Hi all, This is going to be talking about how to test the newest X.org for your system. I had been having issues with having a GUI on my system on jaunty so had to do the same. Tormod Volden has been pretty helpful to get this working for me.

First some resources

https://wiki.edubuntu.org/XorgOnTheEdge

https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-x/

IRC channel :- @ freenode #ubuntu-xSo from the page https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive here's the list one has to do. Some things could have been explained better which is not therein.

a. First add the Xorg jaunty archives either through System > Administration > Software Sources or /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ubuntu jaunty main

deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ubuntu jaunty main b. Then either Reload or run sudo apt-get update

c. Then install drm-modules-source

 $ sudo apt-get install drm-modules-source

What works is :-

$ sudo env DRM_MODULES="i915" module-assistant -t auto-install drm-modules

After few minutes you get a drm-modules-2.6.28-2-ub-generic (depending on the kernel chosen)

If not there is a build log which one can use to find out what the issues are at /var/cache/modass/ named something like drm-modules-source kernel-version buildlog (some numbers)

For instance

drm-modules-source.buildlog.2.6.28-2-ub-generic.1228922933

The buildlog would be something like this

As can be seen there were errors in making this build.

One thing I didn't know what the drm module I use

Tromod gave this command to try on a stable system to see what module is being used.

As I have Intrepid on another hard disk I tried it on :-

$ lsmod | grep ^drm
drm                    86056  3 i915

Now do an upgrade either through the Update manager or through command-line 

$ sudo apt-get safe-upgrade

mesa-utils libpixman-1-0 libglu1-mesa xserver-common libx1-dev libdrm-intel1 mesa-common mesa-common-dev xserver-xorg-core libdrm2 libglu1-mesa-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-glx libxi6 xserver-xorg-video-intelRebooted, got the login screen but couldn't get the keyboard or the mouse to function.

Talking with Tromod on IRC came to know that xserver-xorg-input-evdev also needed to be done. Till that time the Warning now shown on Xorg-edgers-archive was not visisble so had to resort to 

$ apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-input-evdev

xserver-xorg-input-evdev:
  Installed: 1:2.1.0-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1:2.1.0-0ubuntu1
  Version table:

So installed it 

$ sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-evdev=1:2.1.0~git-0ubuntu0tormod

The only major annonyance was that while using gnome-terminal whenever I used the up arrow key I would get this error message.

[COLOR=Sienna]no command 33 has been defined [/COLOR] With Metacity written on the window.

Going back to the main archive was a little harder. This you should do after rebooting in an non-GUI single user mode/rescue mode environment.

remove or comment the archive files, remove the drm-modules-2.6.28-2-ub-generic (or whichever kernel version you are trying with) , do an apt-cache policy of each file and get the one which is in archive. For e.g. 

$ sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-evdev=1:2.1.0-0ubuntu1
#2

Makefile:154: *** Cannot find a kernel config file. Stop.

The DRM modules fail to build. I have the kernel header packages.

Hi ShirishAg75, I have been trying out the new xserver 1.6 from the PPA repository,but with no success.

I have followed the howto,and one of the links,but I'm still not getting the login screen.

I'm currently using Kubuntu Jaunty Jackalope Alpha 1 and the binary nvidia 180.11 driver from the NVnews.net website.

I have attached my xorg.0.log with this post.

Regards, STEVE555

#4

WindowSucks, do you have nvidia. Nvidia has issues. STEVE555 even yours has the same issue. Refer to the lines with [EE]


(EE) Failed to load module "nv" (module requirement mismatch, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.

$ sudo env DRM_MODULES="i915" module-assistant -t auto-install drm-modules

I don't have any ATI or nvidia hardware hence don't have much idea how things run therein, sorry

#5

Does i945 use i915?

#6

SIZE="1"[/SIZE]

'Fraid not, I have an Intel 945, for which the DRM module is i915, but that would not change the result of the command anyway, as all attempts to build the DRM modules fail, even when I don't specify which one to try and build (the module is supposed to build normally without that added argument, simply with sudo module-assistant auto-install drm-modules).

Beyond that, having the kernel source tree interfered with the process, as it only needs the headers. Now my problem comes down to this:

Bad luck, the kernel headers for the target kernel version could not be found 
and you did not specify other valid kernel headers to use.
      

