[opensuse] RE: Sony Vaio / i845 / DRM / GPU hanging too fast, declaring wedged!
Hi, I am trying to update my brother-in-law's computer which is a Sony Vaio (~2001) with 11.4 and KDE (11.4's version). And I keep getting random screens with B/W lines or just will not respond or several other errors. When I look at the F10 screen, I see messages about DRM errors and GPU hanging too fast....... What is the fix ?

That did not do it - alas! Also, I updated the "Intel" driver from the Xorg repository, deleted the old libdrm, updated to the latest kernel and still have the same problem. So far, using the switch "x11failsafe" at boot time, that seems to be working although I can't change the screen to 1024x768.

I have two i845G desktop systems. http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/xorg.conf-i845G-gx260-1280x1024x096x24BPP... works @ 1280x1024 on the (rev 01) one I just booted to KDE4 in 11.4. With the proper comment adjustments, it works on my CRT at up to 2048x1536 with no apparent X/KDE4 corruption. Note that it does include the quoted section, but after commenting it out there's no apparent adverse impact that I can see on a quick test. If it doesn't work on yours I'd have to suspect something special about your laptop makes it fail, maybe a different i845 rev level, or maybe a RAM problem.

This is a desktop - not a laptop. After I adjust the comments, etc, should it work at 1024x768 ? It already defaults to 1280x1024 with no option to change it.

I see Sony and assume laptop. I don't think I've actually ever encountered a Sony PC that wasn't a laptop. :-p

Yes, unless it is an extremely rare display that does not support it. Possibly the VertRefresh range needs to be raised to match what the display actually supports, maybe HorizSync as well. The ranges in it now are conservative, better suited to LCDs than CRTs.
It already defaults to 1280x1024 with no option to change it.
If it's defaulting to 1280x1024, the EDID info must be telling X that 1280x1024 is the preferred native mode. Virtually all currently working desktop displays support 1024x768 at least as a fallback. You should be able to select 1024x768 via krandrtray if it's starting at 1280x1024. If attempts to use 1024x768 fail, maybe see what happens by trying 1152x864. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

I don't know, but I'm guessing it causes the better of fbdev or vesa to be used instead of the native driver. You need to put up /var/log/Xorg.0.log so people have a chance to spot what your problem might be. http://susepaste.org/ or http://pastebin.com/ or your own personal web space are best. Same for 'hwinfo --gfxcard' output. Check also in BIOS setup for RAM allocated to video. Set it to 8 if it is set to 1. I don't recall if 845 needs or is using the legacy driver here, and don't have access to my 845's workspace ATM. If it isn't already installed, try installing the xorg-x11-driver-video-intel-legacy rpm and specify its use in xorg.conf. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

82801/ICH7 & ICH8 work here with all openSUSE versions installed. What may be the problem is permissions rather than chip/configuration. No sound as root either?

First, I tried the upgrade path from 11.4 to 12.1 - no sound. Then, I tried a fresh install (12.1) - formatting / partition - still no sound. What permissions should I check ?

That your user is member of audio group, but if it doesn't work as root, that is probably not a problem. Also, if you are KDE user and have newer Nvidia graphic card it can happen that HDMI audio is default, which will send audio to HDMI connector instead classic audio connectors and speakers or headphones.

Where are you setting it? The reliable way to get your own preferred mode used instead of the display's preferred mode is set the PreferredMode you want in xorg.conf or xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf. You can also use xrandr prior to desktop startup, but the xorg.conf* route is a lot easier to figure out.

Are you talking about more than one computer, or are you comparing your own desktop puter to a friend's laptop, or something else? Some things change from version to version, and vary from hardware to hardware.

"Personal Settings" (Configure Desktop) -> Display& Monitor -> Size: 1280x1024 (Auto)
Which, KDE? I've never seen that stick across sessions. Personal Settings is just that (in most cases), personal desktop settings, and not systemwide settings. If what you're really trying to do is make everything on the desktop bigger, the better way is to force DPI up. Using DPI as a zoom factor maximizes display quality by using the display's preferred resolution. While force DPI also shows up in Personal Settings (in fonts), the more reliable way is the same as with preferred mode, via xorg.conf*, though the most expedient method to do it varies by video chip driver. It's more easily done indirectly via DisplaySize. http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/DisplaySize provides examples of resolution and screen dimensions necessary to produce desired DPI. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

That's a stock 11.4 file, nothing but a placeholder where customization can be added. The difference between it and 12.1 is all lines are commented instead of most. For additions to 12.1's to work, the "#"s need to be removed that are missing in 11.4's. In other distros, by default xorg.conf.d/ is empty. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

in 11.4, I'm not using xorg.conf, yet still getting 1024x768 using Personal Settings. Why can't I do the same in 12.1 ? Duaine On 04/06/2012 10:54 PM, Felix Miata wrote:

I just did the "upgrade" path to 21.1 and I can get, to stay, 1024 x 768 - but - don't know how. The only thing I did different, was to, at install time, hit F3 and change the entry to 1024 x 768.

I have the ASUS MB and Intel HD chip using driver snd-hda-intel. After initial upgrade, sound was fine. Rebooted, sound is gone. Tried every option (setups) through YAST and still no sound. Also, after reboot, alsasound (system runlevels) had an Yes* - so I stopped and restarted, but still no sound. If I can't get this resolved, I'll got to go back to 11.4.

Played with for 2 more hours, for now, going back to 11.4 On 04/15/2012 08:10 PM, Duaine Hechler wrote:
