[SOLVED] Some Steam games crash X (64-current w/ multilib | 2015.11.25)

GazL · 12-06-2015, 03:51 PM

'dwm' does not re-parent top-level windows which sets it aside from many other window-managers (even other tiling ones like i3). Not sure if that is of any significance, but I thought I'd throw it out there as a possible reason for different behaviour.

So I recompiled Fluxbox and Borderlands 2 won't launch, but it also isn't crashing X. Not sure if this means I am on to something ...

Since the error looked intel related, I compiled the latest xf86-video-intel (xf86-video-intel-git_20151206_da9ad38-x86_64-1.txz). Same crash and burn when starting 'Spec Ops: The Line'.

kingbeowulf · 12-06-2015, 08:23 PM

There might be a modsetting/modeline problem. It looks like you are using the Display port. How about:

Try another GPU port (VGA, DVI or HDMI)
set up entries /etc/X11/worg.d/<something>.conf to specify driver and valid modes so that X does not try to scan for them
turn off modesetting

Nvidia proprietary drivers don't use the same scheme (no modelines for example), and I specify monitor, driver, and screen parameters in /etc/X11/worg.d/xorg.conf (Old school, that's me...). I have -current on another partition in the game box. I might check 1.18 out here soon

Interesting, this is a laptop and I am using the built-in display ... how can I disable modesetting?

Wild guess here but I think kingbeowulf means adding "nomodeset" to the append line of your lilo.conf.

Thanks. I'm beginning to believe, after recompiling an older Xorg (1.17.4), that the NVIDIA driver is to blame here, or some kind of broken interaction between Bumblebee and `primusrun`. I'm hoping the next 358.x or 352.x release of the NVIDIA driver will sort things out.

ryanpcmcquen · 12-10-2015, 04:12 PM

So after rebuilding the entire X11 stack (with updated versions of xf86-video-{intel,nouveau}, and all the latest commits to the xserver 1.18 branch), I've found that everything seems to work in XFCE, but not Fluxbox. WEIRD.

I guess I should test some other DE's and see which ones are 'golden'.

kingbeowulf · 12-13-2015, 01:04 AM

ryan, Keep us posted on your findings. I'm almost done to migrating to -current and will start testing the nvidia blob on -current (and other of my SBo scripts) "real soon now." I'd be interested in and DE quirks with those that Slackware ships.

ryanpcmcquen · 12-13-2015, 01:03 PM

If anyone wants to test the newer X packages, here are the source tarballs (for building):

https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com...da9ad38.tar.xz

https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com...b18bc03.tar.xz

https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com....18.0.1.tar.xz

I probably should have named the xorg tarball off of the upstream commit:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xse...5d252ffe49020d

ryanpcmcquen · 12-16-2015, 05:22 PM

On a fresh install of the Dec. 16th current and all is well. Probably 'mesa' or 'xf86-video-intel' fixed it.

I'LL TAKE IT!
