Steinberg" Organization: Dept. Of Computer Science, Dresden University Of Technology X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.0-ac4 i686) X-Accept-Language: en, de-DE MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Linux Kernel Subject: 2.4.1-pre1 breaks XFree 4.0.2 and "w" Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi all, As I just found out, Linux 2.4.1-pre1 breaks several things on my system that worked perfectly in 2.4.0-final and the entire 2.4.0-ac tree. XFree 4.2.0 now fails to detect monitor timings and therefore removes all modelines and bails out. The relevant diff of the X logfile follows. Note the "nan" bits. < (II) NV(0): Gamma: 1.80 --- > (II) NV(0): Gamma: nan 385,386c385,386 < (II) NV(0): redX: 0.625 redY: 0.340 greenX: 0.285 greenY: 0.600 < (II) NV(0): blueX: 0.150 blueY: 0.065 whiteX: 0.283 whiteY: 0.298 --- > (II) NV(0): redX: 0.625 redY: nan greenX: 0.285 greenY: 0.600 > (II) NV(0): blueX: 0.150 blueY: nan whiteX: 0.283 whiteY: 0.298 424c424 < (II) NV(0): Clock range: 12.00 to 350.00 MHz --- > (II) NV(0): Clock range: nan to nan MHz Moreover, with 2.4.1-pre1 the "w" command behaves in mysterious ways: Normal output is something like: USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT root tty1 - 2:23pm 4:41 0.03s 0.03s -bash With 2.4.1-pre1 things look like: USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT root tty1 - 2:21pm ? 0.2147483648s 0.01s w I'm not sure I need it so precise :-) Since the 2.4.1-pre1 patch is rather small, it shouldn't be too hard to hunt down the part that causes these oddities.
