ATI ES100 patch

ATI ES100 patch

[eva]

Hello,

I want to apply this patch:

http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Linux_3.0_bugs_impacting_Xen#32-bit_graphic_cards_.28AGP.2C_or_server_ones:_ATI_ES1000.29_can.27t_do_Xorg

I downloaded the patch from:

http://darnok.org/xen/vga.patch

and I did this to apply it:

patch < vga.patch

It asks for a file to patch, and it may be obvious, but I don't know
which is the file.

Also, I think that it may be a more recent version in the git tree,
but I am not sure how to download just the patch, or all the code (git
clone?).

So what would be the best way to proceed?

Thank you

Apply it with "patch -p1 < vga.patch" instead and it'll do the right
thing.

It says exactly the same thing:

can't find file to patch at input line 22
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

And then asks me for the file to patch again..

Are you running this command from the root of a Linux kernel source
tree?

Ian, do you mean I have to recompile the kernel after applying the patch?

Well, it's a kernel patch, so yes -- obviously!

You seem to be rather unfamiliar with kernels and patching etc. I would
highly recommend that you consume a suitable kernel direct from your
distro rather than try to path/build it yourself unless you have some
pressing need to do so. You don't say which distro you are using but
many of the popular ones have a Xen dom0 kernel available these days,
including ones newer than 3.0 which have this patch already applied.

Ian.

Thanks Ian. My fault!! That is not the patch.. the patch is a few lines below..

and it's a git repository.. And yes, I haven't applied a patch in ages..

So to end this issue with my ATI card, how do I apply this patch with git?

I haven't done it before, and googling it says maybe with "git clone"
or "git apply", but there's no luck with any.. (see attachment)

Sorry, I forgot to say this is an Ubuntu 12.04, the last one, updated.
Kernel 3.2.

If you are running 3.2 then I believe you already have this patch, since
that kernel did already. If you are having a bug with your card then I
suspect it is something different.

What is the ATI problem you have? The vga patch is for VGA "text" mode
not for graphical.

Hello, sorry for the delay. I wanted to do a bit more of a research.

I have tried so many things I can't even remember, but I couldn't make
work dom0 with Ubuntu 12.04 on this server.

I reported a bug some time ago on launchpad, and I have just updated it

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xen/+bug/903124

Also I have found it's been reported a bug for the ATI card..

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/1002562

It says exactly the same things in the log file of Xorg.

---

I describe the problem: when loading Ubuntu normally the graphical
performance is not very good, but it's ok. But when trying to load
dom0 the GUI completely crashes.

Thanks

You need to attach the full serial console. Here are some
links to help you get that information:

http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/XenParavirtOps#I_have_graphics_card_.28DRM.2FTTM.2FKMS.2FXorg.29_related_problems_with_the_pv_ops_dom0_kernel..

Which talks about not doing 3D rendering. That is expected
on ATI ES1000 which can't do 3D rendering. It can only do 2D.

But that is not the problem you are describing? In your case the machine
crashes, right?

crashes.. In what way? What do you see on the screen? What is in your
serial console? Is the machine still running? Can you SSH in it?

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I mean the GUI doesn't work when dom0
is loaded. That is, at the login screen it freezes so I can't go on.

dom0 works fine without the GUI. I tried to start X manually and the
GUI loads but it's frozen so there's no possible use of it.

OK. Pls collect the data that I've asked for. And also bootup your
kernel with 'drm.debug=255 loglevel=8 debug initcall_debug' and send
me your 'dmesg'.

Oh, and can you also attach the lspci -vvv output pls?
