Works like a charm... :-)

Success! I had tried gpu_mem before, however it did not change anything, as far as I know it was for the older Raspberry generations only. cma=512m in the kernel's command line however did the trick for me. On boot, the kernel writes out Skipping dt linux-cma default node in favor for "cma=" kernel par at first and once the system is up and running I see that the size of available memory has decreased (in favor of the gpu I think).

In combination with the Option "NoOutputInitialSize" "1640 1312" I could not see any more X or application errors. The interesting thing is that in the broken X setup I could start gnome-maps and all kind of other applications, but it could not display them correctly.

Thanks for looking into that with me. I will continue testing this and report back in a day or two.

I see your point. I stumbled over those two card devices yesterday as well and tried to figure out if one of them can be disabled by a kernel boot parameter or a similar setting. No way. Then I tried to find out if I can hard pin a device entry to a device file, something like BusID "vc4-hdmi-0" or similar. No success as well. I ended up in deleting the card0 device by script before X starts and see what happens. The correct way for this would probably be to configure udev accodingly.

The interesting thing is that the X server says (EE) cannot open /dev/dri/card0 and also won't try to set it up, however it stills knows that there are 2 HDMI devices, one connected and one not, and it also knows that there should be a card0 device. And the errors remained.

Right now I gave your device option a try. And indeed, it changes something. The error messages in the X log file are gone, as well as the scrambled windows. But, at a certain point I could not open new X applications any more. In this case I had a few terminals, an email reader, a browser, everything worked so far. Then I tried to open the gnome-maps tool, which exited with the following error:

alex@aws:~:(1)> gnome-maps
DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB failed: Cannot allocate memory
MESA: error: Failed to create scanout resource
DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB failed: Cannot allocate memory
MESA: error: Failed to create scanout resource
MESA: error: Failed to allocate device memory for BO
Segmentation fault

It seems that the problem has shifted... I tried that with both the card0 available or not, no difference there. I will attach both X config and log so we are on the same page.

I did copy/paste the device section now to be sure, as far as I can see the result seems the same...

Sure I can, that is the good thing with the Raspberry Pi as a desktop. It's all on a microSD card. So I have my primary Chimaera installation on one card, the freia with Xorg on the 2nd, and freia with Xlibre on the 3rd. So it takes only a few seconds to change from one system to another.

I just redid the experiment. This is the xorg.conf with only a device section (and my input devices of course)

Section "Device"
Identifier "DRM"
# Driver "modesetting"
Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
EndSectionSection "Device"

I toggled setting the driver. With the modesetting driver set and the nomodeset in the kernel cmd line X doesn't start ...

In this specific case Driver "modesetting" is exactly what it breaks. If there's no driver in the config file, modesetting is loaded, sees there's nothing to do for it as nomodeset is set, so the next driver candidate is loaded, which is fbdev. If I hardcode modesetting in the config it won't start, if I set fbdev instead, it will come up smoothly but without DRI2 support, so no hardware acceleration.

So I tried to run modesetting w/o the nomodeset in the kernel's command line, but even with ignore_edid set and nailed down to one working Modeline in the config the problem returns. So I guess the issue is particularely in the modesetting driver. The module in the xorg directory has indeed a newer file date than the one in the xlibre installation, and it's even newer than the rest of the xorg drivers (Aug 15th).

So for now, I am back on Chimaera, and will see if the next Xorg update will bring a change.

trabant-asb · Desktop and Multimedia

Did you try with nomodeset as kernel parameter?

I did, but obviously I did not dig deep enough. With nomodset and the existing xorg.conf file --> no screens found, with the config file stripped down it probed and started with exactly the same resolution as I had previously (1280x1024x24bit/60Hz). While the modesetting driver does get loaded, it loads fbdev and fbdehw for probing.

The good news: The errors are gone, and the Cinnamon desktop feels even more responsive. The bad news: The DRI2 driver does not load the Raspberry's v3d/vc4 kernel driver, and so I do not have graphics acceleration available (i.e. in my browser with OpenGL not working). While some simple applications like the window manager feel more responsive, web applications like i.e. g***-maps are slowed down and do no provide all functions (3d mode disabled).

