I'm trying to upgrade a Debian stable installation on an older
Toshiba S1800 laptop. An upgrade to testing succeeded, however X will
not start anymore and hangs the laptop. Ctrl-Alt-Del, Ctrl-Alt-BkSp,
Ctrl-Alt-F1, and ssh from an other PC don't work so I can not check
the log files. It gives a black screen.

What I tried:

I started with a standard stable installation and added manually
a 2.6.22 kernel and headers from testing to add the rt2x00 wireless
stuff. I compiled the rt2x00 modules successfully with m-a. I can still
use this installation from an other hd partition.

Now my wireless Lan was working, I could update to Lenny, kernels
2.6.22-2 and 2.6.22-3. The upgrade itself was no problem but X stopped
working. The vga server starts, but gives an unusable screen. The trident
and vesa servers both lock up the system, as stated above. X -probeonly
locks the system as well. I don't know where the problem actually is but
I think in the X server itself, as the kernel and the trident driver are
the same in a working stable and failing testing installation.

I'm out of options now, reading the net didn't help me either, so any
help with this problem would be welcome.

Does downgrading *only* xserver-xorg-core to stable (from 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12
to 2:1.1.1-21) fix the problem? For both vesa and trident drivers?

I downloaded to xserver-xorg-core_1.1.1-21etch1_386.deb.

unfortunately not,
X complains about module mismatches:

(EE) module ABI minor version (7) is newer than the server's version (6)
(EE) Failed to load module "kbd" (module requirement mismatch, 0)

the same for modules mouse and synaptics.

it doesn't lock up the system.

Hello,

I also noticed there was a newer xserver-xorg-video-trident package in
unstable.

I updated xserver-xorg (and everything it depends on) via apt-pinning to X
1:7.3+7.

No solution, it locks up the laptop as well.

You probably need to downgrad xserver-xorg-input-kbd, -mouse and
-synaptics to stable/etch as well.

Hello Brice,

Good news,

I did what you proposed and I got X back in the testing installation,
thanks for this workaround.

KDE starts as well,
two minor differences I see at the moment:

1. the asteriskes to hide the password in kdm are replaced by big black filled
circles.

2. the bouncing icons during startup of an application have a weird flickering
background.

I'm willing to spend more time for further testing to trace down this bug in
the testing xserver-xorg-core. Under guidance of an X-guru, as debugging
X-software is not my field.

Thanks again for the workaround.

Ok then the problem is in xserver-xorg-core 1.3 in testing. You could
try 1.2 from
http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2007/02/26/debian/pool/main/x/xorg-server/xserver-xorg-core_1.2.0-4_i386.deb
so that we know more about when the bug appeared?

Also, it would be very nice if you could test xserver-xorg-core 1.4 in
unstable in case
the bug is fixed now. But you will have to upgrade many packages to do
so. Any chance
you could try that?

thanks,
Brice

I already tried that, see one of my earlier mails.
It didn't bring up X in testing.

xserver-xorg-core_1.2.0-4 runs exactly the same as 1.1.1-21etch1,
the same minor imperfections I mentioned before (In KDE).

I removed the synaptics input device from my xorg.conf file,
as this laptop doesn't have one.

I also tried from here, once more, to go to a normal testing installation,
and found out that I actually can ssh into the laptop.

top shows that Xorg consumes 99.5 % CPU time,
and I can kill it.

I go back to the 1.2 solution.

With Xserver 1.3 then? That's an interesting point. Could you log in
through ssh and attach a gdb with
    gdb -p $(pidof X)
then interrupt with ctrl-c, enter 'bt full' to see which code is being
run, then enter 'c' to continue, wait a bit, enter ctrl-c again, enter
'bt full' again ... several times to get several backtraces. If all
backtraces are similar, we may know where the server is stuck.

It would be even better to do that with Xserver 1.4 from unstable.

thanks,

can you install xserver-xorg-core-dbg to get more info in the backtrace?

I was having the same problem on my Toshiba S1800-400 laptop. So far,
however, I was able to run X by starting up with a 1280x1024 (IIRC)
resolution and using the fbdev driver, but that's _really_ sluggish.
Apt-pinning xorg to stable worked just now, and things run much more
smoothly.

I hope I'm not double-posting this, but making sure the extmod module

Yeah, dpkg-reconfigure won't generate that section again for the forseeable
future.

So extmod wasn't loaded for you before? It should be loaded by default
every time. What version of xserver-xorg-core are you running? Can you
attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file?

By the way, I don't think this log shows anything useful, but I know
that before I added the Module section I got errors about the RENDER
extension missing.

You're running Xorg from stable with a config file generated in unstable
or lenny?  That won't work too well, and I don't think it's a bug.

I was simply suffering from the same problem as Bert Verbeek, the
original reporter of this bug, which is why I'm mixing and matching in
the first place.
Providing this information might help other people solve this problem
for the time being (the bug is over a month old now).
Hope a solution will be found at some point, if there's anything I can
do to help, just let me know.

This was reported on Ubuntu as well (* "infinite loop, 99% CPU usage"),
and I've reported it upstream:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14048

The workaround is to use 'Option "NoDCC" for the device.

Bert and Ties,
you might want to try adding
    Option "NoDDC" "true"
to section Device in xorg.conf and see if that helps.

It helps indeed for me,
uptill now its a fine workaround,
both for the 1.3 and 1.4 xservers

I'm back on a regular Lenny distro now.

Bert,

This might be fixed in Xserver 1.5 thanks to some x86emu patches,
could you try the Xorg 7.4 packages using
  deb http://pkg-xorg.alioth.debian.org/7.4/ ./
in /etc/apt/sources.list ?

thanks,
Brice

after strugling with dependencies in aptitude,
I think I've tested your proposal.

Unfortunately, Xorg 7.4 doesn't work for me,
I still have to use: Option "NoDDC" "true", in xorg.conf to get it running.

But there is some difference now,
ssh-ing into the laptop shows an idling machine,
but still no X, Ctrl-Alt 1-6, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, or other controls.

/var/log/Xorg.0.log from a failing session attached,
it may be of help to you.

I have a similar laptop and have encountered this bug. "NoDDC" option has
helped. However, it's a shame that the X.org guys won't do anything about
it.
