I finally finished the xorg upgrade on my CURRENT notebook. Please see this as
a success report, not an error report. I can provide more info/testing if
someone is interested in any errors I've encountered.
I think I've seen most of this already reported:
The build process went fine, except for the mergebase.sh. It failed after I
manually deleted the conflicting files and run the script again. So I just
unpacked the backup manually.
ModulePath in xorg.conf needed to be adjusted (this is mentioned on
ModularXorg wiki page, but not in the upgrade instructions).
After suspend/resume there were serious display problems (screen mainly black
and windows not updated etc). The culprit was some modelines I added to
support the 1280x800 native display resolution. Fortunately, those
no longer seem to be necessary. With modelines removed, this no longer
happens.
While playing around with xorg.conf, sometimes X wouldn't start any longer
with some error:
(EE) I810(0): V_BIOS address 0x4ae00 out of range
(EE) I810(0): VBE initialization failed.
In this case, xorg will only start after a reboot.But haven't seen the problem
with my current xorg.conf. It seems like it only happens when xorg.conf is
changed.
I got this error when trying to start any of the mesa demos:
X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such
operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 158 (DAMAGE)
Minor opcode of failed request: 4 ()
Serial number of failed request: 48
Current serial number in output stream: 49
I added this to xorg.conf as a workaround:
Section "Extensions"
Option "DAMAGE" "Disable"
EndSection
Too my big surprise, after that, I got DRI working with my Intel 855GME card.
Basically, a success story with some minor quirks. Big thanks to everyone
involved.
Stefan
