My bad! Only on running X. The framebuffer (KMS) is fine. No flickering there.

Yeah, same here... |
details would help |
Its not bootable, and does not give any kind of error message. It just says that it is going to boot the bzImage, gives the referent line from grub.conf, and then does nothing more.

Works fine here on my 945GME. Are you using latest libdrm, xserver, and xf86-video-intel?

| Code: |
x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.7.1
x11-base/xorg-server-1.6.2-r1
x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.12
media-libs/mesa-7.5_rc4
|
I rebuilt all these packages, and it still does not do anything.
And big correction, I just saw that the KMS framebuffer also filckers - not as often as X, but it does.
And Need4Speed, are you using KMS?

My p54usb crash is gone in 2.6.31rc4-zen1 
Now I'm getting dmesg spam of "tx refused but queue active", and the stuff in the git log seems to suggest it won't be fixed for .31 
Oh well, at least it's not crashing. |

My screen still flickers with -rc4. Seems folks over at Ubuntu 9.10 are having the same problem (945 only it seems).
Tomorrow, I will search if there is a kernel/Xorg bugzilla for it.

Hi,
I would appreciate to see 2.630-zen1 being updated (if there is no reason for not doing that) as i just came across that on lkml.org:
| Quote: |
Date Sun, 19 Jul 2009 21:08:13 -0700
From Greg KH <>
Subject Linux 2.6.30.2
I'm announcing the release of the 2.6.30.2 kernel. All users of the
2.6.30 kernel series are very strongly encouraged to upgrade.
I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between
2.6.30.1 and 2.6.30.2 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/20/3) |
Thanks in advance,
mantoo |

hi mantoo, if you have particular issues with zen1 and want checkout a newer kernel I can suggest you in the meantime to try checkin' out master-2.6.30: there's already a zen2 testing and next patches will be submitted by zen developers in that head 
and remember that weekend has started  |

not having any issues with 2.6.30-zen1 as it´s running flawlessly for me; but last time i tried 2.6.31-rcX i had that flickering-problem too, so i decided to wait until this is being fixed.
thanks 4 your advise though - gonna give it a try this weekend |

just to say I am trying 2.6.30-zen2 on a E4 EStation with a tesla board (used for chemical cuda computations)
bad thing klive counts only the xeon cpus and not gpus 
EDIT: 2.6.30-zen2 is not out yet, this is only the testing stuff in git.

there's no official 2.6.30-zen2 patch: I've diffed it from git, checking out master-2.6.30, as I told mantoo some messages ago.
also zen people don't like others to post unofficial patches (on which they offer no support). |

hello...
i was wondering whether it's possible to patch zen-sources to make them xen-hypervisor aware (so that they can be used to build a xen host kernel) |

You can try copying the whole drivers/gpu directory from 2.6.30.4 vanilla, there were changes made upstream that are incompatible with updates rmh made previously :O

i just checked 2.6.30-gentoo-r4 and it has another drm code. at least with gentoo sources i can compile x11-drm-99999999 but with zen's - nothing.
i can make more tests in 6 hours.

I take back that last post, it's not fixed at all. 
Going to try it with a vanilla kernel and see if that works.
Update: -rc5 is fine. Will try messing with config settings later to see if that's the problem.
Update again: Never mind... vanilla crashed eventually too. |