When I play a video the CPU rate and temperature goes up more than usual, most likely because the GPU does not work correctly, even if the log says it the gpu support had been added.

Hmm, where should I go from here...? How could I get the vc4 driver back in, or should that driver be part of the problem... I am attaching the actal Xorg.log to show the differences to the original log in the first post.

I have tried my very best and went through the options you have provided, however I did not find a solution. Either my X server would not start at all (no screens available) when I hardcoded invalid resolutions or depths or when it did start, the problem remained the same.

When looking at those strange resolutions in the log files, I figured that those messages might not refer to the X server's own resolution, but reflect the size and position of the scrambled or invisible application windows. I am not sure if that makes any sense at all, and well over 30 years working with X11 I found I have no clue of how the X server is working internally.

To confirm or rule out a bug I replaced Xorg with Xlibre from a private repository mentioned in another thread here in the forum. Indeed, the error messages as well as the corrupt application windows were gone. The xlibre server however shows a noticeable and measurable decreased performance compared to Xorg in overall responiveness as well as GPU or WebGL related tests.

Hey,

I am successfully running freia arm64 on a Raspberry Pi platform using the generic kernel (Linux aws 7.1.8+deb14.1-arm64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 7.1.8-2 (2026-08-15) aarch64 GNU/Linux) and Xorg (xorg-server 2:21.1.24-1devuan1).

Accidentally, the modesetting driver runs into problems showing the following error message...

(EE) modeset(0): Failed to make 1280x984x32bpp GBM bo

...over and over a hundred times, showing different resolutions, none of them is supported by my monitor nor specified in the xorg.conf file. The exactly same configuration (hardware as well as configuration files) runs perfectly fine on Chimaera.

While this error message keeps repeating, windows disappear from the screen so only the background remains there or remainders of scrambled window parts are visible where they shouldn't be *but* if I go with the cursor over where that window should be I see the mouse cursor changing where links would be i.e. in the web browser.

Before the error messages start, the Xorg.log looks fine w/o errors...

Any ideas? I tried different desktop systems, however all based on gnome (that would be gnome 4, gnome-flashback and cinnamon. All out of the official repository, needless to say.

I noticed that there have been a lot of packages put into the backports repository recently for Chimaera. However, due to the lower priority, they do not get installed by a normal upgrade. Of course I can override the priority locally to get them installed... so my question is if there are plans to move them into the upgrades or proposed-upgrades repository any time soon, or if there are reasons why they should not be installed by the default user...

Here comes the list I got from apt-get -s full-upgrade after changing the priority of backports to 500 on my desktop system:

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
libcmis-0.5-5v5 liblibreoffice-java libmwaw-0.3-3 libnumbertext-1.0-0 libnumbertext-data liborcus-0.16-0 liborcus-parser-0.16-0
libqrcodegencpp1 libunoloader-java python3-ldb python3-talloc ure-java
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libjuh-java libjurt-java libridl-java
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libabsl20200923 libbox2d2.3.0 libjemalloc2 libmbim-utils libpipewire-0.3-common libqmi-utils libqrtr-glib0 libwireplumber-0.4-0
pipewire-pulse ure-java wireplumber
The following packages have been kept back:

123 upgraded, 11 newly installed, 3 to remove and 3 not upgraded.

Interestingly the sysv-rc, initscripts and sysvinit-core are among the listed packages.

Please note that I have put the chromium packages on hold manually because of an issue with the latest build on ARM64.

By the way I *have* tried to run the generic kernel based on the Debian package which *is* available via APT... but after a successful load and printing the first few lines the screen went off. Maybe a graphic driver issue?

trabant-asb · ARM Builds

Hey there,

I am running Chimaera on my Pi 4 desktop and a Pi 3 database server for almost two years now, currently with kernel 5.10.110. While there was a way to download new kernel packages in the past using a tool named "fetch", I do not see how to get my hands on the kernel package used for latest ARM builds available on https://arm-files.devuan.org/.

I think the most straight forward option I see would be making those packages available via APT, not being sure if this is already in progress.

For now, a simple download link for the 6.1.54 packages would be greatly appreciated. I know self compiling is quite easy, but I'd prefer the clean package based way.

Thanks for letting me know.
