I've found your bugreport I think, but is it related to this one?

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19727

Can you ssh into your box when it freezes? This bugreport says it
freezes for a few minutes and then continues.

I can't see why it won't for you. I just installed xorg-server from testing
with "pacman -Syf xorg-server" and then everything else with "pacman -Su".
Then I started X and everything was working.

Hmh, I'm not using a xorg.conf either, and still X freezes with the new
driver and the arch stock kernel.

Strange, I've filed a bug report at freedesktop for the intel driver now,
let's see what they can tell us about this problem. Maybe there'll be a fix
for this some time soon.

For one, I don't use a xorg.conf at all. But when I wrote that post, I were
using the 2.6.29-rc6-zen1 kernel. With the stock kernel I see much
improvement (700 FPS - almost 80% improvement) with EXA. With UXA I only get

Re: [arch-general] xorg-server 1.6.0 in testing

2009-03-04 Thread Georg Grabler
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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

Re: [arch-general] xorg-server 1.6.0 in testing

2009-03-02 Thread Flavio Costa
I can't Control-Alt-Backspace to kill the X server anymore.
Same for some gnome shortcuts and they were working smoothly before the
update.

Is anyone experiencing this problem too?
Any info I can provide so that you can debug this?

Despite of that EXA and UXA are working pretty smooth with my Intel graphic
card, FPS is much higher than it was after the GEM was introduced in .28 and
there was no XF86 driver supporting it.

Nice job!
