[i845G] Fatal server error: Couldn't bind memory for BO front buffer (Jaunty)

[Shirish Agarwal]

Since the change from the 2.4.1 driver to 2.5.1, Jaunty now hangs during boot, with "Fatal server error: Couldn't bind memory for BO front buffer" shown in the log.

This bug is ONLY for the issue on i845 graphics. While the same symptom can be seen with 855 and 865, the workaround and solution is different.

Also discussed at this forum: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18974

Hi all,
 This is in jaunty, I get no screens.

I am suffering from the very same problem. The upstream git commit seems to be already present in the latest xorg (xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.4.2-8.fc10.i386)..

X startup fails all the time. 100% reliable.

Just went from F8 (X OK) to todays Rawhide, fully uptodate.

Surviving with fbdev for now...

what can I do to track this down?

[Joachim (joachim-redhat-bugs)]

X still does not start with the message "Fatal server error: Couldn't bind memory for BO front buffer" for a current Koji development system, featuring:

  kernel-2.6.27-3.fc10.i686
  libdrm-2.4.0-0.21.fc10.i386

[Andrew (andrew-redhat-bugs)]

I have a hobbled-together system using xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.4.2-1.fc10.x86_64 with acceleration disabled. Version 2.4.2-1 doesn't work with either EXA or XAA, and later versions don't work because of the "BO front buffer" error. The machines I've tested this with are G43/G45. Anyway, it sounds like they've made a bunch of stability improvements upstream recently, so it would be great to have a newer working driver. Thanks in advance to whoever is working on this bug!

[Konrad (konrad-redhat-bugs)]

ditto here: today's xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.4.2-10.fc10.i386 still only works with
NoAccel (BO front buffer) on intel 82865G.

I have another wierdness on this machine when logging in to the console
(run level 3): my user id is not being echoed the first time. after a
logout and again login it is echoed properly.

[Dave (dave-redhat-bugs)]

can one of the 865G people try adding

Option "Legacy3D" "false"

to the xorg.conf device section?

With
Option "Legacy3D" "false"
it gets further, displaying the splash login screen, sometoimes with corrupted text, and quickly freezes up. I am attaching the Xorg.0.log file just in case it is useful, but I don't think it is.

argh, forgot to type this comment into the attachments comment field...

Gets past the BO pin message but does not become useable.

The kde konsole background looked like a chess board (white/light grey)

My Xorg.0.log seems to be more complete, I was able to reboot the
machine via ssh.

In the kernel log I found the following lines:

Installing F10-Snap1-i686 on Intel 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE broke X unless option "NoAccel" was added to some xorg.conf file created after completion of the install procedure, and the bug still affects current "rawhide".
It does not seem to be a matter of kernel mode setting anyway which appears to be currently disabled for Intel graphics.

[Andrew (andrew-redhat-bugs)]

Matthias, I agree with Joachim that this seems unrelated to kernel mode setting. It's a very serious problem that makes it completely impossible to start X. Not that my vote counts for anything, but I think this should be a blocker. Thanks!

[Bob (bob-redhat-bugs)]

Still breaks on F10-Snap3-i686. Booted to runlevel 3 and tried to start with:
  startx /usr/bin/xterm -- -logverbose 7
    (I yum installed xterm on to a live-usb stick)
The herringbone Xserver crosshatch came up, but no xterm and no mouse.
In another network login:
  xterm -display :0
and then the Xserver logs a
[mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.
and a backtrace. I've attached Xorg.0.log file, and tacked in the lines
from /var/log/messages.

Bob, yours looks like a separate bug. You should probably open up a new bug report.

[Gerwin (gerwin-redhat-bugs)]

This nasty problem doesn't happen only with the i810 driver but also with the "intel" driver. First of all it's not only annoying you don't get a login manager but 2nd, there should be an error telling that X can't be started. So probably 2 bugs.

Just for the record, at least since F9 i810 driver is just an alias for intel driver.

