Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-via

X froze, so I kill'd it. No effect, kill -9. Beeping and this:

xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log please :) Can you get or compile a debug build of Xorg? (xorg-server src package, xserver-xorg-core bin package) And of your driver xserver-xorg-video-via as well.
You might also want to add Option "NoTrapSignals" "true" to xorg.conf to get a core dump if it dies.

[John Moser (nigelenki)]

xorg.conf, except I had Load "dri" uncommented at the time (I've turned dri off due to this crap)

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

Please test a new version for Feisty at:

http://users.tkk.fi/~tjaalton/dpkg

[John Moser (nigelenki)]

I see via-unichrome, but that driver doesn't actually load for my Via I think... I will try it.

[John Moser (nigelenki)]

There's no deb at that URL. Also as I said I am using
xserver-xorg-video-via; if I use the other one:

(II) LoadModule: "unichrome"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//unichrome_drv.so
(EE) LoadModule: Module unichrome does not have a unichromeModuleData
data object.
(II) UnloadModule: "unichrome"
(II) Unloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//unichrome_drv.so
(EE) Failed to load module "unichrome" (invalid module, 0)

This is for current Feisty, not your version (which I'd have to compile
from source, honestly don't feel like it)

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

Oh, sorry! Now there is a deb for you :) It conflicts with via, since the unichrome replaces it.

[Tormod Volden (tormodvolden)]

Is this still a problem in 7.04?

[John Moser (nigelenki)]

Using the kernel from Gutsy, as it's the most recent I can legitimately get. Also yes still a problem on Feisty.

Linux icebox 2.6.22-6-generic #1 SMP Fri Jun 1 19:24:12 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

DRM is in the kernel. Please try 8.04 which has 2.6.24.

[Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara)]

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

[Markus Korn (thekorn)]

Unfortunately this bug report is being closed because we received no response to the last inquiry for information. However, the Intrepid Ibex 8.10 Beta release was most recently announced - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/beta . If you are able to confirm this is still an issue with this most recent release please feel free to reopen this report. To reopen the bug report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to "New".

Thanks,
Markus
