nu_kru · 2010-12-01 16:05:59

Hi.

I installed arch with kde in a P4, VIA Technologies, Inc. CN896/VN896/P4M900. I've installed xf86-openchrome and I didn't create any xorg.conf
When I try login, X crashes and go to kdm.

when I Iaunch kde it give me this error trace

This is happening to me as well. I was messing around with the desktop effects, and read to remove kwinrc from my home folder configs to fix my mistakes, and it wouldn't let me log in at all (i.e. it would crash like above). If I moved the kwinrc back, it would work fine again. I decided to create a new user on my system for trouble-shooting, and i started having the same error where X would crash. Mind you this was with a brand new user on the system, never logged in before. I decided to edit kwinrc on my new user and noticed this line:

OpenGLIsUnsafe=false

when I was messing around with the desktop effects earlier i was trying to get openGL working and thats where I was having issues. I changed that line to:

OpenGLIsUnsafe=true

and now I can login with my new user. It seems like default settings is to try to use OpenGL (not sure if this is something I did or a default setting elsewhere) and it causes my X to crash. go to:

~/.kde4/share/config

edit kwinrc as i mentioned above and see if you can login now.

I had the same issue on a clean install this morning using the Nouveau driver, which does not support 3d. Fixing the value in kwinrc solved this for me as well.

But is this the correct fix? This was never an issue in earlier releases.

No, I don't think its the "correct" fix. I just posted what I found hoping someone smarter and more knowledgeable than I would know more about what I stumbled across

Thanks this worked

Hi,

I was looking for information and it was in fact a bug in the Unichome DRI Driver of Mesa.

There are more solutions:
This can be avoided by xorg.conf config:

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "off"
EndSection

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=562585

Or to apply a patch to the sources

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26999

I think this last solution is the best

Kwin changes so much between releases that there is no "correct fix". Having said that, the OpenGLIsUnsafe setting is usually what it takes to solve any issues like this one that you were having. It just disables OpenGL 3D acceleration for kwin in case it's marked as true. Luckily 2D performance in kwin is usually pretty good.
I also experienced some issues with the latest update. My system which has been working very well with desktop effects suddenly started to suffer from massive slowdowns when it tried displaying window miniatures. It seems that with the latest 4.5.4 they implemented a new filter but didn't test it in enough hardware to know exactly which gpu supported it.
