Description Alberto Girlando 2012-01-09 16:50:56 CET

I have upgraded to the latest version of X11. I have also upgraded to the last kernel (2.6.38.8-desktop-9), but I believe the problem is with Xorg, since it is the same even when I try to boot with the previous kernel. I have an ATI Radeon 3100. I was using the proprietary driver.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
x11-server-1.10.1-1.1.mga

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:

1) try to start X

a) I have tried by putting xdriver=vesa at login
b) Tried to go through safe booting, put init=3, then tried with startx
c) After the screen goes blank, there is nothing I can do: no messages from startx, no Control-alt-backspace, no Control-ALt-F1. Only way to shut down computer.

Latest X11 log file:

Comment 1 Manuel Hiebel 2012-01-10 00:11:48 CET

And it was working before the update of xserver ?

you can try https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_1_Errata#Radeon_HD_Issues

What's the output of the following command:
lspcidrake -v | grep Card

What's needed is a GDB trace:
Please download both https://bugs.mageia.org/attachment.cgi?id=121 and
https://bugs.mageia.org/attachment.cgi?id=122

Then enable the core/debug_release media/repository and install
x11-server-debug, x11-driver-video-ati-debug, glibc-debug

Then just run "sh ./Xgdb2.sh" on a text terminal (not from a terminal within
X11!!! use Ctrl+Alt+F1), then switch back to X11 until it segfaults
(Ctrl+Alt+F7).

(take from https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87#c25)

Comment 2 Alberto Girlando 2012-01-10 08:45:17 CET

Yes, everything was working perfectly, also with the 3D desktop. I had always some problems when there was an upgrade of the kernel, just because the compilation of the proprietary drive gave problems unless I did it manually afterwards. But I could work around, since I had some answer from the system. But now the problem is certainly due to the upgrade of the X-server. The problem was dramatic to me, as in starting X with any procedure, I was lost in nowhere, with the only possibility to access the computer from another one, via ssh.

Yesterday, before going home (the computer is the one I use at work, and actually I needed it desperately !) I googled around - with the other computer, of course, and found that the proprietary ATI drive had problems with acpi/udev. So, as suggested there, I inserted acpi=off at startup (I also used xdriver=vesa, but as I discovered in subsequent trial, that's irrelevant: this command seems to be ignored). Then the system DID NOT start with X, but this time gave me a message of error, and offer the opportunity to change the setting of the X-server. I first tried to switch to VESA, but it did not work: when tried to restart X the system hang (this time loosing control of the video, something did not happened previously). Then I started again, with acpi=off, and used the Xorg ati driver (without 3D acceleration). This time things worked, and now I have at least an X working, although without all the functionalities. I wanted to performed further tests, when I received Manuel's message. So maybe it is useful if I follow the suggested bug-tracking procedure: I posted the message at this stage, so people in my situation may have X working at once. Incidentally, I am using GNOME, not
KDE, so the first errata indicated by Manuel probably does not apply (and the problem was different).

One question to Manuel, as I am not an expert: what I have to do with the scripts:
https://bugs.mageia.org/attachment.cgi?id=121 and
https://bugs.mageia.org/attachment.cgi?id=122

In other words, with which name I have to save them, and where I have to puth them once I have made them executable ? In /usr/bin ?

save the 121 as Xgdb2.sh in a folder (can be your home), then chmod +x Xgdb2.sh
and the 122 as gcmds2 in the same folder.

Then _attach_ (not paste) your backtrace here.

OK, I could not do the test, since as soon as I logout OR made Ctrl/Alt F1, the computer loosed control of the terminal (green light turned to yellow), so I could not do the test (since you wanted me to debug a running X, I think a test made by logging on from another computer was invalid). So I did a further trial (re-installing the proprietary driver), and everything was OK again. So I put the status as SOLVED, although the reason of the behavior remain obscure to me.
I repeat her the problem and how I got around it, just in case someone else incur in the issue.

CPU: AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 920 Processor (64 bit)
Card:ATI Radeon HD 2000 and later (radeon/fglrx): ATI Technologies Inc|Radeon 3100 Graphics [DISPLAY_VGA] (vendor:1002 device:9611 subv:1043 subd:82ee)
Using the proprietary ATI driver
----------------------------------------
Upgraded to:

kernel 2.6.38.8-desktop-9.mga
AND 
x11-server-1.10.1-1.1.mga


Tried to reboot. The new kernel recompiled fglrx.

The system hanged when tried to start X: blank screen (but green light on the monitor: the card was controlling it somehow). I could not issue any command to exit X. Crtl/Alt Backspace or Crtl/Alt F1 (or any other) did not work. Only way to get out was to shutdown the computer.

Tried to start with xdriver=vesa: did not work.
Tried to make a safe boot and reconfigure X through aticonfig: did not work

Tried to start with acpi=off
In this case X did not start, but it gave me an error message, offering the possibility to reconfigure X (which was still configured for the proprietary drive)
a) Tried to use VESA: did not work (why ?)
b) Tried to use Xorg open ati driver: this time the system finally worked, once I decide myself to reboot (WITHOUT acpi=off) rather than simply logging out.
However, I could not have 3D acceleration (no 3D desktop).
In addition, when I was logging out OR when I was making Ctrl/Alt F1, the card loosed control of the monitor (yellow light), and again I had to reboot.

Finally, once in X, I reconfigured X through drakconf, USING THE PROPRIETARY DRIVER when I was asked for. Since then, everything worked again as it was supposed to.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED
