[SOLVED] X.org Segfaults at address 0x18 with Radeon HD 7700

So I'm in a bit of a predicament. Thirty minutes ago I was minding my own business, working on some logs, editing some programs in Vim, when out of the blue, my entire X session crashes and SLiM starts flashing on the screen for about 30 seconds, after which time I am returned to the console. I figure, no big deal, I'll just update linux, restart the system, and be back on my way. So I do that, reboot, and lo and behold! The exact same thing happens. Luckily, after SLiM finishes its little dance, I can log into the console, and by trial and error, I have determined that I can, in fact, start an X server manually, and I can start most applications. However, sometimes this happens:

Most of the programs I use do not do this; however, urxvt and my panel (bar patched with XFT support) do. I'll admit I don't have much experience with these graphics-related issues, so I'm just going to post everything I think might be useful; if another file would be useful, please let me know.

Any information at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

EDIT: I have just done a bit more testing; the following programs work fine:

gedit
mpv
ranger
avidemux
inkscape
gimp

So far, the only programs that DON'T work are urxvt, bar, and dmenu.

It looks like that you're using mesa-git. Is that correct? If so, any upgrades lately? What happens when you use the version from the repos?

I am using mesa-git. Switching to the repo version causes X (and other programs) to hang:

error while loading shared libraries: libEGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It appears that libEGL.so was symlinked to libEGL.so.1.0.0, but this does not exist in /usr/lib.

skottish · 2015-02-13 02:16:00

libEGL.so.1 belongs to mesa-libgl.

I remember a simple switch over from mesa-git to be a little tricky like this. Check to see what all that you have left in the mesa-git group with and make sure that everything downgrades:

pacman -Qs mesa-git

extarius · 2015-02-13 02:24:59

Re-installing mesa-libgl did the trick! Everything appears to be working as normal now. Thanks for the help.

skottish · 2015-02-13 03:02:33

You're welcome.

I find that the stable Mesa stack is working very well with my R9 270, which is something like a 7750 or 7770 in disguise. The only two problems that I had that haven't been solved with upstream work is that urxvt can be dreadfully slow with programs like alsamixer and xprop. See the section about low performance in the wiki on urxvt for the fix. The other is sometimes you may get cursor corruption when coming out of screen blanking. The can be solved by enabling SWCursor to your xorg conf files. If you get occasional font corruption and are not using [testing], xorg-server 1.17 fixed that.