Hello,

i do not know if this helps at all but I have a HP Compaq d330 with a intel 82865G Integrated Graphics controller an I too have the same issue described in this thread.

I have tried running F10 snapshot3 i686 KDE4 live cd. The booting of the live cd fails when starting X, nor do i get a nice graphical plymouth boot.

An attempt to solve this by reverting the driver to not use the GEM system is in the works. Please stay tuned for test packages.

[Konrad (konrad-redhat-bugs)]

feel free to throw test packages at us :-). very much appreciated!

(hardware is 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) BTW)

Side note: with Option "Legacy3D" "no" the KDE splash screen is
being displayed properly but the X server is soon getting stuck in some
DRI ioctl .

Just launching X and starting an xterm and twm goes OK, however when
moving around the xterm there is graphics garbage left behind
(mostly thin horizontal and vertical lines). The xterm (maximized)
survives a find / -print and runs at a fine speed. Then I got
adventurous and started firefox on www.orf.at. The page got mostly
displayed but then the X server hung like above.

During boot I only get something like a progress bar in text mode
at the bottom of the screen, no nice splash image at all.

Greetings,
Konrad

[Will (will-redhat-bugs)]

The fix Jesse mentioned in comment #33 is in kernel-2.6.27.5-109.fc10. Could you please retest with that kernel (or newer) and confirm whether X starts now?

(In reply to comment #34)
> During boot I only get something like a progress bar in text mode

That's expected. Graphical boot requires kernel modesetting. Intel modesetting drivers should appear sometime before F11.

[Pieter (pieter-redhat-bugs)]

This is on a Dell Inspiron 510M with Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device.

Experienced same error messages as in comment #27 with kernel-2.6.27.5-109.fc10. Tested with kernel-2.6.27.5-109.fc10, I can confirm the issue is gone for me and X can be started correctly.

[Pieter (pieter-redhat-bugs)]

In comment #36, it should read "same error messages with kernel-2.6.27.5-101.fc10"

[Mace (mace-redhat-bugs)]

With the new kernel, I still get a black screen and hang using XAA. While EXA doesn't hang and I can login, I get screen corruption if using Compiz (or any 3D app).

Supermicro C2SEA with G45 X4500HD:

kernel-2.6.27.5-109.fc10.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.5.0-3.fc10.x86_64

xorg-x11-server-common-1.5.3-3.fc10.x86_64

[Will (will-redhat-bugs)]

EXA is the default, as far as I can tell. So if the default case works now, we can at least move this off the blocker list.

What error messages appear in Xorg.0.log if you're using XAA?

Screen corruption using Compiz/GL stuff is a separate bug - if it's font corruption, perhaps it's bug 471537?

Server starts now even w/o xorg.conf but text display is heavily
corrupted. (KDE konsole, Firefox, etc)
With no_accel there is no text corruption.

The corruption looks funny while typing: while typing the "The" at beginning

when I typed the "e" then the missing parts appeared.

Yes, that looks just like bug 471537. Follow up there for the graphical corruption problems.

Seems like X is starting up successfully now, and there's no mention of the original error message. Closing this bug.

Reopen *only* if X fails to start and the message "Couldn't bind memory for BO front buffer" appears in Xorg.0.log.

I see this same problem with F10 release, on a Thinkpad T61 with Intel Mobile GM965/GL960 (PCI vendor/ID 8086:2a03).

EXA vs XAA doesn't matter, and neither does the suggested Legacy3D; the only workaround I've found is Option "NoAccel" "yes" in xorg.conf. Same error from dmesg:
  ...
  [drm:i915_gem_object_pin] *ERROR* Failure to bind: -12
  ...

Same error from Xorg.0.log:

xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.5.0-3.fc10.x86_64

(Additionally there's a failure when the X server crashes that seems to disable all input, so X never exits cleanly and I can't switch to another virtual terminal. All I can do is hit the power button to cleanly reboot [i.e. the ACPI event seems to be handled properly].)

I was having this problem too.

I downgraded my kernel to 2.6.27 and things are working perfectly fine.

