Xorg 7.5

[jur]

I get

Code: [Select]

render error detected, EIR: 0x00000010
page table error
  PGTBL_ER:0x00000001
[drm:i915_handle_error] *ERROR* EIR stuck: 0x00000010, masking
render error detected, EIR: 0x00000010
page table error
  PGTBL_ER:0x00000001

But mu power button still works, I can press it and it will shut down, I don't hve to hold it in for 5s. Ctrl-alt-bksp or ctroil-alt-del don't work, so I don't know if the power button activates some bios command, or my acpid files.

This bug has been found and fixed in other distros. Apperently it is not distro-related; it is a pre-i965 issue. See

No, I doubt it's that; that commit was merged to the kernel in 2.6.33-rc8...

I did some more googling with "[drm:i915_handle_error] suspend resume" and the boards are fairly buzzing with this bug. Very recent activity.

And many many others.

It seems centered around kernel 2.6.32 - 2.6.34 and the i915 drivers.

Apologies - with all the pages I scanned I managed to stuff up.  This is the one:

I have found a way to save anything needed to debug this. Ask and ye shall receive.

Attched is my machine's dmesg. The GPU fun is right near the bottom.

[jur]

Well. This is not Xorg-7.5 related - I just tested suspend-resume with Xvesa and although dmesg looks different, it also seems to crash the GPU. I don't know how I got a different result last time - with the transition to 3.x, I must have gotten confused about which kernel was involved.

So the bottom line is, suspend-resume no longer works with 2.6.33.3-tinycore. This stuff could be moved to its own kernel bug thread, I suppose?

[Juanito]

suspend/resume works for me in  tc-3.x with Xvesa, but not Xorg-7.5

In tc-2.x suspend/resume works with both Xvesa and Xorg-7.4

..all on the same machine.

Did /usr/local/lib/X11/modules/extensions/librecord.so compile with Xorg-7.5?

[curaga]

I don't think I changed anything wrt record, so since it's not there, I assume it defaults to off.

edit: confirmed,

  --enable-record         Build Record extension (default: disabled)

I've found the bug. When you remove waitforX from your .xsession, everything, including suspend works fine

[hiro]

But not only intel produces bugs here with the new KMS.
When starting Xorg for the first time you will only get a KMS vt, but no fully functional X session. So, you either have to kill and restart Xorg, or "modprobe radeon modeset=1" manually at the top of .xinitrc.

[gerald_clark]

Why not put the modprobe in bootlocal.sh ?

[hiro]

I'm not sure. From where and when exactly does startx get called at startup?

[tinypoodle]

end of ~/.profile ?
