Xorg crash in dual monitor (intel video) - Solved

I update my system today, and install xorg-server 1.12.0-1, but xorg crash when gnome-session start.

/var/log/Xorg.0.log output:

Work fine when only one monitor is connected.

Video is Intel (core i5-2500K).

Re: Xorg crash in dual monitor (intel video) - Solved

I am experiencing similar problems: Since yesterday's xf86-video-intel upgrade, the display manager does not start if an external monitor is connected. However in my case I don't even get to see a login screen, the X server crashes immediately.
I have tried installing xf86-input-evdev-git from AUR after I found your launchpad link, but unfortunatelly this didn't help. Have you solved the problem yet?

No. I using only one monitor now until the problem is solved.

I googled but could not find any solution.

I've filed a bug on freedesktop:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47395
Compiling the intel drivers with --enable-sna solved the issue for me.

Re: Xorg crash in dual monitor (intel video) - Solved

Guys, I recompile xorg-server package with --disable-config-udev and put this section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-quirks.conf:

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option          "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection

Work fine now.

EndSection

This prevented all of my input devices from being loaded, meaning neither keyboard or mouse worked anymore. I had to boot into a live medium and remove those lines from there. Not recommended!

@mankinskin, the thread is more than 8 years old

a) do not rely on dated information from the interwebz
b) don't necrobump

Don't necrobump, heed the above advice, and open up your own thread with an actual problem description should you actually have an issue.
