Hi all, I'm installing xorg on an lenovo thinkpad T400, and am running into some problems. On the first try, running `X` would produce the familiar grey background with x-shaped cursor, and ctrl-alt-backspace would not kill the X server. I could still switch to a vty and ctrl-C it, but the Xorg.log.0 was not terribly enlightinging. There was a suspicious warning in the log, "ESR is 0x00000010, page table error", and after a bit of googling, I found this post: http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg553679.html that thread links here: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?h=xf86-video-intel-2.4-branch&id=01bbbd8c6c73229b5cb0c88e8eb2ac9b49a5dad8 The patch does not apply cleanly at all, but changing the definition of DSPARB_HWCONTROL to include "|| IS_GM45(pI810)" helps a little bit, in that I can now kill the X server with ctrl-alt-backspace. (I suppose I should add that if I switched "intel" to "vesa" in the xorg.conf, I could also kill the X server in such a fasion.) However, X still does not respond to my mouse events, or give me the xterm that's in my .xinitrc . I will post my Xorg.0.log here: http://stuff.mit.edu/afs/sipb.mit.edu/user/kaduk/freebsd/glossolalia/ This still has the page table error, and the comment that "Existing errors found in hardware state." is rather suspicious, though I don't have enough experience with this to know for sure. This is on 8-CURRENT from March 8, and I believe my ports snapshot to be from then as well. Thanks, Ben Kaduk
