Xorg.0.log containing backtrace
Workaround: X works after enforcing the use of driver "vesa". No xorg.conf file was present during the crash. Driver "savage" got selected automatically as expected. Neither dmesg nor /var/log/messages show a trace of the crash. In the forums there is a workaround. But still it is a bug I have with my Thinkpad T23 and Fedora 18, too. Here the forums workaround: (copied from here http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=280684#3) POSSIBLE SOLUTION: Turning on the "DisableTile" driver option makes the driver work OK. As root: 1) Install the xorg-x11-drv-savage driver 2) Generate an xconf.org file and copy it to /etc/X11: Code: Xorg :1 -configure # ignore "Configuration failed." message cp xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf 3) Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and uncomment 'Option "DisableTile"' in the 'Section "Device"' that contains the Savage driver options. If you reboot, the driver now works. I also added "DefaultDepth 16" in each of the 'Section "Screen"' sections. I'm not sure if that helps performance or not. This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. I just wanted to inform you, that this bug was finally resolved upstream. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63279#c30 It is not yet included in Fedora 20. An update to versions xf86-video-savage-2.3.7-1 + savage-dri-7.11.2-5 is needed. Thank you. I have just found this bug 1011844 which asks for updating to the upstream version 2.3.7 – hurray! xorg-x11-drv-savage-2.3.7-1.fc20 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 20. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/xorg-x11-drv-savage-2.3.7-1.fc20 xorg-x11-drv-savage-2.3.7-1.fc20 has been pushed to the Fedora 20 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
