 Posted: Sun Jan 20, 2008 9:54 pm Post subject: Resolution problem after upgrade [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hi there,
I have just updated my Tibook (2000 dec, gentoo update on jan 16)
I updated the system without X running so when I started it only 1024x768 resol. was accessible - even when I deleted all the Screen entries from xorg.conf. My display is 1152x768.
The screen is awkward... It is 1024x768. I set the background with bsebg (using blackbox) and It appears in a smaller box. xorg.conf was kept unchanged from the previous configuration and there it was fine.
The error message dropped by X at startx is
| Quote: | (WW) **** INVALID IO ALLOCATION**** b:0xf0000400 e: 0xf00004ff correcting
(EE) end of block range 0xefffffff < begin 0xf0000000
...
(EE) R128(0): FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid argument
/it comes several times/ |

Those messages aren't helpful, can you try two things:
1. See if xac produces an xorg.conf that fixes your problem
2. Post the xorg log file somewhere we can see it.

1. xac couldn't help
2. More info:
The Xorg log-file is here.
The xorg.conf is here
The message of X piped into message.

Your mode lines look wrong. It should be 1152x768, 1151 will not work :p It also looks like you have a typo for the 8 bit mode as well.

OK., you are right, it was my last experiment. But I have tried with 1152x768, in any depth, removing the different depth entries, ultimately removing all.
Setting the default depth to something under 10 is not working.
I have copied the xorg.conf file from the other gentoo I have on this machine and working fine at any level.
The result is the same.
I must believe that not the xorg.conf file is corrupt.
Moreover - even console freezes sometimes.
Now I work without X, using 4 ttys, and sometimes one or the other freezes. I can not reconstuct the error.
Any idea? Recompile something with debug?
Use vanilla?

The nasty line was
| Quote: | Section "Device"
...
Option "UseFBDev" "true"
|
It worked with the previous configuration, but now all is fine only when it is set "false".
(Mine is Ati AGP 2x, 8Mb card, driver r128, early Tibook )