If the running kernel has been shipped with the Debian distribution, please 
install the package linux-headers-2.6.28-2-ub-generic. If your kernel source 
tree (or headers) is located in some non-usual location, please set the 
KERNELDIRS environment variable to the path of this directory, or 
(alternatively) specify the source directory we build for with the --kernel-dir
option in module-assistant calls.

(There are no nVidia drivers in the xorg-edgers PPA, by the way, it's just intel and radeon)

e: I'll also try to help you out: Anything other than evdev is disabled in X these days. Chances are your keyboard is set to something other than the evdev layout, and a side effect happens to be the up arrow key being assigned to "Print Screen". "Print Screen" is command 33 in Metacity.

#7

The drivers have to be rebuilt against the new 1.6 xserver. If you are using binary-only drivers, forget about it. Buy your hardware from companies who support open-source development.

The current nv kernel module does not build with the 2.6.28 kernel, therefore you have to specify which modules to build, otherwise it will try to build all of them, and fail on nv50...

You can also try without building new drm modules.

If the running kernel has been shipped with the Debian distribution, please install the package linux-headers-2.6.28-2-ub-generic. If your kernel source Sounds like you didn't get the newest kernel package, there should be no "-ub" in the version.

Right. It's a bug in 1.6 beta, they're fixing it upstream.

#9

-snip-

e: After realizing that module-assistant is completely broken, I just extracted the module archive, cd'd into it, and built it manually. It's working... sort of. I'm getting horribly slow framerates, with or without UXA/DRI2 enabled, and I think one of the X updates screwed up my input as my mouse keeps flickering elsewhere. Definitely not a good situation, and I may have to revert back to the vanilla X server in the Jaunty repos.

#10

I just updated the original post to show a build failure as well as where to find the buildlog . Should make it easier for troubleshooting stuff.

#11

Ug... I have to say, I'm having significantly better luck using the vesa drivers at the moment than either set of Intel drivers...

#12

Hi guys, I've managed to find a partial solution to my problem,here's what I did. 1)I selected the single-user-mode to my latest kernel and booted into it. 2)in recovery mode I selected drop into a root shell and typed in my password. 3)I then typed in``` init 3

4)When I got to tty 3,I typed in my username and password and typed in ```
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop

5)I re-installed my Nvidia binary driver again and typed in startx,but it was still complaining the ABI version was still different.So I ran this: 6)``` startx -- -ignoreABI


I would need some help in getting that option to stick to boot into the ordinary kernel,and I have to report that the new Xorg loads a lot slower than the previous version.Also my keyboard mapping seems to be different,and I don't know which package I would need to correct it.

Regards,
       STEVE555
#13

The keymapping issues are reported upstream, see http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-December/041473.html It did not get fixed in xserver 1.6 beta 3, but hopefully soon. There are reasons these are test packages and not released yet :)

For those not comfortable with package manipulation and a bit of debugging, I can't recommend installing the xorg-edgers packages. On the edge means unreleased, not well tested, and there be bugs. But sometimes it works beautifully and you get better performance than in the old, released, stable versions. And some old bugs are fixed (some replaced by new ones).

As written on the web page, the recommended testing is via the live CD, that's safe and after a reboot you're back to normal.

Of course, Ubuntu and upstream developers are very glad for your early testing and the feedback you can provide on the edgy stuff.

#14

I had DRI2 working before with my R500, but now it is broken. Also, I can't get glx to load. 

Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

I am also having that freakin annoying problem with my up arrow. Can't wait for it to be fixed upstream. Any temporary fixes?

Also, it seems that the new tear-free video option EXAVSync breaks the new xserver... that or some of the packages in the PPA are not new enough. Granted, I think I remember it working last time. Is it working for anyone else?

#15

Hi Tormod, I can give some feedback,I have attached my xorg.o.log and my nvidia-bug-report.log(even though the last one is usually required in the Nvforums which I'm a member of)

If you need nay other logs,I'll try and provide some more if I can.

Regards, STEVE555

Build successful.

Why are you trying to run the Nvidia binary driver on a git X-Server? IMO, Nvidia takes time to support new X-Servers completely and only do so after they are released(same applies for ATi), so while it is possible to run the driver, it may create bugs which may not really be bugs. If you want to use the X-Server properly, I think you should stick either to the nouveau or nv driver.

