Re: Problems with kernel 3.1 and vaio Z21 (2011)

 

Yes,

Maybe I should try to strip out the other patches. It really sounds like you have achieved a stable system somehow :)

I will keep digging and recompiling.. Thanks for the input btw!

Nice weekend to everyone on the list!

Nicklas,
Yeah, I forgot you were on Arch. I don't know a ton about Arch (I only have a linhes box that runs it and I rarely have to touch it:-). I am running Ubuntu 11.04. I wonder if it could be some of the aur patches. For example, I only used the vaio patch on the vanilla torvalds 3.1.0-rc-6 kernel. I noticed that the aur package had another i915 patch but it didn't appear to be relevant so I didn't apply it. I only recompiled the mesa git pull using make linux-dri-x86-64. I'm not sure how to proceed troubleshooting this. But at least your "stable" mesa works for now correct?

    Hi,

    Well, my build is based on this package:
    http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/me/mesa-git/PKGBUILD

    And then I also compile all the dri, drm, gl, intel and the likes
    from GIT. There are packages for that too on AUR...

    They are installed and replace all the stable drivers of the same
    name. But maybe i did something wrong, or missed a package :)

    Nicklas, I'm sorry to hear that. Just a question what was your
    make statement? I have been using make "linux-dri-x86-64". I
    wonder what the difference could be. Also are you running it out
    of /usr/local? or did you change the configs/default to /usr?

        Hi,

        Just followed your "advice" and tried the latest mesa HEAD...
        That did not turn out the way I expected.

        1. My GDM crashes are now happening very frequent, even
        without going to pages with flash. It can happen at basically
        any time - while switching workspaces or dragging windows around
        2. The issue with my external monitor on HDMI is still
        present (black screen on login)...
        3. The drawing of my desktop seems nicer on the external
        monitor, however, on the build in screen it's the same.

        Have not tried 3d performance though... I have reverted to
        stable Q3 release for now. Might try again in a few weeks.

        4. recompiled removed the proprietary fglrx driver now I
        have 3d working. ExtremeTuxRacer now gets 60 FPS. So I am
        still running mesa 7.12-dev, but it seems to be working now.

            Do you have a dhcp or static IP address ?

                Rendering problem: haven't noticed...
                Random crash: sometimes. but not really noticeable.


            Is flash installed or not ?

                I do have the mtrr errors:

                $ dmesg | grep -i mtrr
                [    0.000000] MTRR default type: uncachable
                [    0.000000] MTRR fixed ranges enabled:

                [    2.603613] mtrr: no more MTRRs available
                [    2.603618] [drm] MTRR allocation failed.
                 Graphics performance may suffer.


                $ sudo cat /proc/mttr
                cat: /proc/mttr: No such file or directory


            Ah sorry, I misspelled the command, it is:
            cat /proc/mtrr

                And 3d graphics are not that great. Extreme Tux
                Racer I get like 2 FPS. Actually now I can't even
                get glxinfo to show... I wonder what I did...


            Try with default drm and mesa packages if you have
            compiled your own (maybe you can install packages from
            11.10).
