[opensuse] OpenSUSE 10.3 Boxes (shipping?)
by Jorge Fábregas 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

Hello gys, Does anyone knows if the 10.3 boxes are already shipping? I ordered mine last Monday and I haven't received any shipping notification. It still says "Pre-Order today" on shop.novell.com though... I contacted CS but so far no answer :( Thanks, Jorge -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] WARNING - ATI fglrx driver module & New 2.6.23 kernel
by David C. Rankin 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

Listmates, For all those that relay on the ATI fglrx driver, Be Aware that the ATI fglrx driver will not compile against the new 2.6.23 kernel. This is an ATI problem and not a kernel issue. Several bug reports have already been filed. See: http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=803 This evening, a new patch was posted to the ati.cchtml.com site. I have NOT tested this patch yet, but I can confirm that without it the driver post-install script that builds the fglrx.ko kernel module will FAIL. Hopefully this will spare others the surprise that comes from the result: ****************************** Build of kernel module failed! ****************************** The UNVERFIED patch posted associated with Bug no. 103 is: --- firegl_public.c.orig 2007-10-23 19:31:26.000000000 +0200 +++ firegl_public.c 2007-10-23 19:32:07.000000000 +0200 @@ -217,6 +217,56 @@ #define preempt_enable() #endif +#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE > KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,22) +#if defined(__i386__) +#define ptep_test_and_clear_dirty(vma, addr, ptep) ({ \ + int __ret = 0; \ + if (pte_dirty(*(ptep))) \ + __ret = test_and_clear_bit(_PAGE_BIT_DIRTY, \ + &(ptep)->pte_low); \ + if (__ret) \ + pte_update((vma)->vm_mm, addr, ptep); \ + __ret; \ +}) + +static inline int pte_read(pte_t pte) { return (pte).pte_low & _PAGE_USER; } +static inline int pte_user(pte_t pte) { return (pte).pte_low & _PAGE_USER; } +#ifdef CONFIG_X86_PAE +/* + * Is the pte executable? + */ +static inline int pte_x(pte_t pte) +{ + return !(pte_val(pte) & _PAGE_NX); +} + +/* + * All present user-pages with !NX bit are user-executable: + */ +static inline int pte_exec(pte_t pte) +{ + return pte_user(pte) && pte_x(pte); +} +#else +static inline int pte_exec(pte_t pte) +{ + return pte_user(pte); +} +#endif /* PAE */ + +#elif defined(__x86_64__) +static inline int ptep_test_and_clear_dirty(struct vm_area_struct *vma, + unsigned long addr, pte_t *ptep) +{ + if (!pte_dirty(*ptep)) + return 0; + return test_and_clear_bit(_PAGE_BIT_DIRTY, &ptep->pte); +} +static inline int pte_read(pte_t pte) { return pte_val(pte) & _PAGE_USER; } +static inline int pte_exec(pte_t pte) { return !(pte_val(pte) & _PAGE_NX); } +#endif +#endif + // ============================================================ /* globals */ @@ -2489,7 +2539,7 @@ void ATI_API_CALL __ke_put_vm_page_table #ifndef ptep_clear_flush_dirty #define ptep_clear_flush_dirty(__vma, __address, __ptep) \ ({ \ - int __dirty = ptep_test_and_clear_dirty(__ptep); \ + int __dirty = ptep_test_and_clear_dirty(__vma, __address, __ptep); \ if (__dirty) \ flush_tlb_page(__vma, __address); \ __dirty; \ @@ -2936,7 +2986,7 @@ int ATI_API_CALL __ke_request_irq(unsign { return request_irq(irq, (void(*)(int, void *, struct pt_regs *))handler, - SA_SHIRQ, dev_name, dev_id); + IRQF_SHARED, dev_name, dev_id); } void ATI_API_CALL __ke_free_irq(unsigned int irq, void *dev_id) @@ -2959,7 +3009,7 @@ int ATI_API_CALL __ke_request_irq(unsign irq_handler_func = handler; return request_irq(irq, ke_irq_handler_wrap, - SA_SHIRQ, dev_name, dev_id); + IRQF_SHARED, dev_name, dev_id); } void ATI_API_CALL __ke_free_irq(unsigned int irq, void *dev_id) @@ -5436,7 +5486,7 @@ unsigned int ATI_API_CALL KAS_Spinlock_R /** \brief Type definition of the structure describing Slab Cache object */ typedef struct tag_kasSlabCache_t { - kmem_cache_t* cache; /* OS slab cache object */ + struct kmem_cache *cache; /* OS slab cache object */ spinlock_t lock; /* OS spinlock object protecting the cache */ unsigned int routine_type; /* Type of routine the cache might be accessed from */ char name[14]; /* Cache object name (kernel 2.4 restricts its length to 19 chars) */ @@ -5482,7 +5532,7 @@ unsigned int ATI_API_CALL KAS_SlabCache_ DBG_TRACE("creating slab object '%s'", slabcache_obj->name); if ((slabcache_obj->cache = - kmem_cache_create(slabcache_obj->name, iEntrySize, 0, 0, NULL, NULL))) + kmem_cache_create(slabcache_obj->name, iEntrySize, 0, 0, NULL))) { ret = 1; } -- David C.

[opensuse] pci-e video cards?
by David C. Rankin J.D. P.E. 30 Oct '07

30 Oct '07

lismates: What, out of the following, would be my best bet for compatibility with opensuse 10.3? The system is a Dell Optiplex w/Intel P4 2.8G with a pci-e 16x slot. I don't mind working with, or building, the proprietary drivers for ATI or nVidia. Basically, I use the pc as a desktop, but want something that will work well with compiz. Occasionally, my son will fire up a game as well.

[opensuse] The system crashes directly after login
by Neil 30 Oct '07

30 Oct '07

Hello Just after my login screen the system crashes to console and returns with a login screen. I tried adding a new user and trying to log in with that, I let xorgconfig generate a new xorg.conf (saved the old) to no avail. The console doesn't report any problems. I use OpenSUSE 10.2 with Gnome on a dmraid 0 system (on a Intel 82801ER Sata (fake)Raid controller). I am quite new in Linux, and would dearly like to post the needed logs, but dont kow where to find them (in Gnome I would be able to, but I cant start gnome atm) Thanks Neil Boekend -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
