Upgraded xorg-server from 1.3.0.0-r6 to 1.5.3-r5 (a complete disaster - I now get a whopping sixty frame per second with glxgears). It seems that the latest intel video drivers have a lot of problems. Every time I try to run mplayer, I immediately get a restart of the X server with this in the log file: Apr 18 02:10:02 system X[22219]: segfault at 27f003b ip b80ae6c4 sp bfae2940 error 4 in libdrm_intel.so.1.0.0[b80ad000+700 0] Apr 18 02:10:02 system X:22219 freeing invalid memtype e0000000-e8000000 Apr 18 02:10:03 system kdm[3382]: X server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly Apr 18 02:10:04 system [drm:i915_getparam] *ERROR* Unknown parameter 5 Apr 18 02:10:06 system [drm:i915_getparam] *ERROR* Unknown parameter 5 Apr 18 02:10:06 system X:22398 conflicting memory types e0000000-e8000000 write-combining<->uncached-minus Apr 18 02:10:06 system reserve_memtype failed 0xe0000000-0xe8000000, track write-combining, req write-combining Apr 18 02:10:06 system X:22398 conflicting memory types e0000000-e8000000 write-combining<->uncached-minus Apr 18 02:10:06 system reserve_memtype failed 0xe0000000-0xe8000000, track write-combining, req write-combining Apr 18 02:10:06 system X:22424 freeing invalid memtype e0000000-e8000000 Apr 18 02:10:20 system X:22398 conflicting memory types e0000000-e8000000 write-combining<->uncached-minus Apr 18 02:10:20 system reserve_memtype failed 0xe0000000-0xe8000000, track write-combining, req write-combining Apr 18 02:10:20 system X:22521 freeing invalid memtype e0000000-e8000000 I have searched this a bit, and it seems that the people at Arch have dealt with it the most. They do not recommend running xf86-video-intel at all, and have actually created a package called xf86-video-intel-legacy, which consists of an old intel video driver patched to work with their current version of xorg-server (1.6). I have tried re-emerging all of the relevant packages to eliminate version mismatches as a potential cause of the problem. It seems that some kind of downgrade (at least temporarily) is necessary as a workaround. $ emerge -p --info Portage 2.1.6.7 (default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop, gcc-4.3.2, glibc-2.8_p20080602-r1, 2.6.27-gentoo-r10 i686) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r10-i686-Intel-R-_Pentium-R-_4_CPU_2.60GHz-with-glibc2.0 Timestamp of tree: Thu, 16 Apr 2009 19:30:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p39 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.7 dev-lang/python: 2.5.2-r7 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.2-r1 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.6-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.63 sys-devel/automake: 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.27-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -mfpmath=sse" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -mfpmath=sse" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--with-bdeps y" FEATURES="distlocks fixpackages protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://imperator/ http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/layman/sunrise" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac aalib acpi alsa arts audiofile berkdb bzip2 cairo caps cdparanoia cdr cjk cracklib crypt css cups dbus dga directfb dri dvd dvdr dvdread encode exif expat fam fbcon ffmpeg flac gcj ggi gif glibc-omitfp gmp gphoto2 gpm gstreamer hal iconv idea imagemagick imap imlib ipv6 jabber javascript jbig joystick jpeg kde lcms libcaca libnotify libwww live lm_sensors mad matroska mbox memlimit midi mmx mmxext mng mp3 mpeg mudflap mysql nas ncurses network nls no-old-linux nodrm nptl nptlonly ogg opengl openmp oscar pcre pdf perl png qt3support quicktime readline rtc samba scanner sdl sensord silc smtp sndfile speex spell sse sse2 ssl svg sysfs tcpd theora threads threadsafe tiff timidity truetype unicode usb userlocales utf8 vcd vorbis win32codecs x86 xinerama xml xorg xulrunner xv xvid yahoo zlib zrtp" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" CAMERAS="ptp2" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LINGUAS="en ru" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="intel none" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
