Description Emmanuel Rosa 2008-09-17 23:49:45 UTC
x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810-2.4.2-r2 causes computer to lockup (become completely unresponsive) when used with x11-base/xserver-1.5.0, x11-base/xorg-x11-7.4, and media-libs/mesa-7.1.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810-2.4.2-r2 and all dependencies.
2. Execute "Xorg -configure".
3. cp xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
4. Reboot computer.

Actual Results:  
When Xorg starts a blank screen is displayed and computer does not respond to keyboard or mouse. Also not able to log in via ssh to inspect problem.

Expected Results:  
Xorg should have started, and then GDM should have started.

I tried using no xorg.conf as suggested at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=237189. I've been using the intel driver instead of the i810 driver for a while now.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf

xorg.conf generated by "Xorg -configure." My old xorg.conf does not work anymore.

/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-input.fdi

I tried to configure HAL since xorg says it depends on HAL for input devices.

See bug #232249 - maybe your lookup has the same reason as mine..
Comment 5 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-09-30 09:52:53 UTC
1) did you rebuild your drivers after emerging xorg-server 1.5 ?
2) please remove HorizSync and VertRefresh from your xorg.conf
3) where did you get x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810-2.4.2-r2 ? I'm just about to commit it...
4) don't try to solve many problems at the same time, solve HAL problems later.

Thanks

1) Yes
2) I tried it with no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file too, same results.
3) It was in portage.
4) Ok, just trying to eliminate HAL as a possible cause.

*Las Vegas style jingle* You've just won the jackpot !!!

Let's be serious now :) Basically, you should open a bug in FreeDesktop's bugzilla with all the information here.

Please read this page for more info on how to open the bug [1] and don't forget to add "remi@gentoo.org" as a CC on that bug so I can track its status.

Thanks

Please paste the url here once you've opened a bug report in FreeDesktop's bugzilla using the instructions I posted in comment #7.

Thanks
