I built and installed the multi-lib glibc and the multi-lib gcc.then massconvert32.sh. If your uncomfortable doing that wait for alien bob to do it then upgrade.
if you are using proprietary graphic drivers you will want to uninstall them first.

Mine is the nvidia 352.30 then A MUST! slackpkg install-new slackpkg upgrade-all this will over write the alien bob multi-lib glibc and gcc.
then un-select mesa. Then do the upgrade. reboot login init 3 cd to slackware64-current/source/x/mesa source build and install it.

Then upgrade your multi-lib you built. and the compat32 your massconvert32.sh.

Then reboot. again login init 3 build your Nvidia drivers or AMD drivers. then init 4.

If not using multi-lib skip the multi-lib stuff. with a 8 core machine -j8 building multi-lib glibc and gcc is about an hour.

Or relax sit back and wait for the powers that be do it for you.

I saw that new multilib packages have been uploaded.

Hi , using a only x86 iso , INTEL , cards cant start xorg

Is not only the multilib.


intel in git are currently working in REMOVE , glamor support.

Then i think , need recompile de intel driver with


--enable-uxa
--disable-glamor

One notebook and one eeepc , 2 INTEL cards , no one startx , other machine have a radeon 290x crossfire , that worked fine , but intel cant boot.

Try git version of xf86-video-intel

It looks like mesa is fixed!

From http://mirrors.kernel.org/slackware/...slackware64/x/

I've upgraded my mesa package and intel video package from ponce's to the newly uploaded packages. With the new packages in place Xorg fails to load again. Xorg was working with ponce's software.

Hi , on x86 current iso , recompiled intel git driver and xorg wake up now

cloning the intel git and aplying



mesa x86 package are O.K , only update the intel driver to git version.

when i configure , i see perfectly , say

aceel methods none *sna uxa

think default choosen by autoconf is sna and uxa are other available , but no GLAMOR

ponce, I had the same problem as conraid. Your packages are a godsend. Thank you!

Okay. I kept the newly uploaded mesa package and removed the newly uploaded intel video package and replaced it with ponce's intel video package. Xorg is now working again.

But be carefull , are 2 bugs , one in mesa package x64_x86 version , and other bug in xf86-video-intel package


The second affects all current isos.... intel cards cant run xorg , need upgrade package to git version...or compile the same enable uxa , disable-glamor , but think better way is get the current git version , because removing glamor completly to the code.

Yes, good point. My AMD machines now work as the mesa bug is fixed, but my Intel boxes are still not working with X...

Most of my units are Dell with Intel graphics.

if can be useful I prepared also a 32bit current testing package for the git version of xf86-video-intel

http://ponce.cc/slackware/testing/tm...7fc-i586-2.txz

I paste also the link to the x86_64 one, JIC

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

as the official x86_64 mesa packages are on the mirrors, the commodity mesa package I linked before isn't needed anymore (read: download the official one!).

Just chiming in to say my Xorg is dead as well.
Hardware is Intel integrated graphics and x86_64. I ran 'install-new', 'upgrade-all' and 'clean-system' so I think I'm cleanly up to date.

Will bust out the chromebook for a few days and wait for you clever fellows to sort it out

The mesa package was just updated. I suggest those with mesa troubles try the new package.