And about your nv problem, it is probably because you did not update the nv driver package according to:-

(EE) module ABI major version (4) doesn't match the server's version (5)
(II) UnloadModule: "nv"
(II) Unloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nv_drv.so
(EE) Failed to load module "nv" (module requirement mismatch, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.

I see that the nv driver hasn't shown up yet(does it support git X?), but there is the nouveau driver which is pretty stable for 2D stuff and last I looked, was quite stable overall(except in 3D). Also, you will need to change xorg.conf to use the nouveau driver.

BTW, I say this only as a person who has had a little bit of experience in building and tinkering with X, not as an X dev. So if I'm wrong, my apologies.

If you want to use the X-Server properly, I think you should stick either to the nouveau or nv driver.

Right, the binary nvidia driver is not meant to be run with git versions of the server. And I can not rebuild the binary driver, because it is... binary.

And about your nv problem, it is probably because you did not update the nv driver package according to:- CODE module ABI major version (4) doesn't match the server's version (5) Exactly, I haven't updated any nv driver. Sorry, lack of time and I haven't seen any interest for it before now. I did add a nouveau driver once, but it has to be (updated and) rebuilt for xserver 1.6.

I have come to the understanding that the drm modules from libdrm git (drm-modules-source package) is not up to date, and the stock modules in the 2.6.28 kernel might be better. This means you can skip the compiling modules part (module-assistant). Please uninstall the drm-modules-2.6.28* package if you built and installed it with module-assistant.

If this however make things worse, please report.

#20

Thank you so much. I have uninstalled drm-modules and most of my little glitches have been fixed. With the old drm, when EXA was on my system tray was messed up, plasma would crash occasionally, etc. I am still unable to switch to console (likely because of kernel modesetting) and my keyboard mappings are of course screwed up. Hopefully both of those things will be resolved shortly. I can't wait until kernel 2.6.29 makes it into jaunty... must... have... kernel modesetting.

Also, my glxgears is running 60 times faster than before. The problem I was having earlier with glx was simply that I had forgotten to purge fglrx.

Cheers!

If this however make things worse, please report. The DRM modules in Jaunty are built without GEM/DRI2 support on Intel, which for most people is the entire point of using your repository.

On a related note...

I guess we're stuck in the mud like AliBaba describes on http://phoronix.com/forums/showpost.php?p=55174&postcount=27 (is that thread not already linked from this one?)

On a related note... Yes, it's known that DRI2 does not give any *performance* gains yet...

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]
#24

Note: If you're getting really, *really* poor performance with Intel drivers, check your Xorg.*.log for a pipe underrun. If you're getting it, you can try and fix it with Option "ForceEnablePipeA" "true" (and setting all of your extra monitor-'s [TV, VGA, etc., whatever you don't use] to an "Ignore"'d monitor). This isn't a perfect fix, but I get wonderful framerates now *with* DRI2. However, my server can still crash, bricking the card until a reboot (which is really bad stuff, especially if you're in the middle of working on something, as anything in your X session is gone, twice as bad if you have no SSH access...)

If you're using the 1.6 packages from xorg-edgers, do not install any packages from main before they have upgraded to 1.6 packages. What is important is the compatibility between the xserver and the driver binaries. The same driver source can be used, but is must be rebuilt with the corresponding xserver header files.

#26

Hi Tromod, Doing packages from the main. Just saw that today there was an update to the xorg-server https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/jaunty-changes/2008-December/001893.html as well as couple of drivers https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/jaunty-changes/2008-December/001897.html and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/jaunty-changes/2008-December/001898.html

#27

Excellent. The keyboard map issue has been solved (it was holding back the upload in Jaunty). It has DRI2 enabled. No need for xorg-edgers at the moment :)

#28

Still no desktop for me. First up is my apt term.log of the session.

#29

@tormod: The Ubuntu modules and drivers aren't yet DRI2 capable, at least not for an i945, on the newest kernel (-3), with the newest libdrm/mesa and X. However, DRI2 is "there" and UXA is running (might be a lack of GEM, I don't know how to see if it's actually active, but judging from the stuff in /proc/dri/0/*gem*, I would say it's not running).

#30

ShirishAg75, I am getting the same problem as you (just letting you know you're not alone there :P)

#31

X intel driver crashed at xf86CrtcSetMode():

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/308225

It seems fixed in upstream so we only have to wait
