intel video driver crashing
Hi guys. I have the following issue with my intel graphics card. Every once in a while the X server would just crash. I can't tell you what exactly causes it. Last time after crashing it had this message in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old:

my only suggestion is to create a bugzilla report. That's what I regularly do for intel video. Only last night I updated a long standing flash video bug report. Yours might look similar to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31611 . I thought I had another one but I can't find it any more. That one supposedly was resolved in the intel driver.
what you can try is an upgrade to mesa-7.10.2 and libdrm-2.4.5 from slackware/testing. Martin |

It only stopped working properly when I updated to KDE 4.6.3, which was solved by updating Mesa to the /testing version. |
i will give the /testing version a try, then! Shall I also upgrade the kernel with the one from /testing?
|
Dunno for Intel but for nVidia it definitely helps to upgrade the kernel if you upgrade the main X components. In fact it is even mandatory to use xf86-video-nouveau in /testing. May be the same apply for Intel?

When does this crash occurs? during moving/resizing an application on the desktop? Or just spontaneously? |
I would say spontaneously. Or sometimes after watching videos in youtube. On another machine (again intel chip) X crashes regularly after watching 2-3 youtube videos. I have experienced similar problems with Archlinux before. Only with intel, sometimes X just dies.
Also on my current machine, sometimes after the monitor has gone blank (after the xscreensaver), when I move the mouse, I see the cursor but black desktop, or sometimes my bottom panel appears on top. I have to pres Alt + F6 and then Alt + F7 and everything works fine again. :banghead: I am seriously thinking to just buya separate (relatively) cheap video card. But then again: ATI or Nvidia, if ATI: the open source driver or the catalyst, in case of Nvidia -- nouveau? Seriously, would someone recommend a video card that will just work fine with its open source driver? Price limit is around 100 EUR. :confused: |

One question, did you have these problems with slackware 13.1?
I am asking this, because i use the intel icore3 internal graphics, and I have the same problems as you have. In slackware 13.1 i did not have these problems. I'm seriously considering a reinstall of 13.1. Quote:

I had them. At least X crashing. The other "exotic" things are new...
BTW, I came across this thread http://www.ubuntugeek.com/intel-grap...nty-users.html So, in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d I created a file called intel-videoram.conf with the following in it: Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Driver "intel" Option "AccelMethod" "UXA" VideoRam 258048 EndSection Of course, I still dont know if this solves anything. I have to just wait and see if X will crash. EDIT: Nope, doesnt help it just crashed! |
for me help downgrading to ftp://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/slackware/s...4.0-i486-1.txz
|
thanks for the suggestion, i gave it a try
now i am waiting to see if X will crash :rolleyes: |
I was having problems with Intel Graphic Cards which was solved by:
1- remove google-chrome 2- remove gkrellm 3- remove xscreensaver The problem solved. Slackware64 13.37 Acer Aspire 4738-6328 intel core i5 intel drive i915 arrandale. |
