[opensuse-xorg] Xorg freezes under openSUSE 11.2 with Intel 855GM

Hi openSUSE community, I have a strange problem with X under openSUSE 11.2. After starting KDE 4.x or Gnome, the Xorg system freezes after 5-15 minutes. If that occurs I can still move the mouse, but any click or keyboard event is not recognized any more. Can't switch to console. But the system itself works, since I can login by ssh. All running (server) applications like Apache and MySQL still work. In order to use X again, I have to reboot (init 6 does not work, I have to type "reboot " twice). init 3 and init 5 does not work after logging in by ssh, killing X process does also not fix it. I really have to reboot. I have an Intel 855GM Integrated Graphics Device on board. I have already checked the RAM with memtest, everything okay. There are no error messages in syslog. I have tried disabling DRI, but no effect. Disabling Video cache in BIOS or reducing the video buffer size did also not help. Without logging in to KDE or Gnome the system runs stable for weeks, so I am pretty sure that Xorg is the problem. I guess that these problems are caused by the Intel graphics driver. I can remember that I had similar problems 1-2 years ago (freezes only with KDE 3 and 4, not Gnome). I am pretty sure, that the first problems started after switching to the Intel driver (from the old 810 driver), but in openSUSE 11.1 it was running fine. Now in openSUSE 11.2 the X system freezes after some minutes working. == System Info == lspci -v: 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) Subsystem: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device Flags: fast devsel Memory at 80000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [disabled] [size=128M] Memory at 7e100000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled] [size=512K] Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 1 ---- xorg.conf: Section "Module" Load "dri" Load "dbe" Load "extmod" Load "glx" EndSection Section "ServerFlags" Option "AIGLX" "on" Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" "on" Option "ZapWarning" "on" EndSection Section "Device" BoardName "855 GM" Driver "intel" Identifier "Device[0]" Option "EXANoComposite" Option "monitor-VGA" "Monitor[0]" VendorName "Intel" EndSection ---- cat /proc/mtrr: reg00: base=0x000000000 ( 0MB), size= 2048MB, count=1: write-back reg01: base=0x07e000000 ( 2016MB), size= 32MB, count=1: uncachable reg02: base=0x07ff00000 ( 2047MB), size= 1MB, count=1: write-back ---- See also Xorg log attached.

[opensuse-xorg] What are the driver recommendations for Radeon HD 4290?
by Joerg Bruehe 24 Jun '10

24 Jun '10

Hi all, recently, the company got me a new machine with a 6-core AMD Phenom II, it has the AMD 890 GX chipset which includes Radeon HD 4290 graphics. My operating system is Debian stable (5.0, "lenny"), it reports the "xorg" package to be version 1:7.3+20 which includes "vesa" (1:1.3.0-4) and "radeon" 1:6.9.0-1+lenny4. It seems this "radeon" version does not support the graphics chip, and neither does "radeonhd" - my only chance till now was "vesa". I don't care about lack of acceleration (my use is software development and the usual office stuff), but I need rotation - which "vesa" doesn't support. I tried ATI's proprietary "Catalyst" drivers, all three versions 10.4, 10.5, and 10.6: As soon as I installed one, I got trouble in "bash" - file name completion by tab was affected (needed one extra "tab" hit), and prompts after command execution were displayed only if after I used the keyboard. I took this to mean there are severe incompatibilities and fell back on the vesa driver. To get rotation working, I installed a Matrox Millennium 200 SD using the "mga" driver, and this works fine. But as the Matrox doesn't have a DVI output, whereas my rotated monitor has such an input, I would really prefer to use the on-board graphics. Are there any recommendations what I might try? The machine is set up for dual boot, so I can keep one root partition stable and try different drivers and setups in the other one.

[opensuse-xorg] where do xrandr commands to be run at X/KDM/KDE startup belong?
by Felix Miata 19 Jun '10

19 Jun '10

[previously posted to factory list, where it has yet to generate a response] According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution if I was using *buntu they could go in ~/.xprofile or /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsetup. M7 has no latter, and apparently doesn't bother with any existing ~/.xprofile, which I linked to a script that works when run from Konsole. According to http://forums.opensuse.org/get-help-here/laptop/417815-run-xrandr-automatic… such commands belong in /etc/init.d/boot.local. That makes no sense to me, but I tried it anyway. That too fails. This script does what it needs to do: # 1280x960 59.94 Hz (CVT 1.23M3) hsync: 59.70 kHz; pclk: 101.25 MHz xrandr --newmode "1280x960-60" 101.25 1280 1360 1488 1696 960 963 967 996 -hsync +vsync xrandr --addmode VGA1 1280x960-60 # 1400x1050 59.98 Hz (CVT 1.47M3) hsync: 65.32 kHz; pclk: 121.75 MHz xrandr --newmode "1400x1050-60" 121.75 1400 1488 1632 1864 1050 1053 1057 1089 -hsync +vsync xrandr --addmode VGA1 1400x1050-60 # 1600x1200 59.87 Hz (CVT 1.92M3) hsync: 74.54 kHz; pclk: 161.00 MHz xrandr --newmode "1600x1200-60" 161.00 1600 1712 1880 2160 1200 1203 1207 1245 -hsync +vsync xrandr --addmode VGA1 1600x1200-60 # 1792x1344 60.00 Hz (CVT 2.41M3) hsync: 83.57 kHz; pclk: 203.25 MHz xrandr --newmode "1792x1344-60" 203.25 1792 1920 2112 2432 1344 1347 1351 1393 -hsync +vsync xrandr --addmode VGA1 1792x1344-60 # 1856x1392 59.93 Hz (CVT 2.58M3) hsync: 86.48 kHz; pclk: 217.25 MHz xrandr --newmode "1856x1392-60" 217.25 1856 1992 2184 2512 1392 1395 1399 1443 -hsync +vsync xrandr --addmode VGA1 1856x1392-60 # 1920x1440 59.97 Hz (CVT 2.76M3) hsync: 89.53 kHz; pclk: 233.50 MHz xrandr --newmode "1920x1440-60" 233.50 1920 2064 2264 2608 1440 1443 1447 1493 -hsync +vsync xrandr --addmode VGA1 1920x1440-60 # 2048x1536 59.95 Hz (CVT 3.15M3) hsync: 95.45 kHz; pclk: 267.25 MHz xrandr --newmode "2048x1536-60" 267.25 2048 2208 2424 2800 1536 1539 1543 1592 -hsync +vsync xrandr --addmode VGA1 2048x1536-60 xrandr --dpi 120 xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1600x1200-60 However, it needs to be run before KDM or the desktop populate, so that everything on the desktop initializes at the correct resolution and DPI, just like used to happen automatically in 11.0. Alternatively, how does one get PreferredMode, NoDDC, etc. in xorg.conf to do what they used to do? On my i845G, an xorg.conf file that worked to get up to 2048x1536 only last fall no longer works, sticking me in the awful lowfi mode 1024x768. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-xorg] video result (recordmydesktop) is bad when KWin Compositing is enabled (was Re: [opensuse-kde] KWin's Video Record Effect)

As i noticed in last thread[0] (sorry about double posts, it was an accident of pressing 'Enter' button on no purpose), I would not choose recordmydesktop to capture KDE desktop because the video result is bad[1] when capturing the desktop if KWin Compositing is enabled. The video will be good enough if this feature is disabled[2]. I'm using KDE SC 4.5 Beta2 on openSUSE 11.2 (fglrx), I also test it on openSUSE 11.3 M#7 with radeonhd driver but the result is not better than the previous one (11.2). Is it about my poor video adapter[3] or the driver[4] itself? Thanks in advance.
