Bug 310829 – x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.10.0-r1: slowdown then freeze

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 314935
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Joel 2010-03-23 08:15:36 UTC]

Hi, I'm using an up to date Gentoo Linux amd64 testing, and sometimes Xorg freezes (and mouse gets very slow). I'm using:
- xf86-video-intel-2.10.0-r1
- mesa-7.7.1_rc1 (I've masked 7.8)
- xorg-server-1.7.6
- KDE 4.4.1
- libdrm 2.4.19

In the log I attach the emerge --info 

Reproducible: Always

Please also attach your Xorg.0.log

Thanks

Xorg log attached

I think I've found the problem. This happens everytime I start JDownloader (I don't know how I didn't realize before), so when launching it, I've added this to the args: "-Dsun.java2d.opengl=true" and everything works fine. Thanks and sorry.

[Comment 6 Joel 2010-03-24 01:59:53 UTC]

Sorry again, the same problem happens (sometimes) when I login, so this is not only Java related.

Could you attach the full output of dmesg when the freeze happens? (assuming you can still log in via ssh from another nearby box.)

Thanks

I also get random K freezes on my ~amd64 system since about one week ago where a bunch of X updates arrived (xorg-server, mesa, xf86-video-intel,...).

Unfortunately, when I get such a freeze, the system seems to be really dead.  I get a blank screen with a "_" cursor in the top left corner.  The I cannot switch to a console using Ctrl-Alt-Fx, nor can I ssh into the system anymore.  Even Magic SysRQ key don't work!

I usually get those freezes when the screensaver (the ASCII art aquarium from kscreensaver) is running or when I activate the screen after the notebook lid was closed.

I also attach my Xorg.0.log.old which was written when the last freeze occured, although there's nothing really suspicious in it...

Bug 314935 seems related or a duplicate of this one.

[Comment 11 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) 2010-04-13 20:15:02 UTC]

There isn't much I can do about such bugs, they're beyond my knowledge of the
driver.

Please file a bug upstream [1] and paste the URL here so I can track the issue.

Thanks
