Description Andrey Vihrov 2009-02-28 15:00:17 UTC

I am running a stable amd64 system with ~amd64 packages listed in bug #251832. x11-base/xorg-server is 1.5.3-r2. My video card is Intel GMA X3100.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge specified versions
2. Specify Option "AccelMethod" "XAA" in X.org config
3. Run X.org

Actual Results:  
Crashes

Expected Results:  
Starts and uses XAA for acceleration

Maybe you could try with (still masked) xf86-video-intel-2.6.2 and, if still valid, send a bug to upstream: bugs.freedesktop.org

Comment 4 Andrey Vihrov 2009-03-01 15:23:04 UTC

2.6.2 is the same. Filed a bug upstream: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20406

As read in http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20406 , seems that "XAA" is no longer developed, maybe this could be added to ebuild as "elog" messages suggesting people to try to use EXA or UXA instead of XAA and report problems with supported methods

Comment 6 Andrey Vihrov 2009-03-02 13:01:28 UTC

I guess this is not needed, as EXA is the default - one needs to select XAA explicitly in the X.org config.

Comment 7 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2009-03-05 22:58:07 UTC

Not much I can do here. XAA is no longer the default since 2.3 or 2.4. And I think adding an elog message for that is useless. Gentoo users should know what they're doing when they're messing with their xorg.conf.

Upstream is working hard to make all those tricks disappear for good, I see no need to change anything on our side.

Thanks
