x startup failure

[Antoine Pitrou]

I installed jaunty desktop on an MSI Wind U115 netbook, which is architected around the Poulsbo chipset. After having run software updates, I then proceeded to add the ubuntu-mobile sources and apt-get xserver-xorg-video-psb. Unfortunately, after a reboot, X refuses to launch. Yet the kernel modules seem to be loaded (excerpt from lsmod):

psb 160814 1
drm 192648 1 psb
i2c_algo_bit 14084 1 psb

Xorg.log shows the following errors:

(II) PSB(0): Debug: MMIO virtual address is 0xb7787000

Note from fchurca: Happens on Dell Mini 10, also with a Poulsbo chipset. 2.6.28-11 kernel still works fine with xserver-xorg-video-psb; must be a 2.6.28-13 bug.

[GreenSkol (greenskol)]

I confirm fchurca comment : I have the exact same problem on a Dell Mini 10.
Everything worked fine with kernel 2.6.28-11, but the recent update to 2.6.28-13 apparently broke Poulsbo video support.

[Call me Ishmael (callmeishmael)]

Same behavior for an Acer 751, which has the same chipset.
Had to to downgrade kernel from 2.6.28-13 to 2.6.28-11, to have the graphics back (and anyway without 2D HW acceleration)

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Hi pitrou,

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (and maybe Xorg.0.log.old) file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.

[This is an automated message. Apologies if it has reached you inappropriately; please just reply to this message indicating so.]

[GreenSkol (greenskol)]

Here are the requested logs on a Dell Mini 10.
The archive contains :
- Xorg.0.log.ko : logs with the 2.6.28-13 kernel (not working)
- Xorg.0.log.ok : logs with the 2.6.28-11 kernel (working)
- lspci.log : result from the 'lspci -vvnn' command.

[Federico Churca-Torrusio (fchurca)]

Last kernel update on 2.6.28-13 fixed psb again automatically, but it broke on 2.6.28-11. I guess I'll just keep booting on -13.

[GreenSkol (greenskol)]

In fact it's fixed since the update on psb-module package (which broke 2.6.28-11 support). I think psb-modules is dependent of the kernel version. Perhaps it's just a packaging problem with missing dependancy / version compatibility information (I don't know if I've made myself clear).

[Pento (naplanetu)]

In 2.6.28-14 same problem :(

----------------------------------------------

Is there some workaround?

[js1 (sujiannming)]

Running into same problem as reported by Pento. Attached output as noted in Bryce Harrington's response.

[dbazza (diegobazzanella)]

Same problem on my Msi U115 (approx same /var/log/messages). After boot I've got a black screen.

[Federico Churca-Torrusio (fchurca)]

Solved here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-psb/+bug/406651

Short story:

sudo apt-get remove psb-kernel-source
sudo apt-get install psb-kernel-source

will fix it (provided you have the driver packages updated and installed already). install --reinstall won't work.

[Resetting to incomplete since we need a response from the original reporter on this].

[GreenSkol (greenskol)]

Why reset to incomplete ?

Requested outputs have been posted 8 months ago by me (message #4) and later by js1 (message #8).

Thanks !

[matteo pelà (matteo-pela)]

please, can anyone help me?
unfortunately, yesterday i've upgraded my ACER aspire one 751, but when i switch my computer on this morning i could only use terminal-mode, i tried using " startx " it gave me the same problems you claimed to have had...
i've installed a ubuntu 10.10 version which has many problems with its graphics.
Can anyone tell me how to revert my last upgrade or how to fix this problem?

thanks
Matteo
