[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.

Sounds similar to Bug #546076. Workaround for now would be to use fbdev driver ("sax2 -a -r -m 0=fbdev"). Or try latest X packages from our buildservice (X11:XOrg) + Kernel 2.6.32 (KOTD=kernel of the day), which includes latest available intel driver using KMS (kernel mode setting). Not sure whether this helps though. Best regards, Stefan Public Key available ------------------------------------------------------ Stefan Dirsch (Res. & Dev.)

Hello, I have a newly installed opensuse 11.2 x86_64. I installed the nvidia-gfx02-kmp-desktop package after installing the system. Otherwise I did not install anything special. If I use the nv module, X displays ok, but with a lower resolution. Though I set the resolution to 1600x1200 using sax2, nv tell, that it cannot switch to a resolution higher than the one set in BIOS. Does anybody know, how to get either the nvidia driver running or how to either tell BIOS to use a higher resolution or to tell nv to ignore BIOS resolution?

You are better getting the drivers direct from NVidia. I'm currently using the 190-42 version. The downloaded file is called NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.42-pkg2.run. This works fine on my Fujitsu Amilo Xi 3670 laptop, including HDMI out at full 1080p resolution. Paul On 14/12/09 18:22, Dieter.Woerz@t-systems.com wrote:

This is exactly the version what is provided as RPM. So this won't help. You file a bugreport via linux-bugs@nvidia.com.

Most likely you're using the DVI output which is limited to the resolutions provided by the BIOS of the graphics card when using the nv driver.

You can't. :-( Best regards, Stefan Public Key available ------------------------------------------------------ Stefan Dirsch (Res. & Dev.)

Hello, I still have the problem, that running the nvidia drivers crashes my system completely, so I can only do press the reset button. Not even the Num- or Shift-key are changing their LEDs any more. I have this problem quite some time now, so I don't even remember, when it started. Some days ago I once again installed the latest driver (nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-desktop 256.53_2.6.31.5_0.1-15.1, x86_64) for my a Gigabyte GeForce 6600 (Gigabyte) on an Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHz currently running OpenSuSE Linux 2.6.31.14-0.2-default, but it still shows this behavior: launch X with the nvidia driver and the system stops. After reboot, there is nothing at all in the logs, that could help in analyzing the problem. I have no problem with the nv driver, but this one does not give me the full resolution of my display, only 1280x1024 instead of 1600x1200, that I 'd like to use. Does anybody have any idea, what I could try?

Hi Stefan, thanks for your response. In deed there are a lot of similar bug reports about the integrated Intel 8xx graphic chips, see e.g. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24789 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/4478... I have tried the fbdev driver, and that seems to work (of course no proper video playback). There are also some reports about "acpi=off", which should "fix" the freeze problem. But with "acpi=off" my system becomes very slow and unusable. Another suggested workaround was just "pci=noacpi". I have tried that with the intel driver and the X11 system was still running after 30 minutes, but I need to test for longer periods to be sure. Hopefully the Intel driver guys will fix that issue soon, but I doubt that a bit, since these issues are lasting so long now. The hardware is quite outdated, even though a lot of people still run 8xx graphics (Notebooks, Barebones). BTW: The Ubuntu guys have also these problems with KMS enabled. They suggest to disable KMS with "nomodeset". So, using KMS with a never kernel might not be the solution. It seems that a fallback to older kernels is the best. Cheers Ralf this
helps though.
