Since I reported this bug, two other bugs have been reported that appear
to be duplicated bugs of this one : #345929 and #345958

It seems that Xorg receives a fatal signal 11 for each intel graphics chip.

Spending some time on Xorg mailing list, I found a thread about that in
december leading to this bug :

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5443

So it does not seem to be related to debian packaging at all.

Hi, FWIW, this problem also occurs on my machine (LinuxCertified LC2210D
laptop w/ Intel 82852/855GM chipset). Running the X server causes it to
segfault, and it doesn't release the keyboard/console, so I have to
reboot forcefully (Ctrl-Alt-SysRq-B). Downgrading to 6.8.2 fixes the
problem.

I'm escalating this bug to grave 'cos it "makes the package in question
unusable or mostly so" (http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer).

Relevant packages:

ii debconf 1.4.67 Debian configuration management system
ii laptop-detect 0.12.1 attempt to detect a laptop
ii libc6 2.3.5-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone
ii libgcc1 4.0.2-5 GCC support library
ii libxau6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-1 X Authentication library
ii libxdmcp6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-1 X Display Manager Control Protocol library
ii mdetect 0.5.2.1 mouse device autodetection tool
ii xlibs 6.9.0.dfsg.1-1 X Window System client libraries metapackage
ii xserver-common 6.9.0.dfsg.1-1 files and utilities common to all X servers
ii zlib1g 1.2.3-9 compression library - runtime

Hope this helps.

Subject: xserver-xorg: Xorg 6.9.0 freeze with i810 module

Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-1
Severity: important

Xorg keeps freezing my computing since the upgrade to 6.9.0
A backtrace is included in the log file.
IMO, it is related to i810 as I have heard version 6.9.0 works on other
computers (no way to log on these to confirm though).
It does not seem to be related to the kernel (tested with 2.6.1[45]).
A new libc6 is available today but the upgrade did not fix the problem.
If I do not load dri module, X starts but is VERY slow and have
rendering troubles (no mouse cursor, a lot areas are not refreshed =3D> G=
UI
unusable).

Not sure if it is related to Xorg or DRI but as X is crashing
(backtrace) I think something is already wrong here.

I'm using a IBM Thinkpad R50p and X freezes after the upgrade. It was

after some time the whole system hangs. I just had to start an
application (mozilla or evolution) and it took 2 seconds to 2 minutes to
freeze the system.

Starting X freezes my PowerBook5,6 (radeon) completely. No net, no
console. So I had to hard reset the machine. I tried the following:

Recreating a xorg.conf by dpkg-reconfigure -> no success

Switching from ati(radeon) driver to fbdev -> no success, but no
freeze.

Switching from 24 to 16 DefaultDepth + fbdev -> no success, X shows
the wm splashscreen with an cross cursor similar to the twm one but
shuts down after a while. This might be considerable with a broken
libpango at ppc, I am not sure yet.

Installing libgl1-mesa-dri in the hope r300 is used with radeon
driver -> frozen machine.

I've tried
http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2006/01/msg00680.html
and were able to run X. But only in 2-D Mode. DRI doesn't work but
freezes with both xlibmesa and libgl1-mesa. The newest DRI modules
are in my kernel, though. The 2-D mode shows some errors related to
my synaptic driver which I didn't investigate yet.

Hi,

Since xorg 6.9 I have been having trouble in my powerbook and the ATI
driver. I have follow some of the threads but still I get my X freeze.

"dmesg | grep drm" gets this:

Is this /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libdrm.so as shipped by
xserver-xorg? Note that /usr/lib/libdrm.so.2.0.0 from libdrm2 is not the
same thing nor interchangeable.

I've just upgraded from xorg 6.8.2.dfsg.1-2 to 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 and
Xorg catches signal 11 on startup. After trying different configurations
in xorg.conf I've found that Xorg fails to load even when called from
xorgcfg, and 'Xorg -configure' (which is called from xorgcfg) catches
signal 11 too.

When called with '-configure' option, Xorg does not load any
configuration but tries to make one by itself. Here is the output of
'Xorg -configure':

tags 345914 +patch
thanks

Hi, I've been hit by the same problem in all xorg servers above 6.8.2,
and after searching around online, I've found the upstream bug report,
which contains the solution:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5443

Basically, it's a call to ValidatePCI() that needs to be commented out.
I've tested this fix myself: apt-get source xorg-xserver-core and all
the build dependencies, then edit xf86Bus.c and comment out the
ValidatePCI() call, then dpkg-buildpackage and install the patched
package. It finally works on my Intel 855GM.

I've attached the patch, for people who use the i810 driver and is
running into the same problem (it was very annoying for me). Also, I've
uploaded the (UNOFFICIAL!) fixed package here (i386 only, sorry), for
those who badly need to get their Intel chips working:

http://eusebeia.dyndns.org/~hsteoh/debian/xserver-xorg-core_1.0.2-7_i386.deb

CAVEAT: this patch is probably too general; it really should be applied
only if the i810 module is being used (and maybe in a few other
cases---see the bug report for details). So, you should only install
the above package if you are using the i810 module. I have no guarantees
what it will do if you are using another chipset! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

I'm in the process of updating the i810 driver to 1.6.1, which should
contain this fix. It'll be in experimental tomorrow. Please test it and let
me know if it works for you.

Hi,

I've just applied the patch from:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6750

against the latest Debian source (xserver-xorg-core) and it works
perfectly on my i850 chipset. I strongly urge the X maintainers to add
this patch to the official Debian package before the next release---it's
a showstopper for people with these Intel chipsets. This particular
patch is non-intrusive; it detects exactly those chipsets that need to
be fixed, and nothing else.

For those who wish to test the fix (or need a fixed package to use with
their Intel chipsets), I've built an (unofficial!) package for i386
here:

http://eusebeia.dyndns.org/~hsteoh/debian/xserver-xorg-core_1.0.2-9_i386.deb

Hope this helps.

Yes it does! apt-get -t experimental install xserver-xorg-video-i810,
and then restart X. Everything works normally.

We can probably tag these bugs as pending now. Thanks for making this
work. :-)

  I, too, can confirm, that xserver-xorg-core 1.1.1 from experimental
(not an i810 driver) fixes said problem (and I also applied that patch for
myself about two weeks ago :) ).
