1 Hi,
2
3 when I rebooted my PC yesterday my X did not come up (I made an error
4 with etc-update after the resent baselayout upgrade and removed the
5 DISPLYMANAGER setting). After fixing that my X came up, but only at
6 640x480.
7 During the last days I did not change anything connected to X on my
8 system and rebooted it several times without problems. I am running a
9 x86 system with Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family
10 Graphics Controller and 99% stable packages including Xorg 7.1 (the
11 unstable ones are apps, nothing with X).
12 It ran totally fine until yesterday.
13 I tried a lot, remerged X and experimented with settings.
14 I am still not sure what the problem is.
15
16 There are some things that strike me:
17 In the Xorg log I find:
18
19 (WW) I810(0): xf86AllocateGARTMemory: allocation of 13409 pages failed
20
21 several occurences of that with different page counts
22 .
23 And this one:
24 (II) I810(0): Not using mode "1280x1024" (no mode of this name)
25 (II) I810(0): Not using mode "1024x768" (no mode of this name)
26 (II) I810(0): Increasing the scanline pitch to allow tiling mode (640 ->
27 1024).
28 (--) I810(0): Virtual size is 640x480 (pitch 1024)
29 (**) I810(0): Built-in mode "640x480
30
31
32 Any idea what the problem is?

35 Thanks.
