Testing latest -intel in Ubuntu

[garytr24]

That's the spirit I think I have been guilty in doing similar things.

Maybe kxmas can help with the symbolic backtrace? Anyway, if 20090306 works but 20090308 fails this looks like an upstream regression that should be reported. They will likely ask for full logs, and a symbolic backtrace if possible.

Well, I am looking at the code, and if you are running DRI2, i830_update_dri_buffers() should not call DRIGetSAREAPrivate() like it does in your backtrace.

See also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing for how to get a full backtrace.

I also have this problem with the 0308 driver on a thinkpad sl300 with GM45, UXA/DRI2.

For 3) Some panels are really 6 bit, http://lists.freedesktop.org/archive...ch/044192.html

Thanks for that link. I can live with knowing it's just a missing feature.

For kernel modesetting, which kernel are you using? And libdrm?

BTW, For Debian, you can also download the xorg-edgers source package of -intel and rebuild it on your system, if you want to try out the trunk, but you will need libdrm 2.4.5.

Using kernel 2.6.29-rc7 here. It's probably a week or two out of date because I git-clone'd it from a copy on my desktop which hasn't been updated in a while.

Apt says this libdrm is "2.4.4+git+20090205+8b88036-1". Looking at the fd.o git changelog, it doesn't look like anything important changed between then and 2.4.5...

This has just now been fixed upstream, and I have uploaded a new package to xorg-edgers.

And this time it works

BTW, does anyone know where the build scripts are for the Ubuntu MainLine kernels?

compiz broken

Seems like a regression with the latest .deb. I can't run compiz at all (UXA dri2), anyone else have problems like this?

I'm using xserver-xorg-video-intel ver 2:2.6.99.1+git20090310.2fcf4fcc-0ubuntu0tormod with UXA and KDE 4.2.1, and it seems fairly stable. I haven't tried UXA across two displays though. I'll use EXA with xinerama until all my xinerama UXA scars heal from my previous attempts.

so no one knows where linux_2.6.29-020629rc7.dsc, linux_2.6.29-rc7.orig.tar.gz, and linux_2.6.29-020629rc7.diff.gz are for this kernel http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa...ne/v2.6.29-rc7?

also, my KDE desktop seems broken, too. Plasma crashes, and I can only see a couple of windows but no deskbar. Desktop effects are on and work for the 2 windows that appear (firefox, and whatever else is saved in the session).

Not sure they are built from a classic Debian package. Can you not use the linux-source package? See also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KnowledgeBase

Tormod, that's another good link you've sent my way. Thanks.

I tried using the source package to build to build the kernel, using instruction from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile. The kernel build fine, but the deb package was missing all the hooks for dkms and what not. Since all I wanted to do was turn the kernel mode setting on, it seemed silly try to figure out what was missing when the debian source packages would have everything that I needed.

Nothing negative to report for xserver-xorg-video-intel ver 2:2.6.99.1+git20090312.dc3ff0b5-0ubuntu0tormod