I suspect the problem is that libdrm is not correctly detecting that the kernel is not doing mode setting.

[Twig (pfirth)]

I confirm that downgrading to 2.6.27-8 also works for me. The desktop takes forever to load but I suspect that that is another issue.

Since I can't run X with the intel driver in its current state, I have been using the fbdev driver. Here are some details and (attached) log entries. I hope it can be of use:

intel driver failing to load on :1 while :0 is occupied with intelfb/fbdev driver

[DeJe (djenett)]

I can confirm this bug with 855GM chipset.
For me, kernel 2.6.27 was working also. I cannot attach any logs cause I allready reformatted and removed Jaunty. I saw that this error still is in Alpha2 (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/TechnicalOverview#Known%20Issues) so I wait testing Jaunty until at least X is working correctly. ;)

[Jynx97 (jynx97)]

Still seeing this issue, adding new Xorg log.

[Mahesh Asolkar (asolkar)]

Same issue with 'Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device rev 2'.

[manzur (sl-solaris)]

I can confirm this bug with i845 chipset

[trshemanske (thomas-r-shemanske)]

I was experiencing this problem with an old uniwell laptop (intel graphics), and have a partial resolution by changing the color depth from 24 to 16 bit, i.e. add
DefaultDepth 16
to the screen section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Partial resolution means I can achieve default resolution 1280x800 at 16 bit color using the intel driver

[Marques Johansson (marques)]

I tried setting the DefaultDepth to 16, but that caused X to lock up (mouse worked, could not type in the log in prompt) after a few seconds (less than 15).

I tried adding NoAccel and that is allowing me to use X at 1920x1200, without compiz.

Both logs are attached.

[Marques Johansson (marques)]

The errors and warnings in the NoAccel log I attached are:

(WW) intel(0): libpciaccess reported 0 rom size, guessing 64kB
(WW) intel(0): Register 0x70024 (PIPEASTAT) changed from 0x80000207 to 0x00000000
(WW) intel(0): PIPEASTAT before: status: FIFO_UNDERRUN VSYNC_INT_STATUS SVBLANK_INT_STATUS VBLANK_INT_STATUS OREG_UPDATE_STATUS
(WW) intel(0): PIPEASTAT after: status:
(EE) intel(0): Failed to init memory manager

That first error message yields some google matches. I thought EE was a dead end for X, but this log is from the active session.

[Shirish Agarwal (shirishag75)]

Marques Johansso, can you put up your xorg.conf ?

[Marques Johansson (marques)]

It's the vanilla xorg.conf with 'Option "NoAccel" "true"' added. I have some other junk in there, but that's all it is.

I've also used a daily Jaunty live CD while this bug has existed, and strangely enough, the CD which uses the latest xorg and 2.6.28 kernel doesn't give me this problem. Maybe it disables acceleration also - I didn't check.

[Marques Johansson (marques)]

The log shows that my XvMC is disabled, but if you are going to copy my config line per line, you may also want to make sure the file "/etc/X11/XvMCConfig" has this single line:
libIntelXvMC.so.1

[Shirish Agarwal (shirishag75)]

I also get few warnings

(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic" does not exist.
(WW) intel(0): libpciaccess reported 0 rom size, guessing 64kB
(WW) intel(0): Register 0x70024 (PIPEASTAT) changed from 0x80000207 to 0x00000000

[Gavin Tweedie (gav-narx)]

Pretty sure I'm hitting this too with an Intel 915GM/GMS/910GML chipset. Can supply logs if useful in addition to what is already attached.

Temp workaround for me was to switch to Vesa driver.

[Andres-becerra (andres-becerra)]

I have the same setup than Yu Yuwei, and I want to add that if I boot a 2.6.27 kernel, xorg starts without problems.
It is only with the 2.6.28 kernel that I can reproduce the failure.

[manzur (sl-solaris)]

i confirm this too, i can not use jaunty jackalope because of this bug, i am using:
Intel(r) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphic Controller
