[XFree86] triple head config problems (cyberblade,sis + tseng)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi
For a couple of years i've been running a triple headed X setup on my
workstation and X has been completely stable.  Unfortunately the
workstation itself recently died, and i've replaced it with a new
machine, AMD athlon on MSI 6378L motherboard.  The board has an onboard
trident cyberblade of some sort (identified by X as a Trident cyberblade
generic).

My other two cards are pretty old pci cards, a Tseng et6000 2Mb ram and
an Sis 6326 8Mb ram.  The Sis has some problems and needs to be run with
a few features disabled.
Anyway, I thought I had it all set up properly, but I'm getting really
weird intermittent crashes, where my X session just goes 'bang' and I
got dropped out to the console.  There's no meaningful messages in
/var/log/messages or /var/log/XFree86.0.log, but its starting to get out
of control. It's impossible to reproduce the crash, it seems to
basically happen randomly around once every hour or two.

The remainder is some details on the setup, and more are available if
you need em.
OS: Red hat 8
X: XFree86-4.2.0-72
kernel:2.4.20-20.8 athlon
Cards are: 
pci bus 0x0000 cardnum 0x09 function 0x00: vendor 0x1039 device 0x6326
 SiS 6326

pci bus 0x0000 cardnum 0x0a function 0x00: vendor 0x100c device 0x3208
 Tseng Labs ET6000/6100

pci bus 0x0001 cardnum 0x00 function 0x00: vendor 0x1023 device 0x8500
 Trident CyberBlade/i1

cat /proc/mtrr
reg00: base=0x00000000 (   0MB), size=1024MB: write-back, count=1
reg01: base=0x3f800000 (1016MB), size=   8MB: uncachable, count=1
reg02: base=0xd5800000 (3416MB), size=   8MB: write-combining, count=1
reg03: base=0xd9000000 (3472MB), size=   8MB: write-combining, count=1
reg05: base=0xd0000000 (3328MB), size=  64MB: write-combining, count=1

If anyone out there has some suggestions of things to try please advise
Cheers
Tim
