Xorg segfaults

phunni · 2011-05-01 09:21:01

Xorg seems to crash fairly often at the moment - ususally when I am i nthe middle of browsing the web on Chrome. Although that could well e a red herring since that's what I mostly do...

The error trace in the logs is as follows:

Backtrace:

Any ideas what is going wrong?

Some more info would be helpful, at least what graphics card do you have, which kernel, libdrm, xorg and drivers versions are you using.
Any errors in the logs?

The trace above is from the logs. The driver I'm using is xf86-video-intel 2.15.0-1

I'm using the latest stock kernel (2.6.38.4) and xorg-server version 1.10.1

The version of libdrm is 2.4.25. This is all on a 64bit machine.

I meant "any more errors"? :-) Run

grep -E '\((WW|EE)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log

What card are you using?

phunni · 2011-05-01 10:08:15

That commands returns:

grep -E '\((WW|EE)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
        (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
[  1597.992] (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/OTF/" does not exist.
[  1597.998] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module fbdev
[  1597.998] (EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)
[  1598.007] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for vesa

The card is an Intel HD graphics integrated into the processor. The chipset is Arrandale (GMCH Ironlake)

Bump - no ideas? Any further info I could provide?

karol · 2011-05-04 09:30:05

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/23646 looks similar. Have you tried downgrading?

phunni · 2011-05-04 12:29:05

Nice spot - thanks. I'll give that a go.

This seems to be the same issue as in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=117669. I solved this, in the short term at least, by installing xf86-video-intel-git from the AUR.
