Xorg log file

Description of problem:

The X11 server crashes after updating to rhel 5.4.  The Xorg.0.log shows a Signal 11 error and has a backtrace.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

xorg-x11-drv-i810-1.6.5-9.25.el5
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-48.67.el5

How reproducible:

On two out of two machines with intel video cards it happens

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update xorg-x11-drv-i810 to the latest version
2. restart X server
  
Actual results:

Fatal server error:

Expected results:

Additional info:

If I downgrade the xorg-x11-drv-i810 package to xorg-x11-drv-i810-1.6.5-9.21.el5 it works.

xorg.conf file

I've also included the xorg.conf used.  This is the default file that was generated during install.  I saw the Xorg.0.log file mentioned no Monitor section being defined.  But even if I do specify one, the Backtrace still occurs.

Proposed patch

This patch seems to fix the issue.

Comment 7 Doug Kelly 2009-09-18 14:05:42 UTC
I've also noticed this issue, and attached my logs on bug 524242 -- I didn't see this one while searching before.

I'll try the proposed patch and see how it goes.

Yes, bug 524242 should be marked as a dup of this one indeed, it is the same chipset/symptoms/backtrace.

Comment 9 Steve Cleveland 2009-09-18 19:29:05 UTC
Can you make a package with this patch?  Or I can wait for Doug to test it first.  Thanks.

Comment 10 Doug Kelly 2009-09-18 19:58:05 UTC
I've actually gone ahead and tested already--works just fine.  I did build up an RPM in the process for our use internally, but I'd probably be more apt to let the Red Hat engineers provide a package.

Comment 12 Matthew Miller 2009-10-28 19:01:44 UTC
I came across this issue today as well. Will try to test the patch.

Comment 13 Matthew Miller 2009-10-29 20:53:44 UTC
I built an RPM with the patch, and can confirm that it corrects the problem. Thanks.

Comment 15 Dave Airlie 2009-12-15 22:36:12 UTC
Yeah it looks like we got half a backport from upstream,

the code to add/remove i2c buses around the crt detect, but not the new crt edid get function from upstream.

Either this patch or backporting the rest of the CRT detct code should fix the issue.
