cjwatsonioctl(5, FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO, 0x7fffe749a670) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory)06:39
cjwatsonAny idea why that might be happening? I've been tracing through the fb_ioctl code path and can't find anywhere that could return ENOMEM06:40
cjwatsonFWIW the fb backend in use is vga16fb06:40
mjg59cjwatson: I suspect the check_var function06:44
cjwatsonoh, hmm, I was looking at upstream source rather than ours06:44
cjwatsonmjg59: yeah, upstream check_var doesn't seem to ever return ENOMEM, but ours can06:44
mjg59Hm. I'm sure I didn't write that.06:44
cjwatsonlooks like making sure xres_virtual == xres and yres_virtual == yres would fix it06:45
mjg59What are you actually trying to do?06:45
cjwatsonfix a usplash crash06:46
mjg59Ah06:46
mjg59Though we don't use vga16 for anything usplashy now06:46
cjwatsonwe still do on amd6406:48
cjwatsonand yes, I know I'm getting rid of that06:48
cjwatsonbut I'm trying to fix everything I come across before I make it go away06:48
mjg59Heh. Ok.06:48
cjwatsonin case it bites us sometime in the future06:48
Keybukrandom question; do people run i386 or amd64 on Core 2?06:49
mjg59I run amd6406:50
mjg59I know some people run i38606:50
cjwatsonhmm, no, that doesn't fix it06:50
cjwatsonI guess vga16fb just can't do big resolutions06:50
cjwatsonwhich would make a certain amount of sense06:50
mjg59cjwatson: That check is upstream06:50
mjg59What codebase are you looking at?06:50
cjwatsonoh, my linux-2.6.git is out of date then06:50
mjg59And yeah, vga16fb can't do anything other than 640x400/640x48006:50
mjg59You can conceivably force it into lower resolutions, but certainly not really anything higher06:51
cjwatsonthe maxmem it sets is a heck of a lot smaller than that06:51
cjwatsonit's at most 65536, and requires xres * yres < maxmem06:51
mjg59In 16 colours only06:51
cjwatson<=06:52
cjwatson256 too, in the tree I've got ...06:52
mjg59No, that doesn't work06:52
mjg59Not in any sane way, anyway06:52
cjwatsonok, but I mean the check would apply to that if it worked06:52
mjg59I don't think we've ever expected modesetting to work with vga16fb06:52
mjg59But it comes up in 640x480x1606:53
cjwatsonmaybe usplash should behave more gracefully if it can't do the mode-set06:53
mjg59I thought it was supposed to handle that already?06:53
mjg59That's why it returns the mode it set, rather than just assuming it got hte right one06:54
cjwatsonthis is probably code I added06:54
cjwatsonit worked better elsewhere :-/06:54
cjwatsonI think it was part of teaching the bogl backend how to set resolution06:55
mjg59Ah06:55
mjg59Right06:55
cjwatsonI didn't realise that that would fail on some fb backends06:55
mjg59Well, vesafb is an obvious example06:56
mjg59You can't set modes at all06:56

fabbioneBenC: i will give you GFS1 sometimes next week09:04
fabbioneso i can test both of them properly09:04
fabbionebe aware tho that GFS2 is getting tons of bug fixes because they are in a hurry to release with RHEL 509:05
fabbioneso we might have to pull from them again09:05
