[SOLVED] Xorg problem after upgrade in CURRENT x86_64

ponce · 08-22-2015, 05:39 AM

X starts fine here on the vm, installed from scratch.
wild guess: can it be you still has around glamor-egl and libelf (that have now been removed) and you haven't installed the added packages?

conraid · 08-22-2015, 05:51 AM

yes, I removed glamor-egl and libelf, and installed elfutils

Drakeo · 08-22-2015, 05:58 AM

there is an incorrect package in the upgrade "mesa"
I rebuilt it rebuilt multi-libs also everything is fine now.

The inordinate amount of work you do for Slackware amplifies the impact of that seemingly offhand remark.

I also get this segfault when trying to start X. This is with ponce's mesa package.

With this intel.conf works (with mine x86_64 mesa package)

Code:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "card0"
        Driver          "intel"
        Option          "Backlight" "intel_backlight"
        Option          "AccelMethod" "uxa"
        Option         "DRI" "false"
        Option         "NoAccel" "true"
EndSection

Speek, conraid: stil in the reign of the wild guesses... can it be you are running the updated packages in current over some not-yet-updated multilib toolchain?
maybe you should try again once Alien Bob have released multilib updates (I'm delaying updates on my multilib installations for this)...

ReaperX7 · 08-22-2015, 06:56 AM

I'm okay with Mesa since I run my own build of it. Good thing someone noticed the wrong package.

For me too (with ponce's mesa package). Thanks!

No ponce, 64-bit only here.

I don't use multilib, only pure 64bit current.

With intel.conf

Code:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "card0"
        Driver          "intel"
        Option          "Backlight" "intel_backlight"
        Option          "AccelMethod" "uxa"
        Option         "DRI" "false"
        Option         "NoAccel" "true"
EndSection

works fine.

I think it's a problem of acceleration.

Is this on Dual GPU (Optimus) ?

i had the same problem on my laptop, but it's OK when i boot to the previous kernel (3.18.11). It only failed when i boot 4.1

Thanks Ponce! The rebuild worked for me.. You saved me a few hours of frustration..

No, just a single mobo integrated Intel G41 GPU.

For me it also works with the 3.18.11 kernel (with conraid's intel.conf removed).

conraid · 08-22-2015, 07:38 AM

I created a package xf86-video-intel with the git version of the driver. Now also it works with acceleration, with sna, all default options.

I also tried to recompile the package with the version in current, but gave the same error.

At this point I think it's the fault of the driver intel, and some commit (but do not know which one) solved.

N.B.
Of course with the x86_64 mesa package

ponce · 08-22-2015, 07:41 AM

conraid, have you used this package? because I just did the same thing

http://ponce.cc/slackware/testing/tm...c-x86_64-2.txz

so, if any of you have intel hardware and got problems, please try this updated driver (I add also the mesa package for convenience - now removed, as the right package is on the mirrors) and report if it fixes for you...
