Bug#422777: xserver-xorg: MergedFB CRT2 Clone stopped working after reboot

[Felix C. Stegerman]

Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.2-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

When I rebooted my laptop (Apple iBook G4) this morning, the second
screen remained blank.  The Xorg.0.log config file shows "No valid
mode found for CRTC2, disabling MergedFB".   I haven't changed my
xorg.conf since 2006-11-21, so I'm pretty sure it's related to a
recent Xorg update.  I can't be sure which one since I may have
updated Xorg more than once between reboots (and rarely restart X
other than on reboot).  I am however quite sure I haven't installed,
removed or reconfigured Xorg packages recently other than during
aptitude upgrades or aptitude dist-upgrades.  Also, I rebooted
sometime in the last two weeks without problems, so it must be a
problem with a recent Xorg update.  [yes, I aptitude up{date,grade}
more or less weekly]

I hope someone can help me out here, since I have no idea whatsoever
how to fix this (other than attempting some Xorg downgrades, but
that's hardly "fixing").  If there's anything I can do myself (that
doesn't involve intimate knowledge of Xorg internals), please let me
know.


- Felix

Sarge's XFree 4.3 with Matrox closed driver (HALlib) is working fine
here.  Well, not entirely, I still had to work around things with an
incredible configuration hack... :-(

With some more horrible hacking, it seems to be possible to make Matrox'
Hallib, and thus DVI, work with later X.org versions, too, see [1]. 
But actually, the unbelievable hassle of those procedures has stopped me
from upgrading my desktop to Etch till now.

Hm, this website currently seems to be down. That's bad, I hope it will
recover!

Some similar breakage have been reported with the old ATI driver and the
new xserver-xorg-core 1.3. You could possibly try upgrading
xserver-xorg-video-ati to the one currently in experimental
(1:6.6.191-1). However, in the end it might be better to wait for the
next official release of the ATI driver before upgrading to
xserver-xorg-core 1.3.

It might be related to the intel driver (xserver-xorg-video-intel)
instead of the server core, it might be good to check by downgrading to
the old xserver-xorg-video-i810.

There has been another report about backlight problems with the intel
driver after resume from suspend. Not exactly your problem, but still
similar. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=420400

Xorg.0.log might have helped too. reportbug should have included it for
you (by attaching the output of /usr/share/bug/xserver-xorg-core/script
3>&1).

Ok it might be the expected behavior then. Most driver only support DRI
on the first X server on a board.

Bug#372067: xserver-xorg-video-mga: Please explicitly say in the package description and man page what the driver is capable of

[t takahashi]

as of recently, it was not clear to a non-x-expert even with
nontrivial google searching:

whether the open source driver is sufficient for simple 2d dvi use
with magic settings -- or not

whether the tuxx driver is nec or sufficient -- or has issues

how to best vet the tuxx driver for security (the author seems like a
great guy, btw)

whether the ubuntu .deb will work on etch (how to check its signature
from etch is probably easy but requires work to find out how)

whether feisty would work

how likely any of the above are to break upon an upgrade of x (or libraries)

Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.0.3-4
Severity: grave

My setup is such that gdm manages 2 local displays (:0 and :1, no DRI).
My working session is on :1 on vt11, and there is a gdmlogin waiting
on :0 on vt12.

After switching from vt12 to vt1 to launch some swap-intensive apt-get
upgrade, switching back to vt11 only gave me a black screen.  Trying
to switch from there to vt12, then to various other VTs gave nothing.

Remotely login in, I see that the XFree86 *on vt12* takes about 96%
CPU.  Attaching with gdb I see:

Various interruptions of the process all yielded the same backtrace.

Process was not reponsive to SIGTERM or SIGINT, SIGKILL did its job,
but things were not restored.

I had alreay experienced a nearly similar situation, where IIRC at the
black screen I had 1st switched to a text console, then to one of the
2 X displays, then back and forth to other VTs in some order I can't
remember, and things were in order again.

