[Problem]
X hangs during boot with error "Couldn't bind memory for BO front buffer"

[Report]
Regression since 2.4.1 driver seen in 2.5.1 driver on 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE hardware.  X hangs during start up and the following error message appears in the Xorg.0.log:

(EE) intel(0): Failed to pin front buffer: Cannot allocate memory

Fatal server error:
Couldn't bind memory for BO front buffer

Two other users indicated having a matching issue; one user was also on
845, the other on undeclared hardware.

No xf86-video-intel 2.5.0+ works for me.

Geez, hit the "Commit"-button too fast. Sorry guys.

It's a 2.6.28 kernel using (read: trying to use) xf86-video-intel 2.5.0,
Xorg 1.5.3, libdrm 2.4.4.

it works with NoAccel with cca 150-200 FPS.
I use fbsplash on console (intelfb module). Tried unloading this module and starting X with no success.

the system is unusable after this error, no mouse/keyboard input
response (sysrq and power button work i guess).

just tell me if you need more info/debugging. this bug is quite critical
(not just) for me.

An update over my previous comment.
I edited xorg.conf and set explicitly for the intel driver to use UXA acceleration (it doesn't use it automatically). That way I am able to boot to a 2.6.28 kernel and use my desktop. There are some problems but X is up and running and this is generally considered as a good thing!

Sorry I hadn't tried this earlier since it is mentioned in the comments
above, but I was somewhat confused by the intel driver's documentation
as the man page (up to version 2.6.1) doesn't include UXA as a possible
option to AccelMethod.

seems the drm(20060810) is not compatible with new i915(20080730).

I also suffered from this bug.
But recently I found out, that it only happened, when there is a "Virtual"-option in my Xorg.conf:
Section "Screen"
	Identifier "Screen0"
	Device     "Device0"
	Monitor    "LVDS"
	DefaultDepth     24
	SubSection "Display"
		Modes "1280x800_60"
		Virtual 2960 1056
	EndSubSection
EndSection

When I removed the Virtual-option, everything went fine.

The other day i reinstalled my system (Arch Linux) and installed the newest packages from the testing-repository.
Namely those packages are:
xf86-video-intel 2.6.99.902-1
libdrm 2.4.5-2
mesa 7.3-2
xorg-server 1.6.0-1

After a few changes in my Xorg.conf I came to these settings:
Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Device0"
	Driver "intel"
	Option "Legacy3D" "true"
	Option "DRI" "true"
        Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
        Option "ExaNoComposite" "true"    
EndSection

I put the Virtual-section back in - I need my 22" lcd ;)

And what do my eyes see?
Everything works!

I also tried the latest xf86-video-intel via GIT. Same thing there.
I installed ioquake3 - and woohoo! 90fps.

Everything's great right now.

Maybe someone could try those Xorg.conf-settings and the latest git-
version.

Regards,
karsten

This solution is not workable for me with xf86-video-intel-2.6.1 and
kernel-2.6.28.8 :(

I just replicated this part of the bug at least, (with all the latest
userspace, such as xf86-video-intel 2.7.99 from git), and a non-GEM
Debian kernel (2.6.26-2-686).

Eric suggests that when the userspace opens the drm and finds that it's
non-GEM it should just close it. I'll attempt that here and report back.

Eric had some half-finished patches for this which I finished and pushed
(see below).

With these patches applied, the latest driver from git now runs just
fine on the non-GEM Debian kernel (2.6.26-2-686). I'd be very interested
if other people that have experienced the bugs reported here could try
using the latest driver and report back whether the bug is fixed.

I'll also consider cherry-picking the relevant commits here to the 2.7
branch for an upcoming 2.7.2 release.

Here's the "see below" part I forgot to add with the last comment.

commit 8e942b70cb9a784b3f1311affd6fc74c4bcf68bb
Author: Carl Worth <cworth@xxxxxxxxxx>

    Revert "Rely on BO pixmaps being present in acceleration paths."
    
    This reverts commit 4653a7db622ad54a3182d93c81331765d930db34.
    
    Eric was getting a little too ambitious about our brave, new world.
    We do still want the driver to work with old, non-GEM kernels
    after all.

commit 1a039f4371bec455cad43f0fb7b329f2ee09a974
Author: Eric Anholt <eric@xxxxxxxxxx>

    Fold GEM detection into DRM master open.
    
    We don't have anything to do with the DRM unless it's GEM-enabled, unless
    we were to support GEM-but-not-DRI2, which doesn't seem useful.
    
    Compilation fixes by Carl Worth <cworth@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit a04a51c9bb6066454e0fda3c7897f97dab436358
Author: Eric Anholt <eric@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Mon Apr 27 17:29:36 2009 -0700

    Open the DRM and keep the handle throughout server startup to finish.
    
    This will let us configure the server from start to finish with the
    most pertinent information available (KMS vs UMS, DRI2 vs non-DRI).  Also,
    we now close the DRI2 fd at terminate, which we didn't before.
    
    This duplicates some code from DRI1 for getting a master FD like I'd done in
    DRI2, but given that we weren't loading DRI1 ourselves, this is also a
    bogosity cleanup, and avoids allocating the extra DRI1 private.
