first, i apologize... i didn't think i'd get real answers on -questions
so i'm posting this here. i realize 5.x isn't really "stable"
yet, but i
hope it's close enough to be relevant. ;)
i've got XFree86 4.3.0 installed, from the "X-4" meta port. that
went
smoothly. using the mga driver with a matrox g450 (dual head). no dri on
head 2 as expected, but again no obvious problems.
what i've noticed (this is 5.1-p8) is that after X has been running for
awhile, trying to exit X causes a hang. at first i thought it was some
program under X not exiting properly (that's what it looks like), but
i've
reproduced the same behavior with nothing but X running. if i start X and
then exit immediately, everything is fine. this seems to only happen
after X runs for a week or more.
the one thing i noticed, was some "interesting" behavior wrt drm and
it's
claimed IRQ. before starting X (after a reboot), `ps ax|grep irq` shows:
19 ?? WL 0:00.00 (irq9: pcm0 acpi0)
20 ?? WL 0:00.10 (irq14: ata0)
21 ?? WL 0:00.00 (irq15: ata1)
22 ?? WL 0:00.00 (irq10: fxp0)
23 ?? WL 0:00.00 (irq6: fdc0)
24 ?? WL 0:00.01 (irq1: atkbd0)
the same from within X shows,
19 ?? WL 0:00.00 (irq9: pcm0 acpi0)
20 ?? WL 0:01.05 (irq14: ata0)
21 ?? WL 0:00.00 (irq15: ata1)
22 ?? WL 0:00.02 (irq10: fxp0)
23 ?? WL 0:00.00 (irq6: fdc0)
24 ?? WL 0:00.08 (irq1: atkbd0)
25 ?? WL 0:00.09 (irq12: psm0)
690 ?? WL 0:00.12 (irq11: drm0)
and once exiting X (immediately, when it exits without hanging),
19 ?? WL 0:00.00 (irq9: pcm0 acpi0)
20 ?? WL 0:01.04 (irq14: ata0)
21 ?? WL 0:00.00 (irq15: ata1)
22 ?? WL 0:00.02 (irq10: fxp0)
23 ?? WL 0:00.00 (irq6: fdc0)
24 ?? WL 0:00.07 (irq1: atkbd0)
25 ?? WL 0:00.06 (irq12: psm0)
690 ?? WL 0:00.08 (irq11:)
is irq11 not being freed? or is that normal behavior? i've double
checked by X config, but i may have something wrong. i've read various
web pages and XFree's suggestions about configuring the g450... but,
again, i may have overlooked something.
this is a hard hang... ctrl-alt-bkspc, ctrl-alt-del, etc. have no effect.
i've since enabled "NoTrapSignals" in my X config hoping to get a
core
dump the next time it happens. if i can manage that, i'll include it in a
future report. (or any other info you think is relevant.)
please CC me directly with any replies, i am not currently subscribed to
-stable.
thanks,
-mrh
