Since updating to xf86-video-intel from xf86-video-830 xorg-x11 will not start. The Xorg log shows that all is well as far as loading drivers and finding resources until: (WW) intel(0): xf86BindGARTMemory: binding of gart memory with key 0 at offset 0x1fff000 failed (Invalid argument) Fatal server error: Couldn't bind memory for HW status Backtrace: 0: /usr/bin/X(xf86SigHandler+0x65) [0x4892b5] 1: /lib/libc.so.6 [0x7f709ba062b0] 2: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers//intel_drv.so(I830EmitFlush+0x8f) [0x7f709a8a98df] 3: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers//intel_drv.so(I830Sync+0x52) [0x7f709a8a9c42] 4: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers//intel_drv.so [0x7f709a8b80a8] 5: /usr/bin/X(AbortDDX+0x89) [0x466899] 6: /usr/bin/X(AbortServer+0x18) [0x4f47d8] 7: /usr/bin/X(FatalError+0xd5) [0x4f4e45] 8: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers//intel_drv.so(i830_bind_all_memory+0x81) [0x7f709a8be4b1] 9: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers//intel_drv.so [0x7f709a8b8c50] 10: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers//intel_drv.so [0x7f709a8ba4da] 11: /usr/bin/X(AddScreen+0x1c8) [0x430a38] 12: /usr/bin/X(InitOutput+0x240) [0x467360] 13: /usr/bin/X(main+0x286) [0x4311d6] 14: /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe6) [0x7f709b9f2486] 15: /usr/bin/X [0x430789] +0x65) [0x4892b5] 1: /lib/libc.so.6 [0x7f709ba062b0] 2: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers//intel_drv.so(I830EmitFlush+0x8f) [0x7f709a8a98df] 3: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers//intel_drv.so(I830Sync+0x52) [0x7f709a8a9c42] 4: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers//intel_drv.so [0x7f709a8b80a8] 5: /usr/bin/X(AbortDDX+0x89) [0x466899] 6: /usr/bin/X(AbortServer+0x18) [0x4f47d8] 7: /usr/bin/X(FatalError+0xd5) [0x4f4e45] 8: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers//intel_drv.so(i830_bind_all_memory+0x81) [0x7f709a8be4b1] 9: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers//intel_drv.so [0x7f709a8b8c50] 10: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers//intel_drv.so [0x7f709a8ba4da] 11: /usr/bin/X(AddScreen+0x1c8) [0x430a38] 12: /usr/bin/X(InitOutput+0x240) [0x467360] 13: /usr/bin/X(main+0x286) [0x4311d6] 14: /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe6) [0x7f709b9f2486] 15: /usr/bin/X [0x430789] FatalError re-entered, aborting Caught signal 11.
