PAE and radeon integrated rs690 (x1200) prevents dri

[Steven Brown]

3D acceleration doesn't seem to work on the PAE kernel (which Ubuntu has made the default in my grub menu). The screen goes black (signal lost) after leaving grub, and only comes back with the login menu. If I use the non-PAE kernel, same version and everything, it seems to work. I've provided snippets of dmesg and xorg logs of both. Significant differences, I've noticed:

PAE Xorg.0.log:
[ 25.741] (II) RADEON(0): GPU accel disabled or not working, using shadowfb for KMS
[ 25.750] (II) RADEON(0): KMS Color Tiling: disabled

PAE: [ 25.741] (II) RADEON(0): GPU accel disabled or not working, using shadowfb for KMS

PAE: [ 26.682] (II) RADEON(0): mem size init: gart size :1fdff000 vram size: s:40000000 visible:f7d7000

non-PAE: [ 22.066] (II) RADEON(0): mem size init: gart size :1fdff000 vram size: s:40000000 visible:3f7d7000

(an extra digit included?)

and PAE dmesg:

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.4kernel[1] (Not a kernel in the daily directory). Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag(Only that one tag, please leave the other tags). This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text.

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

This issue appears to be an upstream bug, since you tested the latest upstream kernel. Would it be possible for you to open an upstream bug report at bugzilla.kernel.org [1]? That will allow the upstream Developers to examine the issue, and may provide a quicker resolution to the bug.

If you are comfortable with opening a bug upstream, It would be great if you can report back the upstream bug number in this bug report. That will allow us to link this bug to the upstream report.

[Maarten Bezemer (veger)]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug in the upstream bug tracking system this is a tremendous help. Launchpad has the ability to watch lots of upstream bug trackers and this can be done by following the procedure documented at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Watches. I've added the bug watch for this bug report.

Steven Brown, as per http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M2AVM/#support an update is available for your BIOS (2302). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette .

Thank you for your understanding.
