Description Mary Ellen Foster 2009-04-18 09:48:34 UTC
Created attachment 340140 [details]
Xorg.0.log with a couple of xrandr commands

Description of problem:
Every time I run xrandr, I get hundreds of messages in /var/log/messages and /var/log/dmesg that look like this:

localhost kernel: X:2788 freeing invalid memtype eefdf000-eefe0000

Here are the details of my graphics card:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)

I'll attach my /var/log/Xorg.0.log; I don't use an xorg.conf

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.6.99.902-3.fc11.i586

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run xrandr, with or without arguments
  
Actual results:
Screen flashes several times, and many messages get written to the logs

Expected results:
It just tells me about the devices attached to my computer

NB: I think this is now gone with xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.7.0-1.fc11.x86_64, but I'll need to double check later this evening.

Comment 2 Adam Jackson 2009-04-23 19:44:42 UTC
Would actually be a kernel bug, but yes, should be fixed:

* Sat Apr 18 2009 Kyle McMartin <kyle> 2.6.29.1-100
- pat-remove-page-granularity-tracking-for-vm_insert_pfn_maps.patch:
   Fix the spew of "Xorg:3254 freeing invalid memtype" messages.
