[opensuse-factory] 11.2MS8 latest updates not playing nice with ATI
Hi . I have just done a zypper dup on the laptop now i am unable to boot the machine with using x11 failsafe and radeon.modset=0 on the grub command line without these the machine does not boot fully goes black screen and is dead no ssh into it no keyboard nothing at all have to force a hard restart to regain control The machine is as follows ATI Radeon Xpress 200M graphics using 128Mb shared memory Turion 64 bit cpu 1.5Gb Ram 60 Gb hdd I have tried removing xorg.conf to no avail the only error shown in "var/log/Xorg.0.log" is with respect to the fglrx module and where that has come from i dont know not on this machine at all this did not happen prior to the latest updates Pete PS it is NOT this machine that is at a lower level and awaiting a new hard drive . -- Powered by openSUSE 11.2 Milestone 2 (x86_64) Kernel: 2.6.30-rc6-git3-4- default KDE: 4.2.86 (KDE 4.2.86 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090514)) "release 1" 21:17 up 12 days 23:00, 4 users, load average: 1.12, 1.12, 0.92

Sorry to say I've done a clean install of M8 with the same graphics card and get the exactly the same problem. DC -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

If you read it you would see it IS M8 that is causing the problem and the latest updates in particular I DID state in the original mail that i send from a different machine to the affected one This machine i am typing on IS NOT the machine with the problem . For your information this machine that i am sending this on is rock solid stable my main workhorse with ALL multimedia working the way i want and also uses Nvidia graphics so is not a problem Pete. -- Powered by openSUSE 11.2 Milestone 2 (x86_64) Kernel: 2.6.30-rc6-git3-4- default KDE: 4.2.86 (KDE 4.2.86 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090514)) "release 1" 07:48 up 13 days 9:31, 4 users, load average: 0.01, 0.05, 0.01

Nope seems it runs deeper than that after shutting the machine down over night it now will not boot init 5 only init 3 i can then SOMETIMES get X top run and KDE up but sure as i try to do anything it just bombs out to the login . will have to try doing another zypper dup in a couple of days see if anything has been CORRECTED ! as it is plainly a failure to test something to a reasonable standard before it is pushed out . 11.0 still works ok so it is not an hardware problem . this is not some strange unusual machine it is a very common Compaq Presario V5030 sold by the truck load Pete -- Powered by openSUSE 11.2 Milestone 2 (x86_64) Kernel: 2.6.30-rc6-git3-4- default KDE: 4.2.86 (KDE 4.2.86 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090514)) "release 1" 08:13 up 14 days 9:56, 4 users, load average: 0.10, 0.11, 0.06

Pets If you are sure about not being able to ssh in (i.e. its not just the firewall), then I would think that means that its not an X problem, but some sort of kernel oops on loading the graphics drivers or something. Hunt around your logfiles and try and find some more info (dmesg? /var/log/messages?)
And by the way, don't know why you are complaining about not enough testing, you are the one supposed to be doing the testing, you are running Factory after all. These kinds of things happen.

Moved .kde4 before rebooting. I login and during setup of the saved session, it dumps me back to the login prompt. I select kde3 and that works. I wonder if kde 4.3.2 will make it into 11.2 and possibly fix problems like the "FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE" hang that happens if qjackctl, VirtualBox and others if run from a terminal logged in as root with "su" but works if run across the network from ssh -X or locally with "su -".

Pete, Best you are going to do for your card is to go grab the latest radeonhd code from the git repository (and drm) and build drm and the radeonhd driver and install it. Simple enough. Just follow the directions at: http://wiki.x.org/wiki/radeonhd Much better performance than the standard radeon or ati driver but still 600% poorer performance than the fglrx driver. Also heating is a problem with all drivers except the fglrx driver because the opensource drivers lack the proprietary downclocking and gpu powerdown of the fglrx driver.

Hi All well been away for a few days (no computers no phones no noise no hassles ) I have updated the lappy to to the RC1 still strange when booting if i boot to init 3 log in as root then run init 5 i can log into KDE ass user no problem and i seems to behave ok no konki crash and the video driver (radeon) as supplied does not seem to be tooo bad ! bit snails pace but works . However if i try to boot straight into graphics mode it freezes just after HAL and will not respond to anything but a hard reset , Cant find anything in the logs of use at all so ideas as to just how to go about trying to find out what is going on please ..

