Description François Chavant 2009-01-30 20:59:02 UTC

With sys-apps/pciutils-3.1.0-r1 installed pommed refuses to start with following errors:

E: mmap failed: Invalid argument
E: Could not map GMA950/GMA965 memory
E: LCD backlight probe failed, check debug output

After digging in the code of pommed I noticed random values of dev->base_addr[0] (dev being the intel graphic chipset) at each run.

I downgraded to sys-apps/pciutils-3.0.2, and pommed now starts again.
Note that I tried with app-laptop/pommed-1.25 and app-laptop/pommed-9999 before downgrading, both of them displayed the exact same error messages.

Obviously this version of pciutils is buggy and might cause other applications that rely on it to crash.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. merge app-laptop/pommed
2. merge sys-apps/pciutils-3.1.0-r1
3. try to start pommed with "pommed -d"

Actual Results:  
pommed doesn't start

Expected Results:  
pommed should start

This bug is mentioned here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=518750

The fix appears to be included in pommed 1.26, see bug #263729

Must be fixed with version 1.26

Comment 3 François Chavant 2009-05-29 16:42:55 UTC

pommed 1.26 indeed works with newer versions of pciutils
(tested with =sys-apps/pciutils3.1.2)
