 Posted: Thu Jan 20, 2005 4:18 pm Post subject: X Freezing, mouse still moves, b/g processes still going |
 |
|
Hi all! I decided to start this new thread as a split from this one: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=198023&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0.
It looks like that thread is an amalgam of several different problems with similar symptoms. I think if we gather up everybody with the exact same issue, we can get this thing resolved!
So here is my problem:
Whenever I run Xorg, it will lockup after 2-3 minutes, regardless of what I am doing in it, as long as I am doing something. And when it does lock up, the mouse pointer still moves, but I can click on anything. Also, it appears that the machine still functions, and only X is hosed, because if I happen to be compiling something, or if I am playing an mp3, it will continue to do these things.
So, post here if you have the following symptoms:
- Xorg locks up
- Mouse still moves but can't click and keyboard won't respond
- Certain services still run while X is frozen
Also, try to post some specific info about your machine:
KERNEL: development-sources 2.6.11_rc1
XORG: 6.8.1.901-r1
GCC: 3.4.3-r1
GLIBC: 2.3.4.20041102 with NPTL support compiled in
NVIDIA-KERNEL: 1.0.6629-r1
CPU: Pentium4 2.0GHz Northwood core
RAM: 512(2x256)MB DDR333
CHIPSET: SiS 645
VIDEO CARD: BFG GeForce 6800GT OC
Let's see if we can't put our heads together and come up with some solutions.

I don't think I posted in that other thread, and I know it's too long to read this morning.
But all I wanted to contribute is I was having those issues for a few days after switching to 2.6.X and xorg with the same video card as you. I removed agpgart completely from my kernel and all has been well since.

Really? Now that, I haven't tried. Do you do any gaming on your rig? I'm worried about a performance hit. But I will still try that. If I have to, I can always game in WinXP *grumble*.
The really odd thing is, I have run other distros, like Slackware, Fedora, LFS...and had no problems. But I will try that. Thanks for the input! |

i started noticing the same locksup after upgrading from 2.6.6 to 2.6.9 or later. but i am not sure its because of the kernel upgrade or because i also upgraded to gcc 3.3.5. I am also using nvidia's drivers, so it could be an issue with nvidia not playing nicely with the new kernel.
Also, my lockups occur after about 2 days of uptime. |

| I was thinking it may be an nvidia problem too, but I'm not certain yet, because things are fine in other distros. I need to check which specific GCC version I have in the other distros, I think might be the source of the problem, but again, not sure. I know I used the 2.6.9 kernel with my LFS distro and had no problems with X. |

If you think your problem is different, why do you use the same thread title?

| It is an issue with Xorg or the way Xorg was compiled, from what I can gather. And I mostly started the new thread because the other one was getting bloated and not everybody was having the same problem. It seemed like some were getting true system hang ups, where nothing would work. The main symptom seems to be that your mouse will still move and processes are still running in the background. |

But you haven't answered my question. Can't you think of a more specific thread subject? Two threads treating similar problems and with the same title are prone to bring confusion.

yes sir, hence the kickass video card.  And yeah, it did much better after taking that outta the kernel. I put Option "NvAGP" "1" in my xorg.conf in the Device section to use nvidia agp. I get better framerates and stability. ymmv.

| Well srlinuxx, here is your cookie! lol I tried what you said and my system is 100% stable now. Although I just realized I set NvAGP to 2 instead of 1, but it still works and I'll change that later. Thanks! |

hmmm, that's weird, cuz option 2 tells X to use system/kernel agp.  oh well, if it works, then I'd go with it. Are you getting decent framerates outta your games without freeze-ups like that?

Yep, everything is finally running smoooooth. Good thing too...I like portage too much to ever go back to Slackware or LFS. And Windows...well...no need to explain there. lol
I was pretty nervous about it working, since I was running out of options. I made the changes, started up X, and started running glxgears, XMMS on a loop, and started compiling some other software, just to see if I could get it to freeze again. I ran off to cook dinner and kept asking my wife "Are the gears still spinning???" lol |

teehee. that is wonderful news. perhaps taking agpgart outta the kernel completely kinda renders the NvAGP option unnecessary. I mean it kinda makes sense if it does.

| Well, I tried to set NvAGP to "1", but when I do that, X won't load. I just get a black screen. I check the log file but there are no errors, it just stops. It will load with NvAGP 2, but if I do cat /proc/bus/agp/status (I think that's the command) it says AGP is disabled. Any ideas? |

Well, I never had much luck with the nvidia ebuilds and I never investigated why. I just don't use them. I'd unmerge them and use the drivers from nvidia's site. You still may have to do that opengl-update thing tho, but I never did not using the ebuilds to begin with.
If that fails for you, perhaps post your xorg.conf. Also double check the kernel version number you previously posted and post your kernel version. I don't know if your sis chip is getting in way or not. perhaps google and see if it's been reported by other people. I run a kt400 with an amd barton.

Have you tried a kernel without agpart?
| Code: | Linux agpgart interface v0.100 (c) Dave Jones
agpgart: Detected SiS 645 chipset
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 439M
agpgart: AGP aperture is 128M @ 0xe0000000
NVRM: not using NVAGP, AGPGART is loaded!!

Yep, that is the error without AGPGART in the kernel. If I do have AGPGART compiled in or loaded as a module, X will lock up after a few minutes of use. I have this line
in my xorg.conf, which I put in by mistake, it should have been a 1 instead of a 2. 2 loads AGPGART, and results in the error. But if I set it to 1, it *should* load NVIDIA AGP support. But when I try to start X, it just sits there with a black screen. |

It's still in there. You may have to open /usr/src/linux/.config in an editor and put a N beside it cuz even if you build it as a module it'll get used no matter what you tell X. but yeah, it's still in there or else you wouldn't be getting: | Code: |

| my problem was solved by turning off acpi and apm. every two days or so xorg would lock up, i am guessing it was because of nvidia and apm/acpi, but i have no idea. |

Oh yeah, I took them outta the kernel a while back cuz I have an old old monitor and it's easier on it just to leave it on! but I never got lock ups using it. I started getting lock ups with new video card. again, one has to experiment with what works best with their chipset. I don't have any experience with sis.

Hmm...maybe I will try that too. I find them annoying too. My comp is on 24/7 and even if I'm not at it, it's usually doing *something*, so I prefer the monitor to be all the time so I can glance at it. I know I have APM disabled, but I will try ACPI.
I'm so glad I switched to Linux. I learn by breaking things and fixing them, and with Windoze, it seems like things break just because they suck. Not much potential for learning. At least with Linux, things break for reasons that you can actually discover on your own. All hail the mighty penguin! |