Bug#372079: DVI on G550, some bad news, some good news

[Brice Goglin]

>From upstream IRC channel:

me: Is the DVI output supposed to work on a MGA G550? We've got multiple
complaints that it never worked (apparently the driver sends
out-of-range frequencies).
=> I believe it requires mga_hal
me: That's what these users are doing, yes
=> There's a workaround, enable matroxfb. If your dfp goes black when
you start X, shut it off and on manually
me: Is there a chance it gets fixed one day?
=> I've got DVI support in the randr-1.2 branch, but it's not in a
releasable state yet
me: No need to report then, just wait
=> yes

So, you might want to try enabling matroxfb in your kernel and console.

FYI, XRandR 1.2 is new shiny feature that driver developers are
implementing these days, it makes management of multiple heads much
easier and better. So, there might be good news in the future.

Please read your own old bug reports before requesting things that you
already requested. You already reported this missing file about XFree86
in #222932, and I replied a couple months ago that it was still the case
in Xorg and this example file had been added by upstream recently. So it
might be available in our package in the future.

Thanks,
Brice

It would be good to test with xserver-xorg-core 1.3 currently in unstable.

I wonder what this NVIDIA thing is doing here. Did you have nvidia
binary drivers installed in this machine? They might not be completely
uninstalled then. Please check.

If xrandr rotation even supposed to be supported on the s3virge driver?
I would say no.

Looks like you really had nVidia binary driver on this machine before :)

RandRRotation looks like an nVidia option.

Does it work if you set 1024x768 instead of 768x1024?
Does Rotate CW work instead of CCW?

Bug#372079: DVI on G550, some bad news, some good news

Interesting.  Matroxfb *is* enabled in my kernel.  But no chance to use 
DVI without the binary Hallib.  It's still a 2.4.27 kernel, though.  And
I did experience that blank screen from time to time (not predictable),
and powering the panel off did help indeed, but it was very annoying.
Finally I was able to workaround that by configuring a second fake
screen, IIRC.

Great to hear someone's working on it!  So there's hope. :-)

I'll probably try Linux 2.6.18 with matroxfb after upgrading to Etch.

And thanks for that explanation!  I had heard about it, but nothing
stuck besides the buzzword. 
Brice, I'm really impressed by your bug hunting!

Indeed it seems that at least the man page is vague here.

Well, the tuxx driver is sort of a gray area, isn't it?  I guess no
authority besides the author himself cares about that driver, and the
users are probably just happy to see it working again, someway.

Package: xserver-xorg-video-nv
Version: 1:1.0.1.5-1
Severity: important
Tags: experimental

I tried to install xorg 7.0 and x-window-system. got everything except
xfont-scalable. Had to find/append entries for new font location to fix
'fixed' not found error. After gdm comes up, using regular gnome session
login, the mouse moves, but after waiting more than 10 minutes, and
watching the gnome splash screen, it does not go to regular gnome window
with gnome-panel. I did get in to minimal xsession, but then could
launch twm or metacity. Twm worked, but there were color/term problems.
When I used aptitude or mutt in an xterm, the screen was black. If I
used 'TERM=VT100 mutt'. I could use, but with b/w color.
Hope to see xorg 7.0 in sid!
this is your mission if you choose to accept it this message will

I think it's a good idea to close it. It's so old that it's likely
fixed, and if not, a new bug with fresh information can be re-opened.

Bug#396993: xserver-xorg-video-nv: Xserver crashes machine completely

[Brice Goglin]

Hi,

Several months ago, you reported a bug to the Debian BTS regarding a
crash of the X server with the nv driver. Did you reproduce this problem
recently? With the latest xserver-xorg-core 1.3 and
xserver-xorg-video-nv 2.0.2 from unstable? I don't see any backtrace in
your logs, there should be one in the server is crashing.

Thanks,
Brice

Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.1.0-16
Severity: important

I was previously using nvidia's proprietary driver. I switched back to
the nv driver and found that my mouse cursor now looks like two tiny red
pointers/I-bars/whatever. Looks very strange.

