>Number: 25912 >Category: ports >Synopsis: XFree86 4.0.2 as built from ports causes kernel panic >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-ports >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Sun Mar 18 22:30:01 PST 2001 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Nate Dannenberg >Release: FreeBSD 4.3-BETA i386 >Organization: n/a >Environment: System: FreeBSD piccolo 4.3-BETA FreeBSD 4.3-BETA #1: Fri Mar 16 16:32:20 CST 2001 natedac@piccolo.daconcepts.dyndns.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/PICCOLO i386 IBM Aptiva - 550 MHz Athlon, 96M RAM, Number Nine SR9 (with Savage4 chipset) attempting to run X 4.0.2. >Description: As built from the current ports tree, XFree86 4.0.2 causes my machine to kernel-panic and reboot, before it ever switches to graphics mode, regardless of the driver in use (vesa, vga, and savage drivers tested). 3.3.6 seems to work fine, however it lacks hardware accelleration support for this video device, or the video device itself lacks any accelleration. >How-To-Repeat: You'll most likely need to try this on an Aptiva to reproduce the bug. CVSup to FreeBSD 4.3, install X 4.0.1 or 4.0.2, and configure it for your video card, use VESA. VGA, or Savage as the driver. >Fix: Beats me - use 3.3.6, it seems stable enough, but it doesn't fully support my video card's chipset (no hardware accelleration) or my chipset sucks :-) >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
