[opensuse-xorg] i845G - anyone have intel driver working in Factory?
I have two systems with RC1 and this video chip, one with an Dell BIOS, for which I filed https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=671140 . The other has an Intel BIOS. Unlike the other, it loads the Intel driver, but KDM/KDE only partly work. Regardless whether I use an xorg.conf or not, KDM & startx give little more than black screens. .xsession-errors excerpts: (EE) intel(0): Detected a hung GPU, disabling acceleration (EE) intel(0): failed to set cursor: Input/output error (EE) intel(0): [DRI2] DRI2SwapBuffers: drawable has no back or front? = GDB Backtrace = ==================== Backtrace ================ Thread 1 (Thread 0xb72a26c0 (LWP 2561)): #0 0xffffe424 in __kernel_vsyscall () #1 0xb74008f3 in __waitpid_nocancel () from /lib/libc.so.6 #2 0x080ee84c in xorg_backtrace () #3 0x080a2aaa in ??

Hallo, Felix, what about an xorg.conf with a minimum configuration, i.e. disable all extensions: Section "Module" Disable "glx" Disable "dri" Disable "dri2" Disable "dbe" Disable "record" Disable "extmod" EndSection ... and then limit the display to moderate resolutions: Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection It is unlikely that the problem is monitor related, but maybe you also put in Section "Device": Option "DDC" off (But then you have to provide HorizSync and VertRefresh values in the "Monitor" section.) If this works, you can step by step find out which setting kills your GPU.

I've been in the habit of doing this since the DDC quit on these old P991 Trinitrons.

Very much helped. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=671140 has the details. I had actually tried to disable DRI2 before OP, but went about it wrong. -- "How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver."

I have an 855GM which also is not working on a newer nstall (in my case a Debian). I think your chipset has the same issues since the 845gm and the 855gm are often mentioned together. There are several reports on the net that is has something to do with KMS (Kernel Mode Setting) (whatever that is), e.g. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=522551 or http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Intel_Extreme_Graphics_2 Bad news I know Stefan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-xorg+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-xorg+help@opensuse.org
