Graphics crash after switching PC to newer model
I used to have a P3 700Mhz PC but now I upgraded it to a 2.4Ghz PC. Now my problem is that when I run some graphics intensive programs in KDE, X crashes.
I'm using Slackware 13. I have identified my device via lspci as: Code:
00:02:0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01) Now I can retrigger the crash by loading Open Office 2.3 Writer and loading and moving a picture a few times (about 720x480 pixels). Each time X crashes, I always see this line in my dmesg: Code:
drm:i915_get_vblank_counter *ERROR* trying to get vblank count for disabled pipe 1 I tried the exact same thing on my older Dell Latitude which has an ATI Radeon adapter and I get no problems with it. It makes me think maybe I need a patch for the intel video card on the problematic computer. The sad truth is the video card is not removable since the desktop is not a tower. Anyone know how I can fix this problem without replacing the entire slackware distro? |
I'm all for not junking stuff just because it's old, but you're running a 19 year old video graphics on a 10 year old OS, so you got to make a few allowances. I very much doubt if intel or slackware still support any of that stuff. Intel were not serious about graphics at that stage anyhow. I gather you've shoved a newer cpu into some old laptop and want to do stuff.
Given that you want to do stuff, there are a few things you can do.
Come back with more details, and how you get on. Pastebin your Xorg.0.log if you still need help. |
Or to put it more bluntly - you gotta be kidding !!!.
KDE on a 512M P3 ?. You're lucky you got this long out of it. I ran Fedora on a P3 till quite recently, but only as my mail client because I was too lazy to migrate off it. Office suites are pigs, but maybe abiword might pass. Sheesh. I run all sorts of old junk, but it's time you moved on. I recently tried MX-19 but it failed partitioning (twice), so I turfed it. Bodhi on the same machine AMD seems pretty good. |
