Using mkfs.fat indeed "fixes" the issue and allows the ELILO boot manager to be installed. Thanks for the help on this.

You are welcome. Just for the sake of accuracy, what you did is modify the firmware's boot menu stored in NVRAM, adding an entry for Slackware in it, using the EFI image elilo-x86_64.efi (renamed elilo.efi) for booting the system. Somehow this image plays the role of a boot loader as would be installed by LILO, but in the latter case the menu is in the hard disk.

So elilo is not a boot manager, it is a provider of EFI images, that can be referred to in the firmware's boot menu thanks to efibootmgr.

Someone else with immediate X/KDE crash when steam-client is being launched?

Slackware64-current, multilib upgraded to the latest. I use the open source radeon driver, the card is Radeon R7 260. No issues before the massive upgrade (21.04.2015), I played some games.

I upgraded from a local mirror. As a first step I upgraded the AlienBob's KDE 4.14.3(6) with the slackware's one: upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new kde/*.t?z

After that I upgraded the rest with upgradepkg --install-new */*.t?z and removed the old packages (slackpkg clean-system).

Today I upgraded to the latest packages (Mesa 10.5.4, ...), the same issue.

I don't have xorg.conf and xorg.conf.d is empty.

Have you seen this post? It is about mesa for 32bit that needs recompiling. If your games need 32bit libraries that might be the reason...

ppencho · 05-04-2015, 03:24 AM

I don't have the libGL error but I could recompile mesa, at least to have the correct mesa-compat32-10.5.4. Thanks.

Alien Bob · 05-04-2015, 03:34 AM

The latest update to -current (Mon May 4 04:15:20 UTC 2015) comes with updated mesa and libdrm which solve the issue of the unresolved symbol in the i965 driver.
The repository with my multilib compat32 packages for -current has been updated as well. You could try if this fixes your errors.

ppencho · 05-04-2015, 04:14 AM

I've just upgraded to the latest multilib but that didn't fix my issue.

Later I could try the proprietary ATI driver.

I have updated my multilib system to these packages, and yes that works fine

WhiteWolf1776 · 05-04-2015, 07:06 AM

The -current updates for today (Mon May 4 04:15:20 UTC 2015) fix the i965 issue for me as well.

bumblebee / primus is now working properly for 32 bit applications again.

Thanks for the help everyone.

X couldn't start with current-i486

I have a notebook that is very old, install from fresh with current, X server can not start

I'm using my own kernel, tested with stock kernel still can not start.
done some research and found:
linux 4.0.1: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_ioctl.c, drm_ioctl_permit, L507

Quote:

if (unlikely((flags & DRM_MASTER) && !file_priv->is_master &&
!drm_is_control_client(file_priv)))
return -EACCES;

this code cause "failed to set DRM interface version 1.4: Permission denied",
checked mesa/libdrm/nouveau/xserver, can not found something related.

compared with Fedora 21/Ubunto 14.10, they are almost the same X-server version, and is running ok.
with Arch, system updated to today, is ok.

So, anything else I can make a try? or is slack packaging problem?

Code:

That looks suspicious. Maybe setting the permissions manually with chmod can bring X up? Or am I thinking too simple?

I already test with
chmod 666 /dev/dri/card0
and
chmod a+s Xorg.*

It still not work.

NOT a good idea! Some applications will not work well, or at all, when ran by root.
