Openarena do not work too black screen only.
DRI "False" is good override.
Comment 2 Piotr 2009-07-17 09:43:31 UTC
For me this version simply doesn't work. The moment I see mouse pointer and kdm login window X server restarts. And it can go like this forever - show login window and restart, show login window and restart...
Comment 3 Vytautas 2009-07-17 09:53:10 UTC
Different hardware. 
I have i915. For me this one is even much better than 2.7.1, but still 0 3D with DRI on.

Also when I inseted USB flash drive Xorg just hanged. I turned DRI off and xorg do not hanged any more.
Comment 4 Vytautas 2009-07-17 10:38:02 UTC
Fixed with mesa-7.4.4 update.

Hi,

Video chipset: GMA 965

Software:
Mesa 7.4.4
xorg-server 1.6.2-r1
kernel 2.9.28.7

Using glxgears or openarena, most of the 3D isn't drawn. I was able to play OpenArena but as soon as I take the flag I'm surrounded by black shapes and I see black flags and black rockets ;)
Glxgears barely displays something, and displays more if I resize the window.

I experienced the same thing with a kernel 2.6.31-rc3 I just compiled, but I didn't try to enable UXA explicitly in xorg.conf so I gonna give it a try.

I have the same issue, buth with gdm, and for me the X server hangs after some restarts.
However I think we should create another bug report because this seems to be a different issue than the one that was originally described in this one.

The same issue here, on a Samsung X20 with Intel 915.
Upgrade to mesa 7.4.4 did _not_ help.
Comment 10 David 2009-07-18 00:31:33 UTC
Hi guys,

Video chipset: GMA 965
Software:
Mesa 7.4.4
Intel 2.7.99.902
xorg-server 1.6.2-r1
kernel 2.9.30-r2

Same problems with opengl base apps.

Cheers

intel gm965
mesa 7.4.4
libdrm 2.4.12
xorg 1.6.2.-r1
kernel 2.9.30-r1
intel 2.7.99.902

same issue, X working fine, 3D performance is about 60% lower
Comment 12 Sven 2009-07-21 07:52:52 UTC
OK, X doesn't restart anymore. Issue was solved and fixed in Bug 278226.

Yet, glxgears doesn't show anything. First, it shown a Windows with white noise in it. The second time, it only showed a black rectangle.

Tomas just committed mesa-7.5 to portage, please try it out as it should be much much better than 7.4.

Please do report back.

Thanks

Fixed the issue for me. Now, glxgears works fine. Also tried Compiz and it works like a charm.
Comment 16 Bob Raitz 2009-07-22 06:00:48 UTC
This and bug #278226 have cured all the ills I had with this driver version. Thanks to all.

Reopening
Comment 18 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-07-22 06:05:42 UTC
Phew! Well at least _something_ is working correctly :)

Thanks to both of you for the follow up, I appreciate it.

And closing with the proper resolution.
Comment 19 Vytautas 2009-07-22 09:38:22 UTC
SO I updated to mesa-7.5-r1 and now startx gives nice black screen.
I will have to get mesa-7.4.4 back.
Comment 20 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-07-22 12:15:12 UTC
Probably another bug. Startx should have nothing to do with mesa unless you run compiz or another compositing manager.

Please file a new one.

Thanks
