[Bug 406123] New: X.org intel driver needs "ForceEnablePipeA" to prevent it from hanging when switching modes (855 chipset)
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=406123 Summary: X.org intel driver needs "ForceEnablePipeA" to prevent it from hanging when switching modes (855 chipset) Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: christoph@maxiom.de QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Created an attachment (id=225789) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=225789) Output of lspci -vv -nn I have done some research yesterday on that bug, and found that you can add an "ForceEnablePipeA" "true" option to "Device" section in xorg.conf. I added said option, and this makes mode switches (logging out, switches to console) work without full hang. Without this option, the system did very often hang when leaving graphical mode, no magic keys worked to get it back, only a hard power off would be possible. Even with ext3 file system, I lost some configuration data a few times already due to 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.

Thanks! Btw, my machine is not common (slate tablet), so I am probably the only one with that ID, but I guess many similar machines with different IDs have the same problem. Offtopic: Are there any other changes? Suddenly, XVideo seems to work now (it did not work earlier, but I did not test after setting the quirk option). Now I only wish my tablet would work as in 10.3 with Qt 4, I have not found the culprit yet :) -- 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.
