Whenever I launch an OpenGL application (Google Earth, Stellarium, glxinfo, etc.) the xorg server crashes badly. I have attached the backtrace, the output of emerge --info and lspci and xorg.conf. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start X 2. Run glxinfo 3. Crash!

Please try rebuilding the following packages (in that order) : - libdrm - mesa - xorg-server - xf86-video-intel And please paste here the versions of those packages you are currently using. Thanks
I have followed your instructions, but unfortunately nothing has changed... these are the versions that I'm currently using: x11-libs/libdrm-2.3.0 media-libs/mesa-6.5.2-r1 x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r6 x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.1.1
Could you attach your xorg.conf and your Xorg.0.log? Thanks
Created attachment 179001 [details] Xorg.0.log after crash
Created attachment 179003 [details] Current xorg.conf
Ok. The Xorg.0.log.old is "fresh": I've restarted the X server, and the first thing I did was to open a terminal and run 'glxinfo'. the X server promptly crashed and restarted. It looked like glxinfo succeeded to output the "Unable to open display :0" message, but I'm not sure, because the server crashed the very next moment.
I'd prefer to "fix" this by stabilizing newer versions. Maybe you could test out xorg-server 1.5.3-r1.
Hah, so you are suggesting to skip entirely the 1.4 release and live dangerously! Ok. autounmask x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r1 has added these packages to package.keywords... let's try what happens: I guess I can always revert the changes. =x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r1 ~amd64 =x11-libs/pixman-0.12.0 ~amd64 =x11-libs/libpciaccess-0.10.5 ~amd64 =x11-libs/libpciaccess-0.10.4 ~amd64 =x11-libs/libpciaccess-0.10.3 ~amd64 =x11-apps/xauth-1.0.3 ~amd64 =x11-libs/libXrender-0.9.4 ~amd64 =x11-proto/xextproto-7.0.4 ~amd64 =x11-proto/xextproto-7.0.3 ~amd64 =x11-libs/libXau-1.0.4 ~amd64 =x11-proto/xproto-7.0.14 ~amd64 =x11-proto/xproto-7.0.13 ~amd64 =media-libs/mesa-7.2 ~amd64 =media-libs/mesa-7.2_rc1 ~amd64 =media-libs/mesa-7.1 ~amd64 =x11-libs/libXext-1.0.4 ~amd64 =x11-proto/inputproto-1.5.0 ~amd64 =x11-proto/inputproto-1.4.4 ~amd64 =x11-misc/xkeyboard-config-1.4 ~amd64 =x11-libs/xtrans-1.2.3 ~amd64 =x11-libs/xtrans-1.2.2 ~amd64 =x11-apps/rgb-1.0.3 ~amd64 =x11-libs/libX11-1.1.5 ~amd64 =x11-apps/xinit-1.0.8-r3 ~amd64 =x11-proto/xf86driproto-2.0.4 ~amd64 =x11-libs/libXxf86vm-1.0.2 ~amd64 =x11-proto/randrproto-1.2.2 ~amd64 =x11-libs/libXfont-1.3.4 ~amd64 =x11-libs/libXfont-1.3.3 ~amd64 =x11-proto/renderproto-0.9.3 ~amd64 =x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.5.1-r1 ~amd64 =x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.5.1 ~amd64 =x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.5.0 ~amd64 =x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.4.3 ~amd64 =x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.4.2-r3 ~amd64 =x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard-1.3.2 ~amd64 =x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard-1.3.1 ~amd64 =x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.1.1 ~amd64 =x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.1.0 ~amd64 =x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse-1.4.0 ~amd64 =x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse-1.3.0 ~amd64 =x11-drivers/xf86-input-joystick-1.4.0 ~amd64 =x11-drivers/xf86-input-joystick-1.3.3 ~amd64 =x11-drivers/xf86-input-joystick-1.3.2 ~amd64 =x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.4 ~amd64 =x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.3 ~amd64 =x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.1 ~amd64

Upgrading to the latest unstable version of the packages has mostly solved the bug: do I have to upgrade also x11-base/xorg-x11 to ~7.4? There are some issues yet: sometimes when a window is drawn upon another window whose content changes periodically (e.g. an animated gif, a long text scrolling) then the foremost window flickers. The same happens when the foremost window is maximized to full screen (real full screen, not simply a window maximized thru the titlebar button) Another, maybe stranger, issue is caused by Google Earth-4.2.205.5730: the program errors out because it doesn't find enough video memory: could an explicit declaration in xorg.conf help? Anyway, apart from these minor issues, everything seems OK - hopefully the last issue will be ironed out soon ;)
The meta (xorg-x11) really doesn't matter very much. You can update it if you want, but I don't think it will fix any more of your problems. You might be able to assign more system memory to the video card in your BIOS. I don't really know.
Please try setting the "Legacy3D" option to "false" in your Device section. That should free up some memory space for opengl. Thanks
Setting "Legacy3D" to "False" makes all OpenGl applications segfault, so I had to undo this change. However, upon closer investigation, the GoogleEarth bug resulted to be, well, a GoogleEarth bug i.e. not related directly to X. Upgrading xorg-x11 to version 7.4 has had no effects on the flicker bug, and apparently has not introduced any misbehavior in the system. However, the testing period is still too short to draw any conclusion. I'd mark this bug as fixed. Thanks for the support!
I've added mesa 7.3 and xf86-video-intel 2.6.1 to portage. Both packages should solve the remaining 3D issues. If they don't, please don't hesitate to open a new bug. Meanwhile, I'll be closing this one as fixed. Thanks
