I have incorporated the following in my xorg.conf
to allow easy switching between LVDS1 and VGA1 using a vga
connection to the intel videocard:

Section "Screen"
Identifier  "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device  "Intel 945GM"
#Option "DefaultDepth" "16"
Option "AccelMethod" "sna" # uxa->sna (gallium3d/dri/kms/mesa)
#Option "DRI2" "1"
#Option "DRI" "1"
#Option "SwapbuffersWait" "false"
#Option "LinearFrameBuffer" "1"  
#Option "TripleBuffer" "0"
#Option "Pixmap" "24"
SubSection "Display"
 Modes "1280x800"
 Virtual 4096 4096
EndSubSection
EndSection

[xorg] Problem with sna/xcomposite? (i915 video driver related)

2013-03-17 Thread animelovin
Hi,

After upgrade to intel-xorg-video 2.21.4 driver, (Intel 945GM chipset) xserver 
1.12.4 crash repeatingly
with sna enabled in xorg.conf. 

A workaround i found is to fall back on "uxa" until the issue is resolve in 
upstream. Backtrace:

Can this bug please be checked by a upstream maintainer? I believe even with 
--disable-composite compile
time option the xserver experiment severe bus errors.

xserver config:
 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --disable-composite --enable-dri --enable-dri2 
--enable-libdrm --enable-xorg --disable-debug --disable-maintainer-mode 
--disable-ipv6 --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc

Yes i realize perhaps kernel 3.4.11 is unstable with this chipset... thus I 
will try upgrading to latest stable kernel (3.6.x) and rebuild intel video 
driver to see if i can repeat this bug with a more recent/updated version.

SMP and i915 chipset ?

2013-04-08 Thread animelovin
Hello, is it possible to compile linux 3.8.3 kernel with CONFIG_SMP and the 
i915 (intel_agp) chipset ? 

I have tried compiling intelfb (i810/i915) with this kernel option but got 
error:

"CONFIG_SMP is not supported with i810"



kind regards,

Etienne

Well obviously i don't get how you ended up to this conclusion... intelfb.ko 
seem required by the kernel
when modprobing i915.ko. However the issue seem to disappear when avoiding to 
build i810 as a module.


erob@nguns:~/phonebook$ cat /proc/fb
0 inteldrmfb

Hi,


Perhaps a reference to any Xorg related CVE would have been helpful to 
understand the origins of your
frustration as i suspect this may be related to the recent Xlib security 
issues, but can't confirm without
further details.

Cheers,

Etienne

you should probably delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf and use automatic
configuration. It worked for me as for making intel 965GM card switching
between LVDS1 and VGA1 output.
