Bug 288012 – X Crashes with segmentation fault - radeon / randr problem?

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description PetaMem R&D 2009-10-07 06:56:04 UTC]

Had to reboot my notebook after longer time (using hibernate-ram, so maybe I stumble across this later than it really should have hit me)

X doesn't start up. Upon inspection I see this:

(II) RADEON(0): crtc(0) Clock: mode 161630, PLL 161620
(II) RADEON(0): crtc(0) PLL  : refdiv 12, fbdiv 0x1AF(431), pdiv 6

(II) RADEON(0): RandR 1.2 enabled, ignore the following RandR disabled message.

Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support


Interestingly, I have libXrandr 1.3.2 installed not 1.2 as radeon claims. Also re-emerging either the radeon driver nor randr didn|t change anything

Sorry, 1.3.0 - nevertheless a mismatch with what the radeon driver claims.

Additional info:

xorg-server 1.6.4 with hal disabled

now I see this:

> 2.6.31-tuxonice x86_64)

and this:

> virtual/os-headers:  2.6.30-r1

and actually there is no virtual/os-headers, just sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.30-r1

and he tries to install that even after removal. Hmm.

Understandable, as almost ever rebuild fails without them. Sigh. Although I do have them under /usr/src/linux/include/linux ... ok a symlink here and there helps with this...

Should - for the first time in history - the tuxonice guys have been faster than the vanilla herd? :-)

Ok. Rebuilt xorg and all drivers with the symlinks pointing to 2.6.31 includes aaaaand...

It works!

(II) RADEON(0): RandR 1.2 enabled, ignore the following RandR disabled message.
(WW) RADEON(0): Option "BIOSHotkeys" is not used
(WW) RADEON(0): Option "VendorName" is not used
(WW) RADEON(0): Option "ModelName" is not used
(--) RandR disabled
(II) Initializing built-in extension Generic Event Extension
(II) Initializing built-in extension SHAPE
(II) Initializing built-in extension MIT-SHM
(II) Initializing built-in extension XInputExtension
(II) Initializing built-in extension XTEST

etc. etc.

I've changed the resolution to "WORKSFORME", probably this will get obsolete with a linux-headers update. SOmeone should test/verify/reproduce nevertheless.