Hi,

About 3 years ago, you reported a bug to the Debian BTS regarding mode
1600x1200 looking pixellated on a Quadro FX 1100. Did you reproduce this
problem recently? With Xorg/Etch? If not, I will close this bug in the
next weeks.

[Brice Goglin]

Hi Sebastian,

You reported a couple months ago that this lockup of the machine when
running the nv driver on a Geforce 2 MX board was still happening with
Xorg. Could you try with the latest xserver-xorg-core 1.3 and
xserver-xorg-video-nv 2.0.2 currently in unstable? If it still happen,
we should report this problem upstream.

Package: xserver-xorg-video-nv
Version: 1:1.0.1.5-2
Severity: normal



XV output is extremely slow when using the "nv" driver.
When playing a video with xine or vlc using xv output the Xorg
process uses a large amount of CPU.  With videos larger than about
640x480 it hits 100% CPU (2GHz amd64) and output becomes choppy.
CPU use seems to be proprtional to the size of the source image,
not the size of the displayed overlay.

Other graphical operations also seem equally slow, but the painfully slow
xv is the one that effects me most.  The xine xshm ouptut driver is
even slower.

Same behavior observed with and without Xen. Also same problems with
a 32-bit userspace + 64-bit kernel.

Running 32-bit x86 kernel+userspace also works ok, 64-bit kernel seems to
be the common factor in the slowness.

I tried the new module with old config with just changing the device to
/dev/input/event5 (which is the file which is linked by
/dev/input/psmouse), buttons got swapped too, X log was the same.

Perhaps there is a configuration which would work. I have quite strange
mouse, two normal buttons, one extra button, one wheel-button.

The extra button has number 6 (in xev output) with both modules. With
the old version, wheel button (middle) is 2 and right is 3, and with the
new version, wheel is 3 and right is 2.

In input-events output, the extra button is named BTN_SIDE.

Brice,

Im using the Etch Stable release now on x86 hardware with the NVidia card,
it seems to be ok... sometimes I get dramatic pauses in Icedove, but
im not sure what app is responsible for that & havent had a chance to 
profile it.


I dont use unstable.

Thanks for asking... I hope you find some good testers for this.

Thank you for your contributions to Open Source in general and debian in 
particular!

i can try the same by setting the right things and installing etch on

even know:

which kernel option is relevant,
what enabling in the console means,
whether anything would be required in the x conf file,
what a framebuffer is exactly,
and even what "dfp" means.  (i guess "digital flat panel".)

icih, the last time i tried fixing this was a while back, but it was
probably a 2.6 kernel.  here is my current kernel.

p.s. if "millenium" is the right option, is it a typo for "millennium"

Bug#422936: CVE-2007-2437: Xrender extension allows remote DoS

[Micah Anderson]

Package: xorg-server
Severity: important


Hi,

CVE-2007-2437 came out recently, and its description reads:

The X render (Xrender) extension in X.org X Window System 7.0, 7.1,
and 7.2, with Xserver 1.3.0 and earlier, allows remote authenticated
users to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via crafted values
to the (1) XRenderCompositeTrapezoids and (2) XRenderAddTraps
functions, which trigger a divide-by-zero error.

More information can be found here:
http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/33976
http://www.rapid7.com/advisories/R7-0027.jsp
http://www.securitytracker.com/id?1017984

According to the information referenced there the solution is to
"Upgrade to the latest version of X.Org Server (7.2 with Xserver 1.3.1
or later), available from the X.Org Foundation Web site"

Please include the CVE reference in any changelogs that reference this
issue.

Thanks!
Micah

I didn't look at it, I don't have any MGA board. The MGA driver you were
using at this time has changed a lot compared to the one in unstable
nowadays, so I hoped it would have been fixed in the meantime.

I don't see any report with your symptoms on bugzilla.freedesktop.org.
[1] reports problems on the second head, but does not seem to have any
problem with the first head. We might want to open a new bug report
there then.

