Post subject: [gentoo-user] my xorg-server 1.6 seems a bit unstable - what am I doing wrong?
Archived from groups: linux>gentoo>user (more info?)
I am running the xorg-server-1.6, to which I just upgraded, and kernel
2.6.27-gentoo-r8, and I am having an issue with the server crashing
whenever I try to drag the scroll bar within Mathematica - which never
happened to me before with previous xorg-servers, and I use
Mathematica extensively. So I just wanted to ask some questions to
see if any of the warnings and errors I am seeing in the log may
actually cause X to be unstable...

1. In the log (see below), Xorg shows an error trying to load dri...
Since I have nvidia and glx and don't have dri, I don't have the dri
drivers, so how can I stop Xorg from trying to load dri/dri2?

2. I get a warning:

(--) PCI:*(0:1:0:0) 10de:01d1:0000:0000 nVidia Corporation G72
[GeForce 7300 LE] rev 161, Mem @ 0x91000000/16777216,
0x80000000/268435456, 0x90000000/16777216
(WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)
(II) No APM support in BIOS or kernel

Will this make X unstable in any way?

3. Are the freetype and type1 modules now incorporated into X or phased out?

1.6.3.901
is - lets just say you should either use 1.6.3 or 1.6.4
and what about your driver version?
and why 2.6.27? that kernel is acient!

Sorry - what was that "why?" referring to? I think I put those
options in when I was working on anti-aliasing the fonts to make them
look smooth. That still works.

Well, I used 1.6.3.901-r2 because that's what the portage pulled in
when I did emerge -NDavu world. Portage tree seems to have options to
use 1.6.4, but it was not pulled in by emerge, so maybe it is masked
or keyworded?

The kernel... Well, I am guilty of not keeping up on kernel updates
because restarting the machine for each upgrade isn't always an option
with my work. Do you think this version of the kernel may contribute
to X instability?

i am saying that you should try the latest kernel with the latest driver for
your card

I see.

Well, I am running nvidia-drivers-180.60, and versions 185 and 190 are
masked by ~x86. Same for the xorg-server-1.6.4. So the only thing I
could do really is to update the kernel...

But xorg-server-1.5 was perfectly stable for me, so I don't see how
kernel upgrade would be helpful here, given that nvidia-drivers aren't
in the kernel.

nvidia drivers load into the kernel. Driver-kernel interaction can cause a lot
of problems.

Alright, I am now running 2.6.30-gentoo-r6 kernel, but I still have
the same issue.

I think it's a scroll-bar that triggers it. If I drag a scrollbar
down with my mouse and then run it back up, there is a delayed
response (especially in Acrobat Reader), and when I do that in
Mathematica 5.2, that simply crashes X.

Now I am kind of regretting that I upgraded to xorg-server-1.6... I
was very happy with 1.5 and before. Sigh. May this be a library
issue? Gtk? I received some kind of an error from Gtk, if I recall,
while using acroread, but acroread did not crash...

you could rebuilt gtk, I never had crashes or problems with acrobat and I
don't have mathematica Smile

Acroread has always been particularly unstable. I know nothing about the
Linux version of Mathematica.

You can always try revdep-rebuild.

Do okular or eveince have a "print current view" feature? Thats
one thing in acroread that xpdf never had, and I can't live
without it.

He may also want to ask the question "Do I *really* need acroread?" and get
the full complete answer. In my experience very few people actually need all
the features in acroread, and okular|evince are quite adequate

I am flexible on acroread, but acroread doesn't crash X - just gets a
little backed up. I am OK with that.

But X crashing from my use of Mathematica is absolutely unacceptable -
this is what I need for my work. Before I upgraded to xorg-1.6 and
libxcb-1.4, this *never* happened, not once, *in several years*, under
extensive use, and I have been using the same Mathematica version all
this time, 5.2. So if downgrading X and libxcb is what I have to do
to restore reliable operation of my machine with Mathematica, then
this is what I am doing next.

Let me ask this next: is the downgrade of libxcb and xorg-server possible?

I agree, it shouldn't crash. Are you starting Mathematica by clicking on
an icon in a menu? If so, I'd suggest starting it from an xterm command
prompt because you may see some helpful error messages before the crash.

I'm sure it is but it may be a pain, like everything always is ;o)

I tried that, actually. There is no warning in the terminal window.
And I have been looking at Xorg error logs also, but there is nothing
useful at the end of them!

All I have is:

(WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)
(EE) Failed to load module "dri" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "dri2" (module does not exist, 0)

One curious thing...

(II) Module nvidia: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.0
Module class: X.Org Video Driver

Why does it say "compiled for 4.0.2" when all the other X modules say
"compiled for 1.6.3.901", which is the xorg-server version? I'm sure
that's nothing, but I'm just grabbing at straws here.

I am a Mathematica 7 user on amd64 (gentoo-sources 2.6.30-r5) with an
nvidia graphics card, and I just completed the same X upgrade this
evening. So far Mathematica has not given me any issues.

For what it's worth, I also receive the same "compiled for 4.0.2"
messages in my logs for the nvidia module, though I have not recompiled
my drivers (180.60) since the upgrade. dri and dri2 are not loaded, as
you have above. After glancing through your xorg.conf and X logs, I do
not see any glaring issues that would cause the problems you are
experiencing.

Two suggestions (apologies if they have been suggested already):

1) If you haven't already, recompile your xf86* packages. Somehow I
missed those when upgrading X, which caused issues for me.

2) Mathematica (at least version 7) ships its own version of Qt, which
it will use instead of the system version of Qt. If Mathematica 5 does
something similar -- sorry, I have never used that version on Linux, so
I do not know -- then it's possible that the old libraries are causing
issues. At least in version 7, removing the Mathematica-supplied Qt
libraries will cause Mathematica to use the updated system Qt libraries.
For me, the Qt libraries shipped with Mathematica are under
(install_directory)/SystemFiles/Libraries/Linux-x86-64/. If Mathematica
5 ships libraries that are also installed system-wide, then I would
suggest moving the Mathematica files to another location and seeing if
using the system libraries helps with your crashing issue. For me,
removing the Mathematica Qt libraries made Mathematica faster and look
better.

Good luck with your issue.

Regards,

Brandon Vargo
