Xorg crash when i try to use the geode driver (linutop1 - LX geode)

[Frédéric Logier]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-geode

X crash and respawn in an infinite loop. So I must to use the vesa driver that works on 800x600 only. Geode driver should works with 1280*1024 with 2D accelerated.

Hi, Martin,

 What is the problem of progress? Can you try to reproduce it on Ubuntu 10.10?

Thanks,
Hunk Cui

[Martin-Éric Racine (q-funk)]

Actually, Geode support is somewhat messy on 10.10 Maverick. However, Lucid and the upcoming Natty should be OK.

[Martin-Éric Racine (q-funk)]

I'm unable to reproduce this on my Linutop-1 sample, booting Lucid from a USB disk.

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.

Does the issue still apply to the 2.11.11-1 that can be found as backports for various Ubuntu releases in my PPA?

[Martin-Éric Racine (q-funk)]

Frédéric, does the issue still apply to the 2.11.11 package that can be found in lucid-updates or via my PPA?

Hi Martin-Éric,

sorry for this answer so late. So I just add your PPA in my ubuntu 10.10 and setting my xorg.conf to use your geode driver. Anyway Xorg crash again :
