XFree86_log
SIGFPE. Ugh. 1400x1050 is shown as accepted in the log file. Please attach your config file. Not sure what might cause an FPE. I'll test 1400x1050 on my board. Created attachment 54784 [details]
XF86Config-4
Mike, I've attached the XF86Config-4 generated by the skipjack2 installer and your 4.2.0-6.666 packages. I manually added the "1400x1050" mode, since neither Anaconda or Xconfigurator will generate one with this mode enabled (test fails). Added the config I was using successfully on enigma with your 4.2.0 rpms (sorry, don't recall exact version - say late Feb/early Mar version). I've reproduced this FPE with a local build, and will try to debug it and come up with a solution. Please, in the future do not compress text file attachments. It makes it difficult to quickly go to a bug report and click on an attachment and have it viewable in the web browser. I've reported this upstream for discussion. Hui Yu from ATI says this problem is fixed in current XFree86 CVS and has to do with DDA related code that came over from the r128 driver the radeon driver is based upon. The problem is claimed to be fixed in XFree86 CVS code currently. I've made a diff between the two releases in order to try to isolate the bug fix for this problem. Unfortunately the diff is 600Kb and is quite expansive in it's entirety. I'm not sure what the exact changes are that fix JUST this bug, and they were checked into CVS as one big huge monga driver update rather than smaller individual bugfix updates, so there is no easy way to isolate the fix short of reimplementing it, and doing some guesswork/troubleshooting. Since it is claimed as fixed in CVS, I'm going to defer this bug report for after XFree86 4.3.0 is released, or at least in our rawhide tree in beta prerelease form. Ok, I just backported the DDA changes from CVS. I'm not sure if I've missed anything or not, or if my patch is correct. I'm building a new build. Will you be able to test the new driver right away? I need testing ASAP in order to try to get this fix into rawhide, otherwise it might have to wait until the next distro release for XFree86 4.3.0. Please let me know ASAP Sorry I've been away on vacation. I've downloaded & tried the 4.2.0-67 packages but was met with a long list of failed dependencies. If you have something that will work with an up2date 7.3 install I'll gladly test them. Nor can I at this time test the latest beta with these packages to see if it solves the issue. Sorry. I do not have packages for 7.3, sorry. Unfortunately I don't have time to test this in depth right now personally. I'm changing the bug status to MODIFIED pending testing. If you test it and it works please close the bug as RAWHIDE, if it fails, please reopen as ASSIGNED, and update the report. Note to jkt/QA - if this report stays in MODIFIED state for too long, please ASSIGN for testing in a month or so. Updated info. Now running 8.0 w/ XFree86-4.2.0-72 Behaviour is different then previously described. Running X with 1400x1050 resolution results in my monitor (Samsung SyncMaster 900NF) giving a "Sync out of range - 52.4 KHz 17Hz NN" message. The numbers fluctuate slightly but this is a typical median. X does start properly now. ps shows X and the various apps set to autostart as running. I will also give your 4.2.1-9 testing packages a try later this weekend. Created attachment 86164 [details]
XFree86 error log with 1400x1050 on Psyche
I have succeeded in making 1400x1050 work. Googled for some 1400x1050 modeline info which does work. I consider this bug closed as I no longer get an SIGFPE. I've opened a bug against redhat-config-xfree86 (#78802). If the problem is resolved via a workaround such as a config file hack, then there must still be an actual bug present which should be fixed. Cluttering up our config files isn't the right answer. I'm reopening this for further investigation, however I don't know when I'll have a chance to look into it. This needs to be tested with our latest phoebe beta plus latest rawhide code. I'll do so when I get a chance though unless you or someone else beats me to it first. ;o) I'm giving the first beta a pass. Most likely will install the next version, whether it be a second beta or 8.1. Radeon 7500 QW works for me in all video modes from 640x480 through 1600x1200 on x86 and x86_64 in 24bit depth. Never tested other depths. Closing as fixed in RAWHIDE An errata has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on the solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2003-066.html |
