Are you using our kernel, or a self-compiled one? Please attach the output of "uname -a" and "rpm -qa | grep kernel". It appears from the log that your machine is not able to get AGP memory, and that is causing it to fail. (II) I810(0): [drm] created "i810" driver at busid "PCI:0:1:0" (II) I810(0): [drm] added 8192 byte SAREA at 0xd09d3000 (II) I810(0): [drm] mapped SAREA 0xd09d3000 to 0x40014000 (II) I810(0): [drm] framebuffer handle = 0xe8000000 (II) I810(0): [drm] added 1 reserved context for kernel (II) I810(0): [drm] Registers = 0xeff80000 (II) I810(0): [agp] dcacheHandle : (nil) (II) I810(0): [agp] GART: no dcache memory found (II) I810(0): [agp] Bound backbuffer memory (II) I810(0): [agp] Bound depthbuffer memory (EE) I810(0): [agp] drmAgpAlloc failed (EE) I810(0): [drm] failed to remove DRM signal handler (II) I810(0): [drm] removed 1 reserved context for kernel DRIUnlock called when not locked (II) I810(0): [drm] unmapping 8192 bytes of SAREA 0xd09d3000 at 0x40014000 (==) I810(0): Write-combining range (0xe8000000,0x4000000) (II) I810(0): vgaHWGetIOBase: hwp->IOBase is 0x03d0, hwp->PIOOffset is 0x0000 (II) I810(0): Setting dot clock to 108.0 MHz [ 0x10 0x2 0x20 ] [ 18 4 2 ] (II) I810(0): chose watermark 0x22210000: (tab.freq 108.0) (WW) I810(0): xf86AllocateGARTMemory: allocation of 1024 pages failed (Cannot allocate memory) (II) I810(0): No physical memory available for 4194304 bytes of DCACHE (II) I810(0): Adding 0 scanlines for pixmap caching (EE) I810(0): Ring buffer allocation failed Please also check your CMOS settings to ensure adequate memory is assigned to video adaptor via AGP. This happens with kernel-2.4.18-3 (installed with 7.3) and kernel-2.4.18-4 (provided by up2date). agpgart is apparently loaded, according to lsmod. I haven't changed the CMOS settings from the ones that worked under 7.2, but I'll recheck. diogenes% uname -a Linux diogenes 2.4.18-4 #1 Thu May 2 18:47:38 EDT 2002 i686 unknown diogenes% rpm -qa | grep kernel kernel-source-2.4.18-4 kernel-doc-2.4.18-4 kernel-2.4.18-3 kernel-2.4.18-4 diogenes% lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted sd_mod 12928 0 (autoclean) i810_audio 23008 1 (autoclean) ac97_codec 11904 0 (autoclean) [i810_audio] soundcore 6692 2 (autoclean) [i810_audio] agpgart 39488 4 (autoclean) nfsd 76160 8 (autoclean) lockd 56736 1 (autoclean) [nfsd] sunrpc 75764 1 (autoclean) [nfsd lockd] parport_pc 18724 1 (autoclean) lp 8864 0 (autoclean) parport 34208 1 (autoclean) [parport_pc lp] autofs 12164 0 (autoclean) (unused) irlan 26092 0 (unused) irda 117196 0 [irlan] 8139too 16448 1 mii 2408 0 [8139too] ipchains 43560 12 ide-cd 30272 0 (autoclean) cdrom 32192 0 (autoclean) [ide-cd] usb-storage 58156 0 scsi_mod 108608 2 [sd_mod usb-storage] usb-uhci 24484 0 (unused) usbcore 73152 1 [usb-storage usb-uhci] ext3 67136 7 jbd 49464 7 [ext3] Thank you for your prompt response! My BIOS has no provisions for changing any parameters involving the AGP. Please run:

Upgrading to Red Hat 8.0 hasn't made a difference.

Please try the latest developmental XFree86 CVS packages from ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/testing/live-grenades/XFree86 This should solve the problem you're having. Setting bug state to MODIFIED. If the above package works as expected, please close bug as RAWHIDE, or indicate that it is working now. Otherwise if the problem continues, please set to ASSIGNED. I loaded up the packages as requested. (Colormaps are now really freaky in 1280x1024x8bit, by the way. emacs, bugzilla, and console all look okay when I'm focused on them, evolution looks weird even when it has focus.) Installation (rpm -Uvh *.rpm) generated only one error message: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.99506: line 1: xftcache: command not found The system still works in 1280x1024x8 (with the aforementioned colormap freakiness) but fails to do so in 1280x1024x15 or 1280x1024x16. I will attach the files XF86Config.8bit and XFree86.0.log.8bit to show a successful X startup and XF86Config.16bit and XFree86.0.log.16bit to show an unsuccessful one.

Thank you for all your efforts-- I really appreciate this. I have found a rather peculiar workaround. I'm lying to the system about its configuration. Last time I tried this stunt was under Red Hat 7.3, and it failed miserably, as documented above. Lying to Red Hat 8.0 is *much* more effective. I've got antialiased fonts running now, and the xft mozilla 1.2 running just fine. I've got a system uptime of 7 days without any odd behaviors. It's not a fix, but at least it gets the job done. I hope that sheds some light on the matter. Red Hat Linux 7.x and 8.0 are no longer supported by Red Hat. Please upgrade to one of the following OS releases and see if you still encounter this problem: - Red Hat Linux 9 - Red Hat Enterprise Linux (version 3) - Fedora Core 1 Ensure that your system then has all updates installed which have been released by Red Hat since the initial release of the OS version that you are using, and that you've rebooted your system into the newest Red Hat kernel. Also make sure that you are not running any 3rd party kernel modules or video drivers. If the problem still exists in one of the above OS releases under these circumstances, please read the i810 manpage, and see if any of the options it describes might be relevant to the problem you are observing. After experimenting with any useful options, if the problem still exists, please file a new bug report in bugzilla and attach all relevant configuration details, etc. as in this report. You may also want to file a bug report upstream to XFree86.org in their bugzilla, located at: http://bugs.xfree86.org Closing bug WONTFIX currently, as this OS release is no longer supported, and it isn't known wether the problem occurs under a supported OS release yet or not. |
