ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY and modprobe
Hi, I've installed the preview version of X 4.2. But I also have the problem of X stopping with a black screen. When I logged into my laptop from another machine I found out that it was modprobe that tried to do: '/sbin/modprobe -s -k -- char-major-10-134' When I killed this process X continued and started up just fine. Browsing the web made me suspect that it has to do with apm (the kernel has some problems with ACPI). I'm running kernel-image-2.4.18-686 on a Dell Latitude 510C. lsmod gives the following output: Module Size Used byNot tainted radeon 86456 0 i8k 4576 0 (unused) 3c59x 24936 1 i810_audio 19968 0 (unused) soundcore 3556 2 [i810_audio] ac97_codec 9376 0 [i810_audio] af_packet 11432 1 rtc 5368 0 (autoclean) unix 13316 26 (autoclean) ide-disk6592 2 (autoclean) ide-probe-mod 7968 0 (autoclean) ide-mod 129420 2 (autoclean) [ide-disk ide-probe-mod] ext2 30400 0 (autoclean) (unused) ext3 56544 1 (autoclean) jbd34968 1 (autoclean) [ext3] Here is the XF86Config-4: ### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION # XF86Config-4 (XFree86 server configuration file) generated by dexconf, the # Debian X Configuration tool, using values from the debconf database. # # Edit this file with caution, and see the XF86Config-4 manual page. # (Type "man XF86Config-4" at the shell prompt.) # # If you want your changes to this file preserved by dexconf, only make changes # before the "### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION" line above, and/or after the # "### END DEBCONF SECTION" line below. # # To change things within the debconf section, run the command: # dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 # as root.

Indeed, major 10 minor 134 is /dev/apm_bios. The X server opens that to be able to react to APM events. If you can't get APM working in the kernel, a workaround would be to remove /dev/apm_bios. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

4.2.0pre1v1 debs, dri support, intel i810
Hello everyone. We're trying to use your pre1v1 debs here at lindows, and our qa dept found that the intel i810 card is not accelerated for 3d. I found in /var/log/XFree86.0.log that the i810 X module wanted version 1.2.0 of the i810 kernel module, and I found the kernel patch on xfree86.org for the kernel modules. Unfortunately, after upgrading the kernel drm modules to 1.2.0, 3d acceleration still didn't work. Using LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose I found that the dri module is version 1.1.0. I'm not sure if its version needs to be the same as the drm module, but if so, there's no obvious error reported. I just wanted to ask if there's a reason that the 4.2.0 pre1v1 debs weren't compiled against the updated 1.2.0 kernel modules? Do you think it will work without them? Did you try using them and they didn't work? We're using a 2.4.18 kernel and xlibmesa3 is installed. Also, is anyone using an intel i810 with dri support successfully? I'm using a radeon on my laptop, and the dri seems to work fine there. Is anyone using any cards with dri acceleration with the new 4.2.0 debs? Any light you could shed on the sitatuion would be great, as I'm trying to make it work on my end, so maybe I can help you make the package better. Also, I tried to get our qa dept to contact debian-x or debian-testing in order to offer their qa results to you guys, if they're of use, but I don't think they got around to it. Would you be interested in our qa results? thanks for your time michael -- michael cardenas lead software engineer lindows.com . hyperpoem.net .

X not resyncing
Recently upgraded 2 Debian boxes to stable/woody. Both are identical machines, both have Trident CyberBlade video built on the mobo. X upgraded and runs great on both machines, but if while in an X session you ctrl-alt-F? to a console, then come back to X, the monitor loses sync. Doing an ctrl-alt-backspace instantly restores sync and restarts the Xserver and seems to be the only way to get X back talking to the monitor. Not a show stopper, but a hassel having to remember to log off X, or at least not have anything critical open, before going to a console, as kick starting the server seems to be the only way back in. Any suggestions appreciated!

DRI on XFree86 4.x with ATI Rage Mobility
Hello, I have a Dell Inspiron 8000 with an ATI Rage Mobility M4 AGP video card. I run a sid installation with X 4.1.0-17 on it. I just installed the dri.sf.net modules (and also their X server after many unfortunater try with debian one). I use a 2.4.18 kernel with agp and r128 support. agpgart and r128 modules are loaded. I modified my XF86Config-4 in order to load dri and glx modules. Once my X has started DRI stays disabled. I have tried a lot of stuff but nothing seems to enable DRI. I am lost and did not find any help nor on the web nor on the different mailing lists archives or howto. It seems XFree86-DRI extensions is not loaded. Does anybody have any idea on how to do in order to have DRI enabled (so that I may play tuxracer :-) ? -- -- Bruno

ATI Rage Mobility is not r128 (Rage128) variant. It is mach64 (Mac64, Rage) variant. So, we can not use r128 dri modules for Rage Mobility.

The 4.2.0-0pre1v1 packages solved it for me. (xserver-xfree86, etc, basically I upgraded all the dependencies of x-window-system-core) -- Thatcher Ulrich http://tulrich.com
