Intel i915 hangs

alexey · 2012-03-30 22:51:16

I found that on asus zenbook never upgrade to lib32-intel-dri-8.0.2-1 lib32-libdrm-2.4.33-1 lib32-libgl-8.0.2-1

this set of packages work:
lib32-alsa-lib-1.0.25-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz lib32-libdrm-2.4.31-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
lib32-intel-dri-7.11.2-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz lib32-libgl-7.11.2-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

If you type :
# pacman -Su
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...

Targets (3): lib32-intel-dri-8.0.2-1 lib32-libdrm-2.4.33-1 lib32-libgl-8.0.2-1

Total Installed Size: 11.84 MiB
Net Upgrade Size: -0.54 MiB

Proceed with installation? [Y/n]

Never do it. Or you will lose doom3,

Another question is switching resolution - worked in 3.2.6

Replace packages by:
lib32-alsa-lib-1.0.25-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz lib32-libdrm-2.4.32-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
lib32-intel-dri-7.11.2-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz lib32-libgl-7.11.2-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

3.2.6 work well with switchin screen resolution. that gives you more FPS

alexey · 2012-03-31 15:04:28

Now only this outdated packages let me play doom3 under Arch on ZenbookUX31

$ pacman -Qu
lib32-intel-dri 7.11.2-3
lib32-libdrm 2.4.32-1
lib32-libgl 7.11.2-3
linux 3.2.6-2

The Linux version is due to broken video resolution switching happens on later kernels ((

I'm using linux-pf at version 3.2.7 and i'm having freezes too, but i can use xrandr.
This on an asus 1005ha, intel 945gm and xorg-server version 1.12.
I thought it was an xorg issue as system is alive (i see hd activity, but the mouse pointer is stuck and switching to tty doesn't work), is it the kernel to blame? for me no error messages in everything.log or Xorg.0.log

Now i switched to xrender compositing from opengl (kde), hoping it will not happens again.

the problem with GPU Hang solved by rolling back lib32 dri drm gl libs and locking in pacman.conf:
IgnorePkg = lib32-intel-dri lib32-libdrm lib32-libgl

so now always:

# pacman -Su
:: Starting full system upgrade...
warning: lib32-intel-dri: ignoring package upgrade (7.11.2-3 => 8.0.2-1)
warning: lib32-libdrm: ignoring package upgrade (2.4.32-1 => 2.4.33-1)
warning: lib32-libgl: ignoring package upgrade (7.11.2-3 => 8.0.2-1)
there is nothing to do

Still problems with xrandr ( i started another thread at "laptop issues" with more info). Which making me having two kernels. The latest one ( it looks like it makes better power saving on zenbook ) and 3.2.6 for playing doom3 at lower resolutions.

Rolling back is not a "solution". Whatever issue you had, it still exists. And by your "solution", it'll never get fixed.

For the record, confirmed.

Hi all!
I had the same problem.
After checking log file, I found that Gnome-screensaver made Gnome crash and GPU hang. I disable screensaver and the problem had gone away.
I hope this help you.
^_^
Best regard !

Some time ago i switched again to opengl kde compositing to test if newer drivers were stable, and they seems so, no hangs.
This with 2.19.0
