Intel 82852/855GM and fc13 problems with videos

Wed Jul 14 20:25:13 UTC 2010

Hello,
trying to configure F13 x86 on an old laptop for a friend of mine, tired of
WIndows viruses and problems; the pc is a Dell Latitude D505
ALso basically works apart from video and video contnts in browser...

lspci says
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated
Graphics Device (rev 02)

default config (no xorg.conf) works well in general, but unable to handle
videos (with both mplayer and totem); also in flash.

for example starting mplayer I get its window witg blue backgroubd and X
Windows System freezes
I can switch to a terminal and see this in messages:
Jul 14 22:06:18 popi kernel: [drm:i915_hangcheck_elapsed] *ERROR* Hangcheck
timer elapsed... GPU hung
Jul 14 22:06:18 popi kernel: render error detected, EIR: 0x00000000
Jul 14 22:06:18 popi kernel: [drm:i915_do_wait_request] *ERROR*
i915_do_wait_request returns -5 (awai
ting 142311 at 142310)

Trying init 3 - init 5 I get black screen with an arrow in the middle (that
I can move around with mouse... ) and I have to restart to be able to use
graphical env again.

In messages I have also, when system starts:
Jul 14 21:28:01 popi kernel: [Firmware Bug]: Duplicate ACPI video bus
devices for the same VGA controller, please try module parameter
"video.allow_duplicates=1"if the current driver doesn't work.
(not tried yet the suggestion...)

Strange thing in /var/log I have many xorg.N.log files.....

If I try to start with kernel option "nomodeset" I get error about intel
driver and fbdev and vesa ones fail....
Any way to be able to make basic graphic things with this video device in
F13?
Eventually creating Xorg.conf or passing any kernel option at boot time?

At this moment no (EE) in Xorg.0.log and these (WW):
