Looks actually similar to bug 515755 that I had reported for an ATI Radeon X800. Same issue for xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.8.0-9.fc12.i686. The xterm cursor cannot even be moved now. Created attachment 364861 [details]
Xorg.0.log with backtrace for Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device rev 3
Issue persists for current "rawhide" including packages:
- kernel-PAE-2.6.31.4-80.fc12.i686
- libdrm-2.4.14-1.fc12.i686
- mesa-libGL-7.6-0.13.fc12.i686
- xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.9.0-2.fc12.i686
- xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.0-1.fc12.i686
X still locks up for current "rawhide" including packages: - compiz-0.8.2-18.fc12.i686 - kernel-PAE-2.6.31.5-97.fc12.i686 - libdrm-2.4.15-1.fc12.i686 - mesa-libGL-7.6-0.13.fc12.i686 - xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.9.1-1.fc12.i686 - xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.0-1.fc12.i686 However, system can still be reached through the network and rebooted in a controlled manner. Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major updates in various components of the Xorg system, which may have resolved this issue. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade their system to the latest version of their packages (at least F12Beta, but even better if the very latest versions). Please, if you experience this problem on the up-to-date system, let us now in the comment for this bug, or whether the upgraded system works for you. If you won't be able to reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you. [This is a bulk message for all open Fedora Rawhide Xorg-related bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.] Created attachment 367829 [details]
ABRT backtrace related to desktop effects
Current "rawhide" behaves already much better. X tries to enable destop effects, the screen flashes, and the user is then asked whether he wants to keep the current settings. There is no window decorator and no noticeable desktop effect. The setting in the desktop effects applet is "Compiz" though. Disabling desktop effects then reverts to the previous situation with metacity as winodw manager. File ".xsession-errors" shows an error message. ABRT produces a backtrace which points to a MESA issue. Thus, the current issue is resolved, and the bug can be closed. A new bug against package "mesa" needs to be opened though.
Although the bug is closed I still have the same problem with i845 rev 01. (Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01) ) Smolt profile : http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_50c9b678-9c49-4072-b7a6-c5eb9a36c342 Tested with desktop-i386-20091107.20.iso from http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ Freshly installed and updated Fedora 12 still has the bug. Attempting to enable compiz locks up X, cannot kill or switch consoles. No xvideo. 82845G rev 01 compiz-0.8.2-21.fc12.i686 xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.9.1-1.fc12.i686 mesa-libGL-7.7-3.fc12.i686 kernel-2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.i686 libdrm-2.4.17-1.fc12.i686 Smolt Profile: http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_ab0527d2-5707-489e-9071-d597f6925539 Setting "nomodeset" on kernel restores xvideo, but compiz still locks up, and additionally, X locks up even when not running compiz. That is another bug. |
Created attachment 357483 [details] Xorg.0.log with backtrace for Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device rev 3 Description of problem: After a fresh install from the Fedora development tree, enabling "Desktop Effects" lock up X on an "Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device rev 3". Only an ibeam style cursor is visible on top of an empty background. Switching to a VT is not possible. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.8.0-6.fc12.i686 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable desktop effects. Actual results: GNOME desktop disappears. An ibeam style cursor is visible in front of the background and can be moved but no other action can be taken. Expected results: Desktop effects get enabled. Additional info: - Desktop effects with active KMS used to work in F11 on this system.
