Happens after updating
- xf86-video-intel-v2.99.912-1 to v2.99.914+
- xorg-server-1.15.2-1 to 1.16.0-6 (and -devel).
Installed packages
- xf86-video-intel{-2.99.916-1.i686,git}
- intel-dri 10-2.7-3
- dri2proto 2.8-2
- dri3proto 1.0-1
- xf86driproto 2.1.1-3
Exact same issue with 2 kernels, and with {SNA,UXA} acceleration
- Linux 3.15.5-2-ARCH i686
- Linux CK Atom 3.16.2-1
xorg-server was updated along with a few packages yesterday Sept 12.
I was going to try downgrade xf86-video-intel to v2.99.912-1 (as in the first thread in Refs) but went in a dependency conflict, with the older intel driver requiring glamor-egl which conflicts with xorg-server ':-|

- BroX had the same modules errors (on Slackware) but X started up without problems
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...i3-4175511372/
According to this last reference and a few others I found, the lack of dri3 and present modules does not prevent X to start (or
reinstalling Xorg solved the issue). But I found no other errors to help solve the issue :-/
Any light on where can the issue comes from? hardware is pretty much standard even if getting a bit old and I've had no Xorg related issue before on this Atom netbook.
