I just upgraded my 2.6.27 kernel to 2.6.28, and now every time I start X, I get this error: (EE) intel(0): Failed to pin front buffer: Cannot allocate memory Fatal server error: Couldn't bind memory for BO front buffer dmesg shows this error: [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810 pci 0000:00:02.0: setting latency timer to 64 [drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20080730 on minor 0 [drm:i915_gem_object_bind_to_gtt] *ERROR* GTT full, but LRU list empty [drm:i915_gem_object_pin] *ERROR* Failure to bind: -12 and Xorg.0.log shows this: (II) intel(0): xf86BindGARTMemory: bind key 0 at 0x03e3f000 (pgoffset 15935) (II) intel(0): xf86BindGARTMemory: bind key 1 at 0x03e40000 (pgoffset 15936) (II) intel(0): xf86BindGARTMemory: bind key 2 at 0x06000000 (pgoffset 24576) (EE) intel(0): Failed to pin front buffer: Cannot allocate memory Fatal server error: Couldn't bind memory for BO front buffer (II) intel(0): xf86UnbindGARTMemory: unbind key 0 (II) intel(0): xf86UnbindGARTMemory: unbind key 1 (II) intel(0): xf86UnbindGARTMemory: unbind key 2 This is probably due to the inclusion of GEM in the 2.6.28 kernels.
Created attachment 176452 [details] my xorg.conf
Actually, I figured out that DRI does work with the newer kernel, but under two conditions: 1. in xorg.conf, "AccelMethod" has to be "UXA" 2. mesa from git has to be used because only that supports GEM
Using comment #2, it works, but I get corrupt graphics all over the place (random lines, squares) on the screen. Also, OpenGL is extremely messed up when a compositing manager is NOT running. It also happens to be very unstable; it crashes randomly.
You might want to disable the "Legacy3D" option in your Device section. That should help a bunch. And please try the unmasked packages in the x11 overlay. You shouldn't need any -9999 packages anymore. Thanks

Legacy3D is turned off, as it is already turned of by default (man intel(4))
Actually, sorry about the last post :-/ manual page was messed up
First, I'm REALLY sorry for changing this bug's status 3 times in a row. Turning off legacy3d brings me back to the EXA driver, which doesn't work if legacy3d is on. Everything is back to normal now. Also, something else I should mention is that MigrationHeuristic should be set to greedy in xorg.conf, or there will be random corruption in pixmaps.
Please provide your emerge --info and the versions of the following packages : - libdrm - xorg-server - mesa - xf86-video-intel Thanks

UXA is still slow and unstable, and "Legacy3D" still has to be off.
I guess you just won a free trip to FreeDesktop's bugzilla :) Please read http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html and please add "remi@gentoo.org" as a CC on the freedesktop bug so I can keep track of it. Thanks
Please paste the url here if you ever open a bug in fd.o Thanks
Reopen please, it's a legitimate issue and I've seen your postings about the issue on the list. Bug already exists at FD - a new bug doesn't need to be opened. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18974
Reopening
(In reply to comment #13) > Reopen please, it's a legitimate issue That's not the problem. The real issue is that I can't fix anything. I'm just a packager as far as the Intel driver is concerned. > and I've seen your postings about the > issue on the list. Bug already exists at FD - a new bug doesn't need to be > opened. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18974 Thanks for the link, I'll CC myself there and we'll track the issue upstream. Closing again.
For anyone else who gets a front buffer error - I cannot use UXA (X hangs after 3 seconds...) but I can use XAA if default depth is set to 15 or lower. Depth 24 results in front buffer error, 16 in gross screen corruption. dmesg still shows [drm:i915_gem_object_bind_to_gtt] *ERROR* GTT full, but LRU list empty [drm:i915_gem_object_pin] *ERROR* Failure to bind: -12<3>[drm:i915_get_vblank_counter] *ERROR* trying to get vblank count for disabled pipe 1 But the system is usable. I should perhaps add that this is on an 865G. lspci: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
