Very Computer

As far as I know, the card is configured properly, and it certainly
works properly in console mode; the trouble comes when I try to start
an X session.

Originally, the symptom was that Xsun started consuming 99% of the CPU,
without actually doing anything useful; at that point I found and
installed patch 107851-08, which claims to fix this specific problem
among others.

With the patch installed, the symptom has changed. :-)  Now, I get the
following message in /var/dt/Xerrors:

   ld.so.1: /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun: fatal: relocation error: file \
            /usr/openwin/server/modules/ddxTSIgfx.so.1: symbol   \
            EnablePwrMgmt: referenced symbol not found
   Error attempting to dynamically load ddx handler ddxTSIgfx.so.1

   Fatal server error:
   InitOutput: Error loading module for /dev/fbs/gfxp0

There's more, of course, but this is the gist of it.  Can anyone provide
any hints about what to try next?  Where is EnablePwrMgmt supposed to
come from?

  Thanks,

     - Steven

There's patch 108652-13 which solves a bug in Solaris 8 Xsun
that also causes a lop.

In other words, so far so good, but I won't know for sure what state I'm
in until tomorrow morning.  At that time I'll post a followup in case
anyone else might be insterested in the outcome. :-)

I'm afraid I'm back to the original symptoms:  on session start, my X
server immediately went up to 95.1% CPU utilization; the applications
that normally start up were actually running, including the window
manager, but none were able to connect to the server.

The contents of /var/dt/Xerrors at this point are:

   Syntax error in /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir
   AUDIT: Mon Jul 31 10:44:45 2000: 227 Xsun: client 6 rejected from \
                                        IP 132.205.121.51 port 32804
     Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: 0

(Yes, 132.205.121.51 is my own IP address.)

Help!  I think I'm out of ideas at this point. :-(

Quote:>Run pstack (as root) on the Xsun process;

Meanwhile, I've made a bit of a breakthrough -- the Xsun hang occurs
when xconsole starts, and if I remove xconsole from my .xsession file,
the rest of the session works perfectly.

And yes, before you ask :-), if I start xconsole manually after
everything else is up, it still causes a hang. :-(

For the record, here's what pstack reports when xconsole is running;
this is the hung state:

   25891:       /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0 -dev /dev/fbs/gfxp0 -nobanner -ar1 300 -ar2 1
    000b5a50 ffs      (2c4040, febee100, 2a1868, 2af880, 2a1868, dd) + 10
    febc124c gfxCopyPlane (2c4040, 2bb9b8, 2a1868, 0, 0, 6) + cd4
    ff0c175c miSpriteCopyPlane (3, ffffffff, a, ff31a330, 2a18ec, 6) + 254
    feb5d4f4 DclCopyPlane (3, ffffffff, 2a1868, a, 1, feb7a42c) + 168
    0004c9d8 ProcCopyPlane (2a1868, 2c4040, 2bb9b8, 2ee2b0, 2d8fe0, 20) + 370
    0003064c Dispatch (ffbefbd8, 0, 0, 3ffffc, 194718, 0) + 188
    000515c8 main     (189068, 18bfb4, ffbefedc, 1, 17b374, 0) + 7c0
    0005c6e0 _start   (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) + b8

In contrast, a normal session looks like this:

   127:    /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0 -dev /dev/fbs/gfxp0 -nobanner -ar1 300 -ar2 1
    7f519ee4 _writev  (18b634, ffbefb00, 187814, 0, 0, 2c6008) + c
    00033338 FlushAllOutput (18b454, 189b74, 194710, 2d62f8, 0, 0) + 168
    000306d8 Dispatch (ffbefbd8, 0, 0, 3ffffc, 194718, 0) + 214
    000515c8 main     (189068, 18bfb4, ffbefedc, 1, 17b374, 0) + 7c0
    0005c6e0 _start   (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) + b8

Thanks for all your help!  Meanwhile, any suggestions about xconsole
would be gratefully appreciated. :-)

"Dont DO that!"

The word of the day is mispergitude

Unfortunately, it later transpired that Netscape (depending on the page
being viewed) and xlock (depending on the mode) also caused the same
symptoms :-(, so I'm really glad I found the solution for it. :-)
