[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] (EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed (libdri too old)

For/from functional running KDE on :0 xorg.conf http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/xorg.conf.09-112-x600-1600x1200x120x24bpp Xorg.0.log http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/xorg.0.log-112-big31 I'm trying to use a different X configuration on :1 like I do now in 11.0, starting with a sole difference from :0 of adding panning, but get the subject message after tty4 login another user with $XORGCONFIG=xorg.tst2000 then 'startx -- :1': xorg.tst2000 http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/xorg.tst2000-112-big31-x600 Xorg.1.log http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/xorg.1.log-112-big31 Is the subject message a red herring? Do I _need_ to put randr command(s) somewhere (where?; as opposed to using xorg.tst2000) to get panning added (or a different startup resolution) on a :1 session? I got what I want working in 11.3 using only randr instead of xorg.tst2000, but for reasons other than X11 11.3 is not an acceptable replacement here for 11.0. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

You have absolutely no justification for saying that - if I want or need the display ON all the while that the machine is on then that is my business. I should be able to chose that. It shouldn't be necessary to hack around in a system-wide config file, or add entries to login scripts - a simple "disable DPMS" or eqivalent in a Power Management settings dialog is all that is required (assuming it does what it says on the tickbox and remembers the setting between logins.

[opensuse-xorg] panning pre- and post-randr 1.3
by Felix Miata 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

In openSUSE 11.0's server 1.4.0.90 and (reported) randr 1.2, my radeon rv380 has the (virtual desktop area) panning I need by setting in xorg.conf's device section 'Option "NoRandr"'. In openSUSE 11.1's server 1.5.2 & randr 1.2, 'Option "NoRandr"' is apparently invalid or ignored, even with Intel [815,845,G33] instead of Radeon (rv200 or rv380). With openSUSE's server 1.6.5 & (x)randr 1.3.2, supposedly panning is available, but the virtual lines in xorg.conf's screen sections must not any more valid to enable it. 1-(on rv200 radeon, as does rv380 on openSUSE 11.3's 1.8.0/1.3.2, both using radeon drivers) 'xrandr --panning 1920x1200' from Konsole just produces a usage message. From reading the man page, nothing more seems required. What am I missing? 2-How/where, prior to X startup, is randr --panning(?) supposed to be triggered and remembered? 3-If it is possible to pan in 11.1's 1.5.2/1.2 on radeon[rv200,rv380], how is it to be configured? The main reason for this is web page development. I use one CRT, and run different resolutions on multiple simultaneous X instances (:0, :1, :2, :n). Without panning, emulating widescreen modes isn't doable. I've been happy with openSUSE 11.0, but it's due out of support in a matter of days. So, I need to find something I can upgrade to that works as I need it to. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-xorg] Manually configure screen resolution
by Dylan 17 Jul '10

17 Jul '10

Hi I have just installed 11.3 and am having a problem with the graphics resolution. My screen is actually a TV which does not report its characteristics (1280x720@60Hz). X automatically configures itself to 768x576@50Hz and the screen scales this in such a way as to shift the top, bottom and left side off the physical screen. The installation is fine when attached to a 'normal' monitor (X correctly autoconfigures 1024x768@60Hz). The TV screen functions correctly under 11.2. I tried copy the relevant lines from my old, functional xorg.conf into the new one - but there is no xorg.conf and the use of the files in xorg.conf.d is opaque without adequate documentation. I tried running sax2 to create a xorg.conf file, only to discover that the utility doesn't seem to exist any more. Can anyone tell me how to manually configure X for the required resolution - what information needs to go into which files now there's no central xorg.conf?

[opensuse-xorg] .xinitrc crashes server
by Felix Miata 17 Jul '10

I have no idea whether this is better here or on factory list, but FYI since it isn't specific to openSUSE I filed upstream: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29126 It appears likely this will prevent me from "upgrading" to anything newer than 11.0 until 29126 gets fixed or a workaround. Workaround suggestions welcome. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
