Hosed graphics after installing Flame - necron2600 - 01-11-2020
I installed both Flame and Smoke on an Octane2 (I chose 'film' resolution on installing.. and note I am on a vpro V10.. not V12.. my res is always 1920x1200@70 with no issues).. on reboot I have no X11, just the initial console hardware GUI (blue background with grey console window) looping:
dgl error (access): dgl server access denied - myhostnamehere:0.0
return -13
...
flamedgl error (access): dgl server access denied.
My monitor loses connection/sync during the attempt X start.. eventually it connects but at the default console term GUI.
I can ssh in and I run:
bash-4.4# ./gfxinfo
Graphics board 0 is "ODYSSEY" graphics.
Unmanaged 1280x1024

SYSLOG shows (after I gfxstop/gfxstart):

setmon does not work:
./setmon -n 1920x1200_72.vfo

Any ideas? This is def. something with Flame/Smoke.. and syslog is showing "accum config causes oversubscription of sdram." as a warning (V10 has less ram than v12). How can I recover this system?
Well, after further review:
XDM log has:
xdm error (pid 1136): Xsgi0[3653]: odsyDefaultTTExists: SDBreadOpenDatabase failed to open '/usr/gfx/ucode/ODSY/vof/1280x1024_60p.vfo' with errno 2
Xsgi0[3653]: odsyKernInit: ODSY_BRDMGR_CONFIG_FB failed
and that file does not exist:
bash-4.4# ls -ltra /usr/gfx/ucode/ODSY/vof/1280x1024_60p.vfo
Cannot access /usr/gfx/ucode/ODSY/vof/1280x1024_60p.vfo: No such file or directory
RE: Hosed graphics after installing Flame - Raion - 01-11-2020
ls -la /usr/gfx/ucode/ODSY/vof/*.vfo
In most shells should show you the current VFOs you can use.
RE: Hosed graphics after installing Flame - necron2600 - 01-11-2020
So, I copied a similar vfo to that missing file name..
bash-4.4# ls -ltra 1280x1024_60p.vfo
Cannot access 1280x1024_60p.vfo: No such file or directory
bash-4.4# cp 1280x1024_60.vfo 1280x1024_60p.vfo
It boots and X works, just at a low res.
So I tried to change it to 1920x1200@60 as I usual do (requires 8-bit. not 16bit as its a V10), but it says it is an illegal power-on configuration.
I also tried taking a previous install's vfo files for 1920x1200* placing into /usr/gfx/ucode/ODSY/vof/ . .. rebooting, no luck to change it to 1920x1200.
How can I get my original res back?
RE: Hosed graphics after installing Flame - Raion - 01-11-2020
No idea man. The Discreet tools seriously change a lot of IRIX, so there's probably issues that stem from their installation. AFAIK it's not easy to reverse those changes without a reinstall.

while the GUi fails to set res, command line works:
setmon -v -w 1920x1200_60 seemed to come back with no errors (it errors without -w)
However..
now xdm does not like that
xdm error (pid 1138): xdm error (pid 1133): Xsgi0[1258]: odsyDefaultTTExists: Illegal timing file '1920x1200_60.vfo' specified
Xsgi0[1258]: odsyKernInit: ODSY_BRDMGR_CONFIG_FB failed
So I recall having to always set the res in the GUI to be 8bit, not default of 16 (a V10 card cant handle 16bit with that res)..
I set it here:
./setmon -x -v -d8 1920x1200_75 (I probably could have used -w instead of -x, so it would set it on boot)
Now I can login (still low res) and change the res in the GUI without it complaining.
It may be that I had to select the 8 BIT first in the gui before selecting the resolution... not sure but at least I have it back to 1920x1200.
So all fixed!
This thread may be useful to someone else, that just so happens to need 8bit due to a V10 card and installed Flame that made everything go out of whack.

I used to play around with Flame on my Tezro, and it was a complete mess!
Seeing that the drives are swappable, in future I'll just have a second set of drives in sleds for my Flame installation! (In this way, there's no way in which it can mess with my main installation on the machine!)
