Created attachment 34051 [details] The Xorg.0.log When I start X the machine halts, the screen goes blank, only a hard reboot makes anything new happen. No log records any error. The i915 module loads, but the problem happens without it. -- chipset: GM45 -- system architecture: i686 -- xf86-video-intel: 2.10.0 (Slackware's package) -- xserver: 4.4rc2 (Slackware's package) -- mesa: 7.7 -- libdrm: 2.4.18 -- kernel: 2.6.33 -- Linux distribution: Slackware 13.2 (kept up-to-date daily) -- Machine or mobo model: eMachines 725-4520 -- Display connector: internal -- Display: 1366x768 LCD
I built xf86-video-intel and libdrm from tarballs that I downloaded 2010 March 15 and still have the same problem, producing the same Xorg.0.log. I welcome debugging hints.
I scheduled a shutdown in 2 minutes, then started X. The scheduled shutdown happened. So it would appear that keyboard input is being ignored (I can't be sure about mouse input) and nothing displays.
If a scheduled shutdown works, you can probably also log in to the target machine and figure out where X is hanging. You can try attaching to it with gdb and/or doing 'cat /proc/`pidof Xorg`/wchan (or `pidof X` if that's how you're calling it). The X log stops right where we first access the framebuffer, which means something is pretty seriously wrong... Can you also attach your dmesg?
Any update here? Hopefully it was just an old bug that's been fixed in more recent kernels and libdrm...
