Bug 439420 – =x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.20.2 pulled from the tree

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Elijah "Armageddon" El Lazkani (amd64 AT) 2012-10-23 16:00:45 UTC]

I have a muxless hybrid intel/AMD graphic card. The latest working version of intel drivers with the ati drivers was 2.20.2 everything later causes segfault for Xorg. The 2.20.2 got pulled from the tree, dowgrading or upgrading will probably cause Xorg to segfault and not run.

I tried all intel driver versions with Xorg going up to the latest.

Any suggestions ?

How about reporting the Xorg crash, so it can be fixed for newer driver versions and you get a working driver?

Start by attaching your /var/lib/Xorg.0.log for crashed session (previous session is in file Xorg.0.log.old).

Then also add output of emerge --info xf86-video-intel xorg-server.

Also give information about what windows manager are you using.

I can not do any update at the moment as I can not revert back to the current versions. A breakage at this point will mean a breakage forever. If I could have the ebuild of the current 2.20.2, I would attempt all of those.

Window Manager: Awesome

From portage no ebuild disappears without recovery, they are all moved to Attic and can be found there:
http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/

If you have the ebuild on your system now, then move it to your local overlay or download the dead file from Attic:
http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel/?hideattic=0

And when testing, please do so with SNA and also UXA. The latter is used by default if both are compiled, check in Xorg log which one is used and report results for both.

The crash is already reported in bug 430000 and that version of xf86-video-intel is indeed still needed. Nobody but AMD can fix this crash.

Is it going to be reintroduced into the tree ?

Anyway, even though this is a request for the ebuild to be back into the tree and is different than the bug 43000, it can be closed a duplicate if need be. It is still a recursion with 12.9 as well as which is mentioned in the comments (not the title) and I confirm that.

I just brought it back to portage. Please do note that this ebuild will not be kept around forever and that a durable solution needs to be found.

Is anyone in touch with ati-drivers' maintainers/upstream?

Cheers

Ebuild is back... for now. Closing.
