No problems to no mtrr found ubuntu speak of in Xorg.0.log. After "startx" the screen flashes like it always does going

into X, then at the last second it drops back to the console prompt with the message "waiting for X server to shut down error setting mtrr shut down error setting MTRR (base = 0xb0000000, size=0x007b0000, type = 1) Invalid argument (22)".Dmesg shows several "conflicting memory types b0000000-c0000000 write-combining<->uncached-minus" messagesIf I pre-load /dev/mtrr I do not get the "error setting MTRR (base

= 0xb0000000, size=0x007b0000, type = 1) Invalid argument (22)" message but still get X shutting down and still get the stuff in dmesg.I googled around and it appears there is some bad interaction between this 2.6.28 (and .27) kernel, X (and drm), and the way mtrr is handled. I even tried just the simple vesa and still got the error. I guess there is no fix.The weird thing is, earlier waiting for xserver to shut down error setting mtrr in the day I was able to launch X. I kept rebooting it while working on xorg.conf, and from some point it failed, never to work again.This machine also works with Puppy Linux 4.1.2 using xorg. The kernel is 2.6.25 however, which according to my searches is before this problem turned up.The chipset is an Intel 945GM. The last messages in the xorg log are[drm] removed 1 reserved context for kernel [drm] unmapping 8192 bytes of SAREA 0xf8039000 at 0xb7ab8000 [drm] Closed DRM master.This is more a heads-up than anything. I'm guessing there's not a fix until a better kernel comes out. Back to Puppy for now...

I'm turning up a lot of HAL stuff. Did you have hal in your DAEMONS list in rc.conf?

When I open my xserver I get the following message: (WW) CIRRUS: More than one matching Device section found: Autoconfigured Video Device cirrus In fact the X server gets open and it works. But with http://askubuntu.com/questions/429596/how-to-choose-the-vga-when-setting-up-the-x-server the resources of the "Cirrus Logic". I wanna be able to choose the VGA I want when open the X Server. How do I do that? PS: The final goal here is to use OpenGL of NVIDIA. This is an Ubuntu running on Amazon AWS. It has GPU so it's supposed to have a way for me to use OpenGL on it. PS2: Disable the Cirrus VGA is also very welcome.

X starts and I can see xterm (I think it's xterm) and the cursor flickers for about 2 seconds but then exits back to a virtual terminal and the only error message is:waiting for X server to shut down error setting MTRR (base = 0xe0000000, size = 0x0ff00000, type = 1) Invalid argument (22) does anyone know what this means? I googled and found some things related to hal, but hal is installed. Any clues? Thanks frabato View Public Profile View
