Bug 525576 – >=x11-base/xorg-server-1.16 crashes on window resize with Intel GPU

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Joakim Tjernlund 2014-10-16 14:44:51 UTC]

In bug 
    https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85058
there is a patch which fixes a Xorg-server crash. I suggest Gentoo
consider patching xorg-sever-1.16.x until next release.

I guess xorg-server-1.15.x is affected too but the patch does not apply.

Will backport to 1.16 once patch is accepted in master. This patch touches parts of the server I'd rather not mess with.

Cheers

Looks like it is merged:

I have asked for the patch to be included in 1.16.2. The ebuild is currently p.masked but you can give it a try.

[Comment 4 Joakim Tjernlund 2014-11-17 08:16:49 UTC]

I already use the patch in 1.16.1
I can try it in 1.16.2 but not until you remove the masking(why is it masked?)

You can unmask it locally using /etc/portage/package.unmask

It is currently masked due to the binary slot change I'm proposing to the rest of the team. This change is 100% unrelated to your bug. Please do give it a try.

Thanks

Been running xorg-server1.16.2 for a little while now and no issues.
I think you can move it to unstable now.

BTW, is looks like the patch is already included in 1.16.2

That's why I asked you to try it out.

Anyhow, the ebuild is now unmasked and available in ~arch. Thanks.
