x server crashes when resizing resolution

happybear · 07-18-2006, 07:32 AM

good day everyone, i installed the dri module from dri.freedesktop.org and i guess it worked properly, i was able to run opengl apps and was able to play warcraft3, but everytime i resize the resolution using kde's screen resizer, x server crashes , i have an intel graphics video hardware and my machine is running slackware current, anyone know how to solve this? any reply from you guys would be much appreciated, thanks

happy,

if you're using slackware-current, how come you installed the dri ?

you should along with the thread here in the slackware forums be able to get 3d rendering aka DRI to play games.

hello

i followed that one, the thread you are saying, and i was able to make it work but warcraft wont, and i read from another forum that they just installed the dri module for intel from freedesktop.org, so i followed the instructions and that's it, i could play warcraft but wont let me play in fullscreen and the mouse cursor always leave the screen when not in fullscreen and that's kind of annoying, so i guess, i have to play it using arrow keys to navigate the map, tsk tsk...

what resolution are you switching to when it crahes ? What is the native res on your laptop ? you may need to patch the video driver in order to use the native res.. I need to to get 1280x800 @ 24 bit.

Did the res you are switching to when it crashes work before installing DRI?

i was trying to change the resolution to 1024x768, and i could not understand why my resolution wont change to 800x600 eventhough it is the only res written to my xorg.config,

yes it worked before, i mean changing the resolution from 1280x800 to 1024x768 and 800x600 without the dri module i just installed recently, thanks sir.
