Description Dmitry 'MAD' Artamonow 2007-02-15 15:32:56 UTC
Tried to install Xorg on Ultra10 with onboard ATI Rage video. After emerging I tried to configure Xorg (X -configure) and got this error on screen:
Fatal server error:
xf86MapPciMem: Could not mmap PCI memory [base=0xe2000000,hostbase=0xe2000000,size=2000] (Inappropriate ioctl for device)

When I start X with hand-edited xorg.conf (slightly modified /etc/X11/xorg.conf.example) computer locked with black or distorted screen and non-working keyboard.

Downgrading to xorg-server-1.1.1-r4 fixed the problem. I guess it's because of /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-server/files/1.1.1-sparc64-ati-lockups.patch Though I didn't tried yet to apply it to xorg-server-1.2.0 (recompiling X is very time expensive)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =xorg-server-1.2.0
2. X -configure


Actual Results:

Comment 1 Gustavo Zacarias (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-20 17:39:52 UTC
Tested on my u5 with onboard ati + addon mga, both fail with the following versions:
=media-libs/mesa-6.5.2-r1
=x11-base/xorg-x11-1.2.0-r3
=x11-libs/libdrm-2.3.0
The rest is plain stable.

http://dev.gentoo.org/~gustavoz/sparc/xorg.conf.ati
http://dev.gentoo.org/~gustavoz/sparc/xorg.conf.mga
Same ones work fine on current stable xorg-server, and i specify BusID for the matrox because xorg-server gets confused when i've got both cards in (actually i can have the mga without the ati since it's onboard).
Comment 6 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-05-08 06:02:04 UTC
I've talked to Debian people and this is apparently an issue there too.
Comment 7 Benjamin Judas 2007-06-01 09:00:55 UTC
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=180521
See my bug.

It's related to sysfs. xorg doesn't handle /sys on sparc (and probably on powerpc, too) correctly.

umount /sys and starting X should solve the issue.

They (i.e. the xorg-devs) seem to have hardcoded PCI-Domain 0 in their sourcecodes. This breaks on everything not related to x86.
Comment 8 Gustavo Zacarias (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-06-01 11:29:47 UTC
Basically your bug #180521 is a dupe of this one.
Maybe it works unmounting sysfs, but that's definitely not a solution, sysfs is used by a ton of other stuff so this should be fixed upstream.

06_use_proc_instead_of_sysfs_for_pci_domains patch from Debian

I've successfully build and ran xorg-server-1.2.0 using the attached patch, which I borrowed from Debian (they seem to fixed this bug already, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=422077 ). Patch is for xorg-server-1.3.0.0, and for applying it to xorg-server-1.2.0 sources you'll need to use "patch --ignore-whitespace".

Here's my steps to compile:

echo "<x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0 ~*" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
ebuild /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-server/xorg-server-1.2.0-r3.ebuild unpack
cd /var/tmp/portage/x11-base/xorg-server-1.2.0-r3/work/xorg-server-1.2.0/
patch -p1 -l < ~mad/tmp/06_use_proc_instead_of_sysfs_for_pci_domains.diff
ebuild /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-server/xorg-server-1.2.0-r3.ebuild compile
ebuild /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-server/xorg-server-1.2.0-r3.ebuild install
ebuild /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-server/xorg-server-1.2.0-r3.ebuild qmerge

(In reply to comment #11)
> Need your xorg.conf files please.

Attached, but there's nothing unusual in it IMHO. BTW, I've build xorg-server-1.3.0.0 with aforementioned patch and it also works fine. Sadly, all versions of xorg-server I tried (even stable 1.1.1) don't work for me with kernels >= 2.6.22. That seems to be another issue, though.

More xorg.conf files? Here take mine...
Comment 14 Gustavo Zacarias (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-07-26 18:36:09 UTC
Donnie, any news on the patch you want tested by us? (that you mentioned on #gentoo-dev)
Otherwise might i suggest we work around this with Debian's patch and a sparc kludge?...

Cleaned-up patch

Cleaned-up patch (otherwise it doesn't apply cleanly for some reason).
Comment 16 Gustavo Zacarias (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-07-27 20:08:08 UTC
And yeah, it works fine here on my tests too.
Dmitry: the X fix for 2.6.22 is queued on the kernel@ guys for the next instance of gentoo-sources-2.6.22 (likely -r2).
Comment 17 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-08-01 22:18:17 UTC
Just committed to 1.3.0.0, thanks for your patience!
