@ciaopaste: I'm not a developer. I'm just making some packages out of some freely available source-code. But i'll try my best to narrow down the cause of the bug and try to help the developers to fix it.
@G. Christ: Okay, this means the DRI-driver is still used but there seems to be some problems with the memory allocation (As far as i know). It must be a Mesa-bug because when using version 8.0.4, the newest graphics-driver and a newer kernel-version as 3.2.0 OpenGL still works. Only when using Mesa 9.0 the bug occurs. Also the bug occurs in other distributions which use Mesa 9.0 e.g. RedHat, Arch and so on. As i wrote i'm trying to narrow down the bug and i think i found the cause but need a bit more time for testing (At the moment i have no more 855GM-based notebook and i have to ask my uncle to borrow me his ;-) ) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1071530 Title: X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After a recient update of the following files: libdrm-intel1 2.4.32-1ubuntu1 2.4.39~precise~ppa2.2 libdrm-nouveau1a 2.4.32-1ubuntu1 2.4.39~precise~ppa2.2 libdrm-radeon1 2.4.32-1ubuntu1 2.4.39~precise~ppa2.2 libgl1-mesa-dri 8.0.4-0ubuntu0.1 9.0.0.99~glasen~ppa1.1 libgl1-mesa-glx 8.0.4-0ubuntu0.1 9.0.0.99~glasen~ppa1.1 libglapi-mesa 8.0.4-0ubuntu0.1 9.0.0.99~glasen~ppa1.1 libxatracker1 8.0.4-0ubuntu0.1 9.0.0.99~glasen~ppa1.1 xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:6.14.99~git20111219.aacbd629-0ubuntu2 1:6.14.99~really6.14.6~glasen~ppa3 xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.14.99~git20111219.aacbd629-0ubuntu2 1:6.14.99~really6.14.6~glasen~ppa3 xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:0.0.16+git20111201+b5534a1-1build2 1:1.1.0~glasen~ppa4.1 my opengl has stopped working. glxinfo name of display: :0.0 X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 153 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GLXCreateContext) Serial number of failed request: 22 Current serial number in output stream: 25 running armagetron from a terminal gives: armagetronad -w X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 153 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GLXCreateContext) Serial number of failed request: 25 Current serial number in output stream: 26 This error also occurs when i run warzone2100 XScreensaver glMatrix for example, all three were fine before.
