Description Michal Zegan 2010-02-13 20:27:02 UTC
When i'm starting xorg, it displays a black screen without any cursor.
Vt switch works, but i am getting mtrr errors.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1 - Have the same card as mine.
2 - Have the same or nearly the same xorg server/drivers version as mine.
3 - Start xorg with the configuration from xorg -configure or your own, or builtin one.
Actual Results:  
When i'm starting x this way, i always get a black screen, no cursor.
When i'm switching to the vt that is a controlling vt for the xorg, i notice no errors, but when i am trying to send sigint to xorg, it displays an error about mtrr.
All error messages will be attached later.

Expected Results:  
It should just run the x server with a mouse cursor to test the new configuration.

Some software and hardware info to help:
Graphic card is:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 10)
Kernel version: 2.6.31-r6.
Kernel configuration related to the issue:
drm enabled as a module.
I915 driver enabled as a module.
Framebuffer support and console fb compiled in.
All those drivers were loaded while i started xorg.
Option enabling kms by default was not enabled.

xorg version: 1.6.5-r1.
Xorg was compiled without hal support and with keyboard, mouse and intel card support.
xf86-video-intel driver version: 2.9.1

If you're not using KMS, please enable it either in your kernel's .config or in your kernel's command line in grub (i915.modeset=1).

If that doesn't help, try a .32 kernel.

If that still doesn't help, unmask xf86-video-intel 2.10 and grab the latest RC kernel from sys-kernel/git-sources.

Thanks
