Cannot start X
John Magolske
I have to use Alt-SysRq-E to get out of the frozen X, at which point I
notice the console is logged out (or somehow non-usable), and there is
the following on the display:
(EE) Failed to load module "type 1" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "freetype" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "xtrap" (module does not exist, 0)
get fences failed -1
param: 6, val:0
Setting master
hostname login: [1181.xxxxxx] ipw2200: Firmware error detected.
Restarting
But it doesn't restart, I have to use Alt-SysRq-E, then log in again.
At this point the gpm functionality is gone -- no more mouse pointer
in the console. The last 12 lines of /var/log/Xorg.0.log are:
(II) AIGLX: enabled GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer
(II) AIGLX: enabled GLX_SGI_swap_control and GLX_MESA_swap_control
(II) AIGLX: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap backed by buffer objects
(II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/lib/dri/i915_dri.so
(II) GLX: Initialized DRI2 GL provider for screen 0
(II) intel(0): Setting screen physical size to 270 x 203

(II) intel(0): xf86UnbindGARTMemory: unbind key 3
(II) intel(0): xf86UnbindGARTMemory: unbind key 4
(WW) intel(0): drmDropMaster failed: Invalid argument
Not sure exactly when the trouble began, as I mostly use the
console & haven't tried to start X in months. Perhaps this is
related to X problems others have described in recent posts?
I'm running Debian unstable.
TIA for any suggestions,
John

frozen state, crashing any VT that may be open. Any suggestions
regarding what to look for? (More info appended below)

Went ahead and re-installed w/ aptitude this:
xserver-xorg-video-intel
xserver-xorg
xserver-xorg-core
But still no luck.

What I write below assumes a standard Debian system (stock kernel and
intel driver packages); I have no idea if it is of any use for a
grml-derived installation.

I have the exact same card. The only combination that works for me at
the moment is using linux 2.6.30-1-686 with xserver-xorg-video-intel
2:2.8.1-1. If I upgrade either the kernel or video-intel to the
respective current version of Sid then I get a system that locks up
within 5-15 minutes. If I upgrade both these packages then I get an
instantaneous lock-up when X is started. From what I have seen on this
list, older kernels are also known to cause problems with Sid's current
Xorg driver.

The Intel driver is badly broken at the moment - it works with the
latest kernel only.
uname -a Linux squeeze 2.6.30-2-686 #1 SMP Sat Sep 26 01:16:22 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
I had to update to it to stop total lockups.
