OpenGL causes X to crash with Intel grahics device

**darkrose0510** · 01-01-2009

Last few days I've been working on getting Gentoo on my Acer Aspire One, and it's all been going good till I tried running a 3D game (just to test OpenGL of course), at which point X crashed. A little experimentation shows the same thing happens (X crashes) when I try to run glxgears or glxinfo too... so obviously something is stuffed.

Anyway, as root I did "startx >> x.log 2>&1" then ran glxgears from an xterm, here's the contents of x.log:

Code:

I'm currently running kernel 2.6.28 straight from kernel.org, as it supports my SD Card reader better than the current gentoo-sources (2.6.27?) one, but tests with both kernels show the same result.
Ideas, suggestions, help! most appreciated.

If I comment out:

Code:

#   Load  "dri"

in the module of xorg.conf X no longer crashes, but rendering is now very very slow. glxgears averages 50-70FPS.
Debian had a bug in Mesa DRI's Intel driver in August 07 which reported this as a temporary fix. So I guess I need to look into mesa, and what it's stuffing up.

Well I got it to work.

The short version: unmask the latest xorg and emerge it.

Now emerge xorg-x11:

Code:

emerge xorg-x11

Now emerge video/keyboard/mouse/touchpad drivers:

Code:

emerge xf86-video-intel xf86-input-mouse xf86-input-keyboard xf86-input-synaptics

and emerge mesa:

Code:

emerge mesa

Next configure X:

Code:

Xorg -configure

And move the new xorg.conf to the right place:

Code:

mv xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Uncomment the line for NoDDC in the Device section so you don't have supersized fonts:

Code:

Option "NoDDC"

Finally restart X:

Code:

/etc/init.d/xdm restart

Login, open an xterm, and run glxgears, it all should work.

Here's my xorg.conf now:

Code:

Hey!

I had the same problem and followed the instructions in your post.
Opengl works, but now i got a new problem.
Since the update of the xserver synaptics doesnt work properly anymore (only moving the cursor and clicking with the hardware-buttons works, but no scrolling and clicking with the touchpad itself) and my external usb-mouse doesnt work at all anymore.

I thing i did configure them right in xorg.conf after the update.

here is my xorg.conf:

Hi Wulfi, here's what I've got for mouse at the moment:

Code:

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier     "X.org Configured"
	Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
	InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
	InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"Mouse0"
	Driver	"mouse"
	Option	"Protocol" "auto"
	Option	"Device" "/dev/input/mice"
	Option	"ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection

Which handles both the touchpad and an external mouse, clicking with the touchpad works, but not scrolling - which is how I like it.

**Wulfi** · 03-21-2009

thanks for your post!
I changed it to your settings but it didnt work.

**darkrose0510** · 03-22-2009

have you got generic mouse drivers installed? xf86-input-mouse or something like that, maybe re-emerge them if you do? They might still be compiled against the old xorg?

**Wulfi** · 03-22-2009

i did that already, it didnt solve the problem.
I think i will have to live with it for a while, as i dont have to much time now playing around with my system.
But really thanks for your help!
