| tseliot | jbarnes: any ideas on what's happening here? (bug #431812) | 15:27 |
|---|---|---|
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 431812 in sysvinit "fbcon loading a mystery (screen powers off)" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/431812 | 15:27 |
| tseliot | AFAIK fbcon is loaded when checking for KMS in the -intel driver | 15:27 |
| mac_v | tseliot: Bug 397839 is not fixed even after applying the fixes Richard mentions in his blog... :( any ideas? | 15:30 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 397839 in xorg-server "Screen randomly goes off in karmic" [Critical,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/397839 | 15:30 |
| mac_v | this is in an ATI X1400 | 15:31 |
| tseliot | let me check | 15:31 |
| mac_v | see my last comment... gpm does not give any output , and i'm not sure how to debug it! :( | 15:31 |
| mac_v | it seems to happen much rare than it used to , but still is a problem and the notification area keeps displaying the session is active icon | 15:33 |
| tseliot | mac_v: it might be worth notifying hughsie about the problem | 15:38 |
| mac_v | in the blog? ... yeah, i was thinking about it , but wanted to add a comment after i had some debug info | 15:39 |
| tseliot | mac_v: or on irc.gnome.org (in #gnome-hackers) | 15:39 |
| mac_v | hmm... ok , so if i mention the lp bug , they would have a look? [just asking , since i'm not sure how upstream irc guys ask for stuff ] ;) | 15:43 |
| tseliot | mac_v: yes, if the report contains information which can help upstream | 15:55 |
| tseliot | (in general) | 15:55 |
| mac_v | ah ok , thanks | 15:55 |
| jbarnes | tseliot: yeah sounds like you need to load i915 and fbcon in your initrd instead | 16:16 |
| tseliot | jbarnes: ah, right, let me try | 16:19 |
| tseliot | jbarnes: I added i915 and fbcon to initramfs, rebuilt the initrd but I can still reproduce the problem | 16:37 |
| jbarnes | what kernel commit are you at? | 16:40 |
| tseliot | apw: ^^ | 16:40 |
| tseliot | jbarnes: in the meantime I have noticed that I get a few errors when fbcon and i915 are in the initramfs: http://paste.ubuntu.com/273572 | 16:59 |
| jbarnes | tseliot: yeah that looks like a pretty broken config... X isn't even detecting drm | 17:02 |
| jbarnes | loading those modules early shouldn't cause that though | 17:02 |
| tseliot | jbarnes: but this means that the device wasn't even created (in time?) [drm] Failed to open DRM device for : No such file or directory | 17:03 |
| jbarnes | yeah something bad happened | 17:03 |
| jbarnes | if /dev/dri doesn't exist that would explain it | 17:04 |
| tseliot | 3d acceleration was broken | 17:04 |
| tseliot | so it could be | 17:05 |
| tseliot | let me check | 17:05 |
| tseliot | jbarnes: /dev/dri doesn't exist | 17:08 |
| tseliot | jbarnes: also, if I pass i915.modeset=1 grub complains that it's an unknown option | 17:12 |
| tseliot | i915.modeset:1 that is | 17:12 |
| jbarnes | sounds like some funkiness with your initrd | 17:12 |
| jbarnes | udev will create the nodes after drm/i915 load | 17:12 |
| jbarnes | or it should | 17:13 |
| jbarnes | so either i915 isn't loading or udev is failing somehow | 17:13 |
| albert23 | tseliot: shouldn't drm be in initrd as well? i915 depends on it. | 17:13 |
| tseliot | albert23: I tried putting the dependencies in the initrd too | 17:13 |
| tseliot | loading only fbcon in the initrd seems to give me KMS back :-) | 17:15 |
| === hal_line_ is now known as halfline | ||
| jcristau | the 'unknown option i915.modeset' is expected, when i915 isn't builtin | 19:56 |
| Q-FUNK | would anyone have any idea of what could cause bug #429277 ? I would have tought that this is a gnome-settings-daemon issue again, but seb128 claims that this was fixed already. | 20:04 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 429277 in xserver-xorg-input-mouse "left-handed mouse no longer working" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/429277 | 20:04 |
| jcristau | so you filed a bug against a driver that you're not using instead. nice. | 20:06 |
| Q-FUNK | excuse-me? | 20:06 |
| jcristau | you're not using xserver-xorg-input-mouse | 20:06 |
| Q-FUNK | ah? | 20:07 |
| jcristau | … | 20:07 |
| Q-FUNK | so what driver does a mouse use these days? | 20:08 |
| Q-FUNK | is -mouse used at all, even? | 20:08 |
| Q-FUNK | or does it all goe through that new unified input device driver? | 20:10 |
| albert23 | Q-FUNK: -evdev is normally used | 20:10 |
| Q-FUNK | albert23: interesting. so why is -mouse still shipped then? does it still have some limitted usage cases? | 20:10 |
| albert23 | Q-FUNK: I think -vmmouse still needs -mouse | 20:11 |
| Q-FUNK | sorry if I'm not up-to-date on general X server issues, in this case, on the input modules. | 20:11 |
