Could you please attach your xorg.conf?

Thanks

I'm out of ideas, please open a bug in freedesktop's bugzilla. Here are some instructions on how to do so: http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html

Please add "[e-mail]" as a CC on that bug so I can track it.

Thanks

I had upgraded to xf86-vide-intel-2.5.0 only to break X, unknown symbol intel_bufmgr_fake_init. Could be related? I don't know. Had to downgrade, will post any requested information/logs

That sounds like a different bug, please open a new one so we can keep both issues separate.

Thanks

xf86-video-intel 2.6.1 is now available in portage. Please try with this new version and don't hesitate to reopen this bug if you can still reproduce.

Thanks

New driver does not help (2.6.3).
Switching 2D Acceleration to EXA works for me, but effectively causes my system to provide no 2D acceleration at all (i915GM chipset).

[Comment 11 Jamie McLaughlin 2009-05-14 08:58:33 UTC]

Hi.

Exactly the same problem is still present with xf86-video-intel-2.6.3-r1 as of 14th May 2009.

I'm using a freshly installed xorg-server-1.5.3-r5 on a Thinkpad X41. libdrm and mesa freshly recompiled to the most recent stable versions.

Graphics: (from lspci) Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03)

starting X hard freezes the machine. Last message in log is intel_bufmgr_fake.c: Error waiting for fence: Device or resource busy.

[Comment 12 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) 2009-05-14 09:48:45 UTC]

Hi Jamie,

I take it you're using a stable kernel as well? If so, please try to use a ~arch version of gentoo-sources (or even git-sources) to see if that makes a difference.

Thanks

[Comment 13 Jamie McLaughlin 2009-05-14 13:58:58 UTC]

Thanks for the quick response!

I'm currently using

sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.23-r3

I'll try something newer.

[Comment 14 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) 2009-05-14 14:19:44 UTC]

Oh wow, that is old.

Upstream *definitely* hasn't tried with kernels that old. They've only recently started working on making the X driver work without any DRM support... I'm talking git master here, not even in 2.7...

Thanks

[Comment 15 Jamie McLaughlin 2009-05-14 21:05:05 UTC]

YOU DA MAN!

All is well since I upgraded to sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.28-r5.

I guess the lesson of this is not to neglect your kernel! Thanks loads for your help.

[Comment 16 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) 2009-05-14 21:36:34 UTC]

Alright, thanks for the follow up :)

[Comment 17 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) 2009-05-14 21:36:54 UTC]

And closing with the proper resolution.

Thanks
