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.

Any ideas ?

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.

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.

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.

Thank you - that's just what I was looking for!

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?
Thanks
Dylan

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.