Hmm, having trouble remembering it.  I recall there was a black X in the
middle of the screen that was pretty persistent.  A lot of googling
eventually led me to a way to get rid of it, which I no longer remember
:(.  The machine is now Etch/Xorg, so I can no longer test for this
problem.  With Sarge/X11 going to bit heaven, it's probably time to
close this bug.

We run Ubuntu LTS now rather than Debian so I cannot test. (unless you'd
like to have me try anyways) In the future I'll probably file any X bugs
into the upstream (freedesktop.org) bug database.

Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-5
Severity: normal

On an IBM IntelliStation A Pro running debian-amd64 with a 20" LCD IBM
L200P, X comes up very pixelated at 1600x1200. When I use xrandr to
choose a lesser resolution, the picture becomes clear, but the display
only uses a fraction of the monitor's screen. I will attach photographs
of 1600x1200 and 1400x1050 to illustrate. I apologize in advance if the
photos are too big.

When using the vesa driver, the maximum resolution is 1280x1024 which
uses the entire monitor's screen, but the picture is not clear as if it
is not the native resolution. (Which for this 20" monitor, I believe it
isn't.)

When I used an analog cable with a DVI adapter, I couldn't get X to
display properly at all, though I only went this route to see if the
cable would solve it. (Sometimes using an analog cable produces better
results than the DVI.)

lspci:
:09:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 034e 
(rev a1)

Also, I did try upgrading to 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6, but that did not solve the
problem. I downgraded for now due to local site reasons.

Kernel panic and Oops only with i810 driver

[Mario Lopez]

It happens only with x86_64 / AMD64 port, before I was using x86 port
and all work fine,
I have an EMT64 capable processor and runs debian great, all services works fine
except xserver-xorg with driver i810, let me say that the error is just when

unloading X...
Using i810 driver I can use the Render, 3D accel,Composite Extension,
Compiz etc but always when Shuts down the Computer I get a balnk
screen with a Kernel
Panic, I think to set the driver to VESA and works and shutdown
without problems but haven´t DRI, 3D Accel,Composite etc.


My Hardware is:

- Celeron D 3.6 GHz EMT64
- ASRock 775i65G
- Intel(r) 865G Chipset
- Integrated Intel(r) Extreme Graphics 2 (intel 82865G Graphics)


The error screen message wite some like:

CODE**
[] thread_return+0x0/0xe7
[] vsf_write+0xe1/0x174
[] sys_write+0x45/0x6e
[] system_call+0x7e/0x83

Package: xserver-xorg-video-nv
Version: 1.2.0-3
Severity: normal

Typically when I go to bed I close my laptop CRT screen.  Sometimes when
I wake up I open it to find that the screen is garbled; the left side is
blank, and the right side shows some unusable colors...  Some
combination of c+a+f1, fn+f7 ("font change"), fn+f8 ("crt/lcd switch")
usually fixes it.  The one case I can remember where it didn't fix it, I
don't think I used fn+f8.  This could also be a kernel problem, I guess
I'll test by switching to a VT at night for a week.

Hello,

Yes; I discovered that it has to do with power saving.  I recall that if
I used something like xset, I could trigger the problem on demand.  Now
(after upgrading and then downgrading), I can't reproduce it even in the
old version.

Let's consider it closed.

Even if the X server might be doing bad things leading to this
panic/oops, a kernel panic or a oops is definitely a kernel problem in
the beginning. I suggest you try with another kernel, either older (to
see whether it's a regression) and more recent (to see if it has been
fixed, for instance with upcoming 2.6.22-rc1).
If it's not fixed yet, you should send all this information to the Linux
kernel mailing list.

Once the kernel problem is fixed, we'll see if there's something to fix
in the X server too :)

Just for the sake of completeness, I will test the nv
driver when I get home in the morning.  I've used the nvidia
driver itself for years now but at the time I was fiddling around
with the open source driver instead for whatever reason.

I'll reply back to this bug report shortly to let you
know if it's all working.  Most likely it is now that the cards
have been out awhile and Xorg is maturing nicely.
