Description John Lewis 2006-08-11 07:38:03 UTC
Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: NA
Distribution: Gentoo
Hardware Environment: Dell Poweredge SC420 BIOS ver A02
Software Environment: NA
Problem Description: intel-agp doesn't detect e7221 chipset.This means DRM
doesn't detect the integrated i915 graphics controller. agpgart, intel-agp, drm
and i915 all load without complaint though dmesg just shows:-

Linux agpgart interface v0.101 (c) Dave Jones
[drm] Initialized drm 1.0.1 20051102 

Steps to reproduce:

Get a machine with a e7221 chipset. Install latest main line kernel with
agpgart, intel-agp, drm and i915 support enabled.

Has this been fixed in 2.6.20-rc7 yet?

Possible fix.

Please try this diff, and let me know if that works.
If possible, also include a run of testgart
(http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/projects/agp/testgart.c)
Comment 5 Natalie Protasevich 2007-06-15 14:58:03 UTC
John,
Did you get chance to test the fix in #4?
Thanks.
Comment 6 John Lewis 2007-06-16 04:53:28 UTC
No not yet, could you remind me how to apply the patch to the kernel and I will do it today?
Comment 7 John Lewis 2007-06-16 07:21:44 UTC
Ok I took a healthy dose of RTFM and dmesg now says:-

Linux agpgart interface v0.102 (c) Dave Jones
agpgart: Detected an Intel E7221 Chipset.
agpgart: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0x0
[drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810

Which is definitely a step in the right direction. I will try X and come back, but bear in mind this machine doesn't have X already, is remote from me and is Gentoo so it will take some time to compile and I will only be able to see if X starts.

Thanks.
Comment 8 Natalie Protasevich 2007-06-16 09:17:19 UTC
Thank you very much, for debugging and taking time to test this.
Will be waiting on your results running with X.

--Natalie.
Comment 9 John Lewis 2007-06-16 13:43:20 UTC
Not a bother.

Here is the relevant output from Xorg.0.log, it doesn't seem to be recognising the gart memory that was enabled by the patch and therefore DRI is disabled:-

Patch to enable i915 recognition in 2.6.23

adapted from patch above.

My test machine is a Dell SC420.

This still seems to have problems - in particular the aperture is reported starting at 0 and being 256M.
  agpgart: Detected an Intel E7221 Chipset.
  agpgart: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0x0

X now starts using the intel/i810 driver Debian v2:2.1.1-4 ) but there are problems using dri (and xv)

some excerpts:
(II) Primary Device is: PCI 00:02:0
(--) Chipset E7221 (i915) found

Comment 11 Dave Airlie 2007-11-19 17:02:41 UTC
are you sure this chipset has integrated graphics?

> are you sure this chipset has integrated graphics?

No, I'm not 100% sure. It may be disabled in the BIOS etc. It does seem to be there though.

This is a Dell SC420. It's a cheap server. It has an onboard VGA connector and runs the xorg vesa driver fine. When this patch is applied the xorg intel driver will then run:

(II) intel: Driver for Intel Integrated Graphics Chipsets: i810,
        i810-dc100, i810e, i815, i830M, 845G, 852GM/855GM, 865G, 915G,
        E7221 (i915), 915GM, 945G, 945GM, 945GME, 965G, 965G, 965Q, 946GZ,
        965GM, 965GME/GLE, G33, Q35, Q33
(II) Primary Device is: PCI 00:02:0
(--) Chipset E7221 (i915) found

If there are any other tests or anything else you need, please ask.
Comment 13 Ryoji Kamei 2008-01-17 21:55:59 UTC
Hi,

I'm also trying to invest video problem in E7221, because RHEL5.1 can't start X on SC420 or other hardwares with E7221. I confirmed that RHEL5.0 can run X without agpgart.

I found a blog that run DRI on SC420.
http://d.hatena.ne.jp/dayflower/20070619/1182231887
Script is Japanese, however we can read patches there. Hope it will help you...

Now I meet a problem that running video graphics on E7221 with agpgart become noisy like a picture at bottom of the blog or more. It will become clear when I add Option "NoAccel" "true" into xorg.conf, but it will become slow, of course.

If you have any comments, please describe it for me/us.
Comment 14 Brian Davis 2008-01-29 06:50:09 UTC
Has there been any recent developments on this bug? I see multiple patches, but they don't seem to fully fix the problem.
Comment 15 Natalie Protasevich 2008-03-26 23:17:25 UTC
Can someone summarize what is the current behavior of the chipset with latest kernel please.
Comment 16 Dave Airlie 2008-03-26 23:25:12 UTC
should all be upstream in kernel at this point...
