launch but again it just refuses to write a new xorg.conf. Can someone please do me the favor of trying with the fully patched sax2-ident to save a new xorg.conf while using a multisyc crt monitor? For what it is worth I will attached the xorg that was generated by the installer with Beta3plus. -- 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.

For what it is worth I will attached the xorg that was generated by the installer with Beta3plus. On Beta3+ sax2 used the "mouse" instead of the "evdev" driver for the G5 mouse.
I still don't understand why SaX2 can't write an initial xorg.conf with G5 in place, but since it also can't rewrite it with a MX510 in place (which does not use evdev at all), this is likely a completely unrelated issue you are observing. -- 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.

SaX2 should not create any modelines, since nv driver uses the NoModelines profile. BTW, there are two entries in Driver.map for nv driver as you can see. :-( I also don't understand why nv uses the NVidia profile ... # /.../ # Mapping table for X11 driver to profile # ===================================================== # Driver Name | Profile # ----------------------------------------------------- nv : Depth24,NVidia nvidia : Depth24,NVidia radeon : Depth24,Radeon i810 : Depth24,NoDDC,LinearAlloc sis : SiS,Depth24 fglrx : FireGL tseng : VideoRAM intel : Depth24,Intel nv : NoModelines fbdev : NoModelines -- 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.

Hopefully this can be corrected for opensuse 11 so we can switch back opensuse in the future. Unfortunately that means we have to switch to Fedora 8 this semester as it does not exhibit the same issues. -- 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.

My current work around is that I have to add the update repo and the nvidia repo to the additional sources during the 1 stage of install, then everything goes smooth. I've since remastered the DVD to automatically add the update repo as a install source. As far as us switching back to openSUSE, I will have to re-evaluate it, currently there are too many show stoppers for me to say right now such as https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=371657, https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=350017, and having to rebuild the Nvidia rpms manually to test with openSUSE 11 since none are provided for the development releases. -- 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.

Thanks for considering switching back to openSUSE. Since the remaining issue has been fixed meanwhile, I think it's appropriate to close this bugreport as as well.
