I'm seeing this: in dmesg under Fedora 13
{
Starting udev: udevd[432]: worker [438] unexpectedly returned with
status 0x0100
udevd[432]: worker [438] failed while handling
'/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0'
udevadm settle - timeout of 180 seconds reached, the event queue contains:
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0 (1183)
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-VGA-1 (1184)
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/controlD64 (1185)
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/graphics/fb0 (1186)
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/i2c-0 (1187)
Wait timeout. Will continue in the background. [FAILED]
}
It equates to this device:
{
lspci | grep 00:02.0
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated
Graphics Controller (rev 02)
}
Then using top I get:
Anyone else seeing this sort of utilisation from vbetool (something to
do with video bios). If so what is a work around?
