I've got the same problem here. The 945 chipset works fine, the 855 here
does not. Anyway, what I did was simply installing the old intel driver :

sudo -E pacman -U
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/xf86-video-intel-2.4.3-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz

So it's the intel driver which is most likely broken upstream for our
chipset. The old intel driver works perfectly with the new xorg and libdrm.

Kind regards,
Georg

 Yes, and I hate it. Yesterday I locked up my window manager trying to
 run compiz, and the only thing left to do was typing su -, entering my
 password and type halt. No way to CTRL+ALT+BS the server.
 
 I'll hunt the commit down on git and revert it. This key sequence has
 been standard since the first version of X, it's similar to the
 three-finger-salute windows users are used to. It's not that someone
 would press CTRL+ALT+BS by accident or something.
 

Just wondering : switching to a TTY (using CTRL+ALT+F{1..6}) and killing
the X server from there doesn't work anymore ?

 Intel has no special interest in the 8xx drivers anymore, so I assume
 this is broken and will stay broken for a while.
 Can you try replacing /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/i810_dri.so with the
 version from intel-dri in extra and test again? I might want to revert
 just the i810 driver for this.

Using the intel-dri from extra with the xorg-server and
xf86-video-intel from testing doesn't work. It makes all OpenGL apps
segfaults.



 The get fences warning is the same I get. This is because the kernel DRM
 drivers for intel don't have all the features the mesa DRI driver has. I
 hope this will get fixed with 2.6.29, but I'm not sure about that. The
 warning is harmless, but I can imagine people will file bugs for it the
 same way they did for the Failed to initialize TTM, falling back to
 classic messages.

[arch-general] xorg-server 1.6.0 in testing

2009-03-02 Thread Jan de Groot
The upcoming version of xorg-server will have a lot of workarounds and
patches removed. Doing so, the package becomes easier to understand, as
even its maintainer has no idea what is happening anymore. When
upgrading to xorg-server-1.6, you will see these file conflicts on most
systems:

error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting files)
xorg-server: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so exists in
filesystem
xorg-server: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so exists in filesystem

It's safe and advised to overwrite these files. The symlinks were
previously created from post_install by the xorg-server and nvidia-utils
packages. It is advised to install xorg-server first by using pacman
-Sf xorg-server, after which you can upgrade the rest of your system.

This release of xorg-server requires a rebuild of all video and input
drivers. Older drivers will fail to load with an ABI mismatch. Drivers
in our repositories will receive an update to match the xorg-server ABI.

Nvidia has updated their latest drivers with support for this version of

 I'm having problems with the intel drivers and OpenGL. With OpenGL
 sceensavers, I don't really know how to describe it but I can guess
 what's on the screen but it's garbled.  With some OpenGL games, I get
 a black screen.  I get the following message on the terminal:
 get fences failed: -1
 param: 6, val: 0

 I also get that message when running glxgears which works fine.  My video
 card:
 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM
 Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)
 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated
 Graphics Device (rev 02)

 Ask if you need more informations.

 Eric

Since the update I can't switch from a console back to the X server.

Yes, and I hate it. Yesterday I locked up my window manager trying to
run compiz, and the only thing left to do was typing su -, entering my
password and type halt. No way to CTRL+ALT+BS the server.

I'll hunt the commit down on git and revert it. This key sequence has
been standard since the first version of X, it's similar to the
three-finger-salute windows users are used to. It's not that someone
would press CTRL+ALT+BS by accident or something.

Intel has no special interest in the 8xx drivers anymore, so I assume
this is broken and will stay broken for a while.
Can you try replacing /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/i810_dri.so with the
version from intel-dri in extra and test again? I might want to revert
just the i810 driver for this.

The get fences warning is the same I get. This is because the kernel DRM
drivers for intel don't have all the features the mesa DRI driver has. I
hope this will get fixed with 2.6.29, but I'm not sure about that. The
warning is harmless, but I can imagine people will file bugs for it the
same way they did for the Failed to initialize TTM, falling back to
classic messages.
