After many unsuccessful tries I've been able to get KMS to work with the combination: xorg-server-1.6.1.901-r1 + xf86-video-intel-2.7.1 + vanilla-sources-2.6.30_rc6 However, when I try to play a video with mplayer, it causes the X server to Hang, forcing me to do a hard reboot. If I disable KMS, mplayer works well. I am using is media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p20090322.

Please attach your xorg.conf and your kernel .config file to this bug.
Created attachment 192897 [details] config file for kernel 2.6.30_rc7 I'm not using a xorg.conf.
Created attachment 192901 [details] /var/log/Xorg.0.log I am sending the Xorg.0.log file which may be useful because I don't have a xorg.conf.
Nothing I can do here to help. Please file a bug in FreeDesktop's bugzilla [1] and please paste the url here so we can keep track of the issue. Thanks [1] http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html
Please get back to us. Thanks
Remi, if you look at Bug #275861, it looks like the bug is still around. Rafael, it looks like this is pretty much the same as my bug except you are using a kernel version 2.6.30_rc6 (how did you get this?). I haven't tried a "plain" video file (e.g. mpg, or a TV stream from the Hauppauge), because I'm afraid they will hang the system and I'd like to get some work done (restoration of system "state" probably takes me an hour or more). I've got the files, X-server, Intel driver, etc "compiled" for debugging so I could probably run GDB from a console tty on an X terminal and then try to run a mplayer video on that terminal, but given the way it seems to hang all of the terminals (no keyboard response X windows or consoles) I'm doubtful that this will be a useful path. There is a path than involves compiling the kernel with the option to allow handling of "hard" hangs but I've never ventured into that domain. I suspect to debug this is going to require someone with a system with 2 video systems (one i915 and one add-in (PCI/PCIe?) video card) and 2 monitors with the "consoles" on the non-i915 monitor. I might be able to configure my system that way but its probably a day or more to make the required hardware & software changes. I'd be more inclined to see if the bug shows up elsewhere (Ubuntu?), etc. As far as I known I am running in KMS mode when I am running i915.modeset=1. I have not tried booting without it and testing video capabilities yet. I think if I could get it so the driver was loadable (rather than builtin to the kernel) I could flip it back and forth between the modes but haven't figured out how to do that yet either. Suggestions Remi?

I'm using the vanilla-sources. Actually, I am now using 2.6.30_rc8. I'll try with 2.6.30 tomorrow morning (it's 4 AM here). I can try the gentoo sources also, but I don't think it will make any difference. > > I haven't tried a "plain" video file (e.g. mpg, or a TV stream from the > Hauppauge), because I'm afraid they will hang the system and I'd like to get > some work done (restoration of system "state" probably takes me an hour or > more). > > I've got the files, X-server, Intel driver, etc "compiled" for debugging so I > could probably run GDB from a console tty on an X terminal and then try to run > a mplayer video on that terminal, but given the way it seems to hang all of the > terminals (no keyboard response X windows or consoles) I'm doubtful that this > will be a useful path.

Suggestions Remi? > If you have configured Kernel Mode Setting to be enabled as default, then you need to use i915.modeset=0 in grub.conf to disable it. I don't know if there's any way to enable/disable KMS without rebooting the machine.
I confirm the problem persists with xorg-server-1.6.1.901-r5+KMS+vanilla-sources-2.6.30. I'll try to get time collect to all the info requested to fill a bug upstream.
This is now fixed for me with kernel 2.6.30.2 + xf86-video-intel-2.7.99.902-r1 + media-libs/mesa-7.5-r1. Reopening to close as fixed.
Changing to the proper resolution.
Great, thanks for the follow-up.
