 Posted: Fri Jun 04, 2004 5:53 pm Post subject: Xorg crashes with no explanation |
 |
|
I'm setting up gentoo on my amd64 notebook and when I try to run Xorg, I see the nvidia splash screen, then it goes black and crashes. Other than the bit about a "signal 11" it doesn't give any indication of why it failed to run. Do any of you have an idea why?
I've included most of the Xorg.log file and my xorg.conf file below.

| I had a similar problem with my system after trying Xorg-X11. My system uses a SiS 330 ("Xabre") video card. It turns out the problem was due to recent changes in the way the framebuffer and X drivers communicate. The fix was to upgrade my kernel framebuffer drivers using a version posted on the original author's Web site; however, a workaround was to disable the kernel framebuffer drivers by not compiling them at all. Thus, you might give that a try, although I can't promise it'll work. You might also look for upgraded framebuffer and/or X drivers. Another option might be to compile in framebuffer drivers and try the X framebuffer driver rather than the X driver for managing your hardware directly. |

I get that SAME exact error! If you disable the synaptics driver from being used it will load up with out any problems. But of course this is not a solution because we want to use our touchpads to their full capacity! For now change the driver from synaptics to mouse and disable all the options that pertain to the driver.
Well; I've heard that there are problems with synaptic drivers running in 64bit systems; they cause seg faults in the nvidia driver. But I can't be 100% sure with out testing that theory out...
anyways if you find a solution post here; I would also like to take care of this. |

If I could just use the touchpad as a mouse, I would.
On my previous notebook, I just used the normal PS/2 settings and the touchpad worked great. It even accepted taps as left-clicks and continued scrolling when I got to the edge.
I'll try using regular PS2 settings with the /dev/input/event0 device this afternoon when I get home. Hopefully that will work. |

|
|
I have treid to use the synaptics driver for my new hp amd64 laptop, to no avail. I have found that the touchpad will work for mousing, and tapping, but not scrolling if you add the following statement to you kernel at boot. I use grub and what you do is hit the "e" arrow down to the kernel line and add "i8042.nomux" to the end of it. Then enter and "b" boot it. Works fine after that. And I have also had trouble getting the 15.4" WXGA screen to work on nvidia with the 6629 drivers, but rolling back to the 6111 drivers, it works just grand at 1280x800.
Hope any of this helps.

Keyboard had a general driver name change I believe. The new name is kbd instead of keyboard
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "kbd"
# Option "Protocol" "Xqueue"
Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"
# Option "LeftAlt" "Meta"
# Option "RightAlt" "ModeShift"
# Option "XkbDisable"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

Are you running devfs or udev??
I am running a pure udev system and for it my mouse name needs to be thus
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
Option "Resolution" "256"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
# Option "Protocol" "Xqueue"
EndSection

Now there have been issues with the AGPGART on AMD64 so it could also be that try
this discussion it may help
EDITED: because sentences where not clear in meaning and to fix typos |

Hello,
I have the same problem using synaptics-0.14, Xorg-6.8.1.901-r1, ATI-8.8.25-r3 and kernel-2.6.10-r7, but It worked with Xorg 6.8.0, anybody got it to work with this specs? Should I upgrade to Xorg-6.8.2?
regards,
Cliff |

just like to say i have the exact same problem.
I'm using native amd64, so I have latest version of Xorg 6.8.0, I had synaptics and alp patch 0.13.* yestersay and it worked fine. emerged 0.14 and for some reason 0.13 stopped working (didnt think the emerge would affect anything). Tried for a good while to get 0.14 to work but ended up giivng up. Xorg log file had nothing of use except connection reset by peer, and it crashed on the synaptics part :/ |

Same problem. Segfaults as soon as it hits the synaptics driver.... which is prolly why it is masked.

| so that line at boot stops synaptics from seg faulting? or just fixes your scroll problem? Cause i only had a problem with double tapping in the last drivers (0.13.6)... |

Does anybody else have a solution for this? Even with the nomux module parameter I cannot use the synaptics driver with my touchpad.
Any help would be apreciated.
Thanks,
Andre

Just a minor update:
Looking into the synaptics source code, the call to xf86CollectInputOptions() crashes the X server - or all following X server calls.
Maybe it's a problem linking into the X libs?
Also, somebody in a different thread mentionend it might be a GCC 3.4 incompatibility problem and suggested differend CFLAGS. I've tried it with just "-march=athlon64" without success.
Cheers,
Andre

Yet another update:
I've worked with Peter Oesterlund on fixing the problem with sunaptics 0.14.0 and Gentoo. He's released an updated version (0.14.1), which contains an updated Makefile and an additional symlink in the archive to make it work out of the box.
The ebuild isn't updated yet, at the time of posting, but synaptics 0.14.1 will work great under Gentoo.
Thanks Peter for all the hard work on the synaptics driver!
Cheers,
Andre
PS: ChangeLog for synaptics is here: http://web.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/files/changes.txt
