[gentoo-user] Modular X upgrade

[gentoo-user] Modular X upgrade

[Matthew Daubenspeck]

I've already done the new modular upgrade on several machines and they
all worked perfectly, except my main multi video card machine. I have
some older S3 Virge PCI video cards that aren't playing nice with the
new xorg. 

In VIDEO_CARDS I have nvidia and s3virge, and the proper drivers are
being compiled and are in the correct locations. The nvidia drivers load
fine, but when the S3Virge is attempted, the screen goes black and I
can't recover without a hard reset. Here is last bit of the log:

(II) Loading sub module "vgahw"
(II) LoadModule: "vgahw"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libvgahw.so
(II) Module vgahw: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
        compiled for 7.0.0, module version = 0.1.0
        ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 0.8
(**) S3VIRGE(1): Depth 16, (--) framebuffer bpp 16
(==) S3VIRGE(1): RGB weight 565

(II) Loading sub module "vbe"
(II) LoadModule: "vbe"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libvbe.so
(II) Module vbe: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
        compiled for 7.0.0, module version = 1.1.0
        ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 0.8
(II) Loading sub module "int10"
(II) LoadModule: "int10"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libint10.so
(II) Module int10: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
        compiled for 7.0.0, module version = 1.0.0
        ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 0.8
(II) S3VIRGE(1): initializing int10
(EE) S3VIRGE(1): Cannot read V_BIOS
(--) S3VIRGE(1): Chipset: "virge dx"
(==) S3VIRGE(1): XVideo supported.
(II) S3VIRGE(1): vgaHWGetIOBase: hwp->IOBase is 0x03d0, hwp->PIOOffset is 0x0000
(II) S3VIRGE(1): vgaHWGetIOBase: hwp->IOBase is 0x03b0, hwp->PIOOffset is 0x0000
(II) Loading sub module "ddc"
(II) LoadModule: "ddc"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libddc.so
(II) Module ddc: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
        compiled for 7.0.0, module version = 1.0.0
        ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 0.8

That's where it stops. I've ssh-ed in and tried to kill X (which is
using 100% CPU) but I can never recover without a reset.

Any ideas?

Mount your filesystem with the sync option and you may get more info in
the log.

Thanks,