It depends of the model of Your ATI video card. If the model is <2400, the latest driver You can use, is Catalyst 9.3. If the model video card is >2400, You can use the latest driver, but for example for 9.8, it need a few retouching in a source file: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=535216#c6 After a install atempt with sh ati-driver-installer-9-8-x86.x86_64.run, to recreate the files in /lib/modules/fglrx, I removed the if rutine related to "p = find_task_by_vpid(pid);" The source file to edit is: /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/firegl_public.c deletting the if routine "p = find_task_by_vpid(pid);" they was about four lines, and remaked the kernel module with /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod # ./make.sh And later called: /lib/modules/fglrx # ./make_install.sh I try to load the module: modprobe fglrx I got no errors.

Could be. I'm running M8 + Factory, but what I have forgotten is that I use xorg.conf while by default M8 doesn't. Try to run 'sax2 -m 0:radeon' and see if that solves problem.
Nope seems it runs deeper than that after shutting the machine down over night it now will not boot init 5 only init 3 i can then SOMETIMES get X top run and KDE up but sure as i try to do anything it just bombs out to the login .
will have to try doing another zypper dup in a couple of days see if anything has been CORRECTED ! as it is plainly a failure to test something to a reasonable standard before it is pushed out . 11.0 still works ok so it is not an hardware problem . this is not some strange unusual machine it is a very common Compaq Presario V5030 sold by the truck load

Pete,
Best you are going to do for your card is to go grab the latest radeonhd code from the git repository (and drm) and build drm and the radeonhd driver and install it. Simple enough. Just follow the directions at:
http://wiki.x.org/wiki/radeonhd
Much better performance than the standard radeon or ati driver but still 600% poorer performance than the fglrx driver. Also heating is a problem with all drivers except the fglrx driver because the opensource drivers lack the proprietary downclocking and gpu powerdown of the fglrx driver. You will notice the difference on your palmrest...
Hi All
well been away for a few days (no computers no phones no noise no hassles ) I have updated the lappy to to the RC1 still strange when booting if i boot to init 3 log in as root then run init 5 i can log into KDE ass user no problem and i seems to behave ok no konki crash and the video driver (radeon) as supplied does not seem to be tooo bad ! bit snails pace but works . However if i try to boot straight into graphics mode it freezes just after HAL and will not respond to anything but a hard reset , Cant find anything in the logs of use at all so ideas as to just how to go about trying to find out what is going on please ..
Same for me here, radeon xpress 200m. Sometimes it boots into X but only randomly. Thougt it is the grafik driver and waiting for fglrx. ready for 11.2
:( nu success with compiling. Running sax 2 and creating xorg.conf brings : no
improvement.
It depends of the model of Your ATI video card. If the model is <2400, the latest driver You can use, is Catalyst 9.3. If the model video card is >2400, You can use the latest driver, but for example for 9.8, it need a few retouching in a source file:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=535216#c6
After a install atempt with sh ati-driver-installer-9-8-x86.x86_64.run, to recreate the files in /lib/modules/fglrx, I removed the if rutine related to "p = find_task_by_vpid(pid);" The source file to edit is: /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/firegl_public.c
deletting the if routine "p = find_task_by_vpid(pid);"
they was about four lines, and remaked the kernel module with /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod # ./make.sh
And later called:
/lib/modules/fglrx # ./make_install.sh
I try to load the module:
modprobe fglrx
I got no errors.
Then I configured the driver with the aticonfig command.

the model is M200 PCIE is 9599 so 2400 ect is what ? no sucj numbers on this card .. -- Powered by openSUSE 11.2 Milestone 2 (x86_64) Kernel: 2.6.30-rc6-git3-4- default KDE: 4.2.86 (KDE 4.2.86 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090514)) "release 1" 08:12 up 12:19, 2 users, load average: 0.57, 0.20, 0.06

If the model is Radeon 9599, the nearest model in the driver selection is Radeon 9550, then the latest version You use, is 9.3, because the chip is earlier than the 2400 http://support.amd.com/la/gpudownload/linux/Legacy/Pages /radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.25&lang=English https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/catalyst_9...
