xorg.conf with the comments removed for simplicity
Ok, well I think the issue is in your xorg.conf. Admittedly xorg shouldn't crash. There's a lot of stuff that is just downright wrong, and a bunch of stuff that's not needed. 1) Could you remove/comment *all* evdev devices and add Option "AutoAddDevices" "off" to your ServerLayout? 2) Could you also remove all monitor frequencies? The driver should pick those up (and manual setting is broken...) Thanks And in general, just remove any driver specific options, the driver is really quite clever these days :) (In reply to comment #6) > And in general, just remove any driver specific options, the driver is really > quite clever these days :) > Hi Remi, thank you *very much* man!!! I'll try it just now, only issue is have to re-emerge everything for 1.5, try it and back to the old stuff if it doesn't work (I'm already re-emerging all while writing to you).

Ok, let's try a different route : drop your xorg.conf file completely :) Let's see how that goes...

(In reply to comment #15) > No no :) move xorg.conf to /root/xorg.conf.old and run X without any conf file. Wow!! I didn't know it should even work... I'm, again, emerging everything :-( is there any quicker way of switching between both versions?

It does work!!!! It's improved a lot since the old times when one had to configure and specify even the stupidest things!!! Great. Unfortunatelly I desinstalled compiz a while ago so I cannot check if it's OK now but for the time been this is enough. I'm attaching the log for the X for your knowledge. Do you think it safe to ignore all this W&E: (WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/share/fonts/TTF/". (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/OTF" does not exist. (WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory) (WW) Warning, couldn't open module fbdev (WW) Warning, couldn't open module vesa (WW) intel(0): Bad V_BIOS checksum (WW) intel(0): Register 0x61200 (PP_STATUS) changed from 0xc0000008 to 0xd0000009 (WW) intel(0): PP_STATUS before: on, ready, sequencing idle (WW) intel(0): PP_STATUS after: on, ready, sequencing on (WW) intel(0): Hardware claims pipe A is on while software believes it is off (WW) intel(0): Hardware claims plane A is on while software believes it is off (WW) hdaps: Don't know how to use device BTW, the last one is pretty strange, it tries to open hdaps as an input device (it's a hard disk protection system that parks it if the PC falls down) Created attachment 165040 [details]
Xorg.0.log for an empty xorg.conf
BTW, while adding this attach I just realized I lost the middle button emulation on my touchpad (synaptics, when touching it simultaneously with two fingers at once)
Ok so this just means your xorg.conf was somehow broken. Just start with a simple file (like xorg.conf.example) and work your way to something you like. You can use xorgconfig if you want but don't enable additional options unless you really know what they do. These days, less config means less trouble. You can ignore the warnings, they should be harmless. As for hdaps, that's HAL reporting the sensors as an input device and Xorg tries to use it. Again, it's just a warning, don't sweat it. Cheers I have the very same issue. I've pinned down the problem by moving my old xorg.conf and running without any config, like was suggested here and that ran fine. The problem however was that the DRI performance was suboptimal. I then ran X -config to make a clean new xorg.conf file and saw that Xorg used the intel driver instead of the i810. I changed it manually to i810 only to discover I return to square 1: no X starting up. So I guess the problem here is the i810 driver, not a broken xorg.conf The i810 name is a misnomer, you should use "intel" from now on. (I *really* need to do this pkgmove, I'm getting everyone confused, sigh) Thanks (In reply to comment #20) > fine. The problem however was that the DRI performance was suboptimal. This is my concern too. Unfortunatelly, I don't have time enough to check it as I'm pretty busy at workd. Please post your xorg.conf once you reach an optimal stable one. On the suggestion of Remi I just put back my old xorg.conf file and replaced the i810 driver with the intel one and all works fine.

(In reply to comment #23) > For reference, this is my xorg.conf: Thanks man, is this the one that gave you the best performance? Does beryl, compiz or compiz-fusion work well on it? Regards, Rolando Zappacosta This xorg.conf gives me my old (good) performance, yes. I don't use compiz/beryl/etc though, in past or present, so I don't know how that compares. Anyway, just get your old xorg.conf, replace "i810" with "intel" and be happy. (In reply to comment #25) > This xorg.conf gives me my old (good) performance, yes. Just for reference, the performance issues seems to be because of this: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=237468 Regarding above config, having an empty xorg.conf causes these diffs: 1) grep -i backing /var/log/Xorg.0.log (==) intel(0): Backing store disabled 2) Use of: Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" instead of: Option "AccelMethod" "XAA" and no XAANoOffscreenPixmaps 3) "drm" not loaded (not sure if this can affect performance though): grep -i LoadModule /var/log/Xorg.0.log (II) LoadModule: "extmod" (II) LoadModule: "dbe" (II) LoadModule: "glx" (II) LoadModule: "freetype" (II) LoadModule: "dri" (II) LoadModule: "intel" (II) LoadModule: "int10" (II) LoadModule: "vbe" (II) LoadModule: "vgahw" (II) LoadModule: "int10" (II) LoadModule: "ddc" (II) LoadModule: "i2c" (II) LoadModule: "fb" (II) LoadModule: "exa" (II) LoadModule: "ramdac" (II) LoadModule: "evdev" (II) LoadModule: "synaptics" |
